Preparation – Materials should be stored and used at room temperature 23°C. This product has a limited shelf life and should be used as soon as possible. Mixing should be done in a well-ventilated area. Wear safety glasses, long sleeves and rubber gloves to minimize contamination risk. Before mixing materials, apply Folding Powder™ to work surface in a 6.3 mm layer. Powder gloves with Folding Powder™ to eliminate sticking.

Because no two applications are quite the same, a small test application to determine suitability for your project is recommended if performance of this material is in question.

Applying A Release Agent – This product is adhesive and will bond to many surfaces. Where adhesion is not desired, a thorough application of Ease Release™ 200 release agent (available from form X) is recommended.

Measuring - Free Form™ Habitat™ Flex FR comes as two parts. Dispense equal amounts of Part A and Part B. These products have a limited shelf life and should be used as soon as possible.
Mixing - This product is mixed by hand. You must wear vinyl or nitrile gloves when mixing. Without Folding Powder - measure equal amounts of A and B and stir with a flat edge, stiff paddle until all color streaks disappear (uniform color). With Folding Powder - You must wear gloves when mixing this material, wearing vinyl gloves reduces inhibition risk. First, thoroughly coat gloves with folding powder to prevent sticking. Knead parts A+B together while folding powder into mixture. The amount of powder to add depends on desired working consistency. The more powder you add, the thicker the mixture becomes. Fold mixture into itself repeatedly until desired consistency is attained (3-5 minutes or a minimum of 20 folds).
