1. How high of a dome can be created?
   
   The average height of a dome is approximately .60" - .080". Higher domes can be created on smaller parts. The type of piece being domed and curing process will also determine how high of a dome you can create.

2. What shapes can I dome?
   
   Virtually any shape is "domable". However, sharp corners should be avoided if possible. The doming resins will self level and flow better into a radius.

3. What environment should domed parts be placed in during cure?
   
   A general rule of thumb is to place curing pieces in clean, dry, and warm environment. For specific guidelines refer to the Product Data Bulletin for each product.

4. How do I get the material to stay on the label?
   
   Our Polymer Doming Resins are formulated to provide just the "right" amount of surface tension so the material travels to the edge of the part or label and holds. These systems work best on parts that have sharp or clean cut edges.

5. How do I get rid of air bubbles?
   
   Deco-Coat Doming Resins are known in the industry for their efficient air release. The slow gelling epoxy systems usually release air bubbles on their own. However, to facilitate air bubble removal, a hot air gun or torch can be passed over the surface of all doming systems before the material gels.

6. To what types of substrates can I apply Deco-Coat Domes?
   
   Just about any non-porous substrates can be domed. The following materials are frequently domed: photographic paper, metalized polyester (mylar), vinyl, magnets, metals, polycarbonate, ceramic, acrylics, coated papers, etc...

   On average, 1 gram of material will adequately dome a 1" round surface. One gallon will cover approximately 4,000 square inches.
