How to Use

Break the compound slab into smaller pieces for easier melting. Melt at approximately 45°C using a double boiler or in a microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each interval. Once fully melted and smooth, use directly for coating, moulding, or mixing. No tempering is needed — Vanleer Dark Compound sets beautifully on its own. Allow coated or moulded items to set at room temperature or briefly in the refrigerator.

Storage Instructions

Store in a cool, dry, hygienic place away from direct sunlight and strong odours. Ideal storage temperature: 18°C–22°C. Best before 12 months from the date of manufacture.
