Isopropanol IPA

Product detailed description

What it's good for

• Degreasing the surface before casting (tiles, metal, glass, some plastics – always test in an inconspicuous area).
• Cleaning tools – spatulas, mixing sticks, tweezers, the edges of cups with fresh epoxy residue.
• Quick workplace hygiene – removing dust/fingerprints from silicone moulds and worktops.

How to use

1. Spray / apply to a cloth and wipe the surface. Allow to air briefly until the surface is dry.
2. Sensitive materials (some varnishes, acrylates, printed designs) test first – IPA may dull/dissolve.
3. Silicone moulds: prefer lukewarm water + mild soap. Use IPA sparingly, wipe quickly and dry immediately.
4. Brushes and small items: wipe off any remaining epoxy with paper, then briefly clean with IPA and wash again with water and detergent.

Tips from experience

• Non-contact degreasing: spray IPA onto a microfibre cloth (not directly onto dust forms - this will reduce fibre build-up).
• Clean casting edges: after gentle sanding, wipe the dust with IPA and apply a thin clear coat for a "mirror" finish.
• Sprayer is suitable for large areas; the without sprayer option is economical for local cleaning.

Safety and storage

• Highly flammable. Work in a well-ventilated area, away from sources of ignition and open flames.
• Health: avoid contact with eyes and prolonged contact with skin; do not inhale aerosol.
• Store in a tightly closed container, in a cool and dry place, out of reach of children.
• Not intended for contact with food.
