No, RelWOOD™ Board is free of Lead, Cadmium, Mercury and chromium metals.
The heating time is approximately 1 to 1.5 minutes per millimeter of board thickness. It's crucial to heat the board evenly to a temperature of about 100 - 120 ºC throughout the entire piece. This ensures that the board becomes malleable enough to shape without damaging it.
Once the board reaches the desired temperature, maintain this temperature for about 3 to 4 minutes. This 'hold time' is essential for the material to become sufficiently flexible for shaping.
Yes, it’s possible for the panel to shrink when heated without a frame. Therefore, it is recommended to cut the board to the final size only after the reshaping and cooling process is complete to ensure accurate dimensions.
Yes, conducting preliminary tests is recommended. These tests allow you to understand how the material reacts to heating and shaping, ensuring that you can achieve the desired result without damaging the board.
After shaping, the cooling down time is approximately 1 to 1.5 minutes per millimeter of board thickness. This gradual cooling helps in setting the shape effectively.
