Support- Troubleshooting

PROBLEM	POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOFT SPOTS	MATERIAL MAY BE OVER CATALYZED:
	MATERIAL MAY BE UNDER CATALYZED
	MATERIAL IS NOT THOROUGHLY MIXED
POROSITY	IF A SURFACE COAT:
	MATERIAL APPLIED TOO THICK IF A CASTING RESIN:
	MATERIAL HAS BEEN OVERMIXED
	MATERIAL MIXED AT HIGH RPM
SHORT POT-LIFE	MATERIAL OVER CATALYZED:
	SHOP TEMPERATURE TOO WARM
	REQUEST LONGER POT-LIFE MATERIAL
LONG POT-LIFE	MATERIAL IS UNDER CATALYZED:
	SHOP TEMPERATURE IS TOO COLD
	REQUEST SHORTER POT-LIFE MATERIAL
AIR VOIDS	IF A LAMINATE:
	BRIDGING OF CLOTH OVER SHARP RADIUS
	ENTRAPPING AIR WITH LOOSE LAMINATION
DELAMINATION	MATERIAL ALLOWED TO CURE TOO FAR BETWEEN APPLICATIONS
	CONTAMINATED MATERIAL (SOLVENT, DUST, ETC.)
HIGH SHRINKAGE	MATERIAL OVER CATALYZED
	MATERIAL CAST TOO THICK
	REQUEST LONGER POT-LIFE HARDENER
WARPING	INCORRECT PROCESSING TEMPERATURE
	INSUFFICIENT CURE
	INSUFFICIENT SUPPORT STRUCTURE
CRACKING	HIGH EXOTHERM
	INCORRECT PROCESSING TEMPERATURE
	INSUFFICIENT SUPPORT STRUCTURE
	INSUFFICIENT POST CURE
	THERMAL SHOCK
PRINT THROUGH	SURFACE COAT TOO THIN
	CLOTH "PUSHED THROUGH"
	SURFACE COAT DURING APPLICATION
BONDING	INADEQUATE/IMPROPERLY APPLIED MOLD RELEASE

	Off ratio	Poor mix	High exotherm	Incorrect process temperature	Incorrect release technique	Application Technique	Insufficient cure	Insufficient support structure	Thermal Shock	Insufficient postcure
