Crestafire P1-3002PA should be allowed to attain workshop temperature (18°C - 20°C) before use. It requires only the addition of a catalyst to start the curing reaction. The recommended catalyst is MEKP (50%), which should be added at 1% - 2% into the resin. The catalyst should be thoroughly incorporated into the resin, using a low shear mechanical stirrer where possible.

Additives
The addition of fillers or pigment pastes can adversely affect the properties of the cured laminate.
Post Curing
Satisfactory laminates for many applications can be made from Crestafire P1-3002PA by curing at workshop temperature (20°C). For optimum properties, however, laminates should be post-cured before being put into service. The laminate should be allowed to cure for 24 hours at 20°C, and then be oven cured for 16 hours at 40°C or 3 hours at 80°C.
