In order to use this product, you will also require a Grain Replicator Gun and Grain Replicator Tips (sold separately).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTo create a grain you will require 4 parts:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eCompound - Consists of 2 chambers with reactive components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eGun - The gun consists of 2 parts - Trigger and plunger which is used to push the components in the cartridge through the tip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eTip - Attached at the top of the cartridge, the tip ensures the two components mix together when pushed out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003ePlastic Film - The plastic film is placed over the compound to help spread it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNote: One Grain Replicator cartridge can roughly make 20 grains of about 25 cm diameter which can be used multiple times. Suitable for use on leather and vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNot suitable for use on absorbent or porous leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p1\"\u003eInstructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eFirst, Prepare the surface to be grained. Grain Replicator is a fast-curing compound so prepping the surface prior is important. Remove all the components of the kit and place them in a clean accessible area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eThe components are viscous but have a runny consistency.\u003cbr\u003eChoose a flat and horizontal surface with a similar grain structure to the area being repaired.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eRemove the cap from the cartridge and screw a tip. Cut the tapered end of the tip using scissors or a cutter. This makes it easier to push the components out as less force is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003ePlace the cartridge with the tip at the end of the gun.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003ePush the compound directly on the leather or vinyl in a circular fashion to form a lump. Ensure there are no gaps or holes in the lump of compound. Use roughly half the amount of compound included in the cartridge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003ePlace the plastic film over the lump and spread to form a circular shape using your finger or a spatula. Ensure the compound is spread evenly and make the edges as thin as possible. Work quickly but carefully as the compound hardens quickly at warm temperatures. If necessary, use a heat gun to harden the compound. Maintain distance with the heat gun, and use a warm setting to avoid burning the plastic film.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eAfter a few minutes, gently peel off the plastic film. If the film sticks to the compound, allow it more time to set. Once the film is peeled off, the grain can be lifted using a spatula.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSDS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafety Data Sheets in each language:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/3171\/3932\/files\/GEIST_Grain_Copy_Kit_GB-en1_2_fa112786-0353-4168-a34d-2f7d4d8f03c1.pdf?v=1732619606\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEnglish (UK)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/3171\/3932\/files\/GEIST_Grain_Copy_Kit_USA-en1_2_4245a364-83a3-4fcd-bec5-03a4fdf638cc.pdf?v=1732619642\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEnglish (USA\/CA)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"www.leathercare.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41518699708556,"sku":"replicatorkit","price":46.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/3171\/3932\/files\/Grain_Kit.svg?v=1728307867","url":"https:\/\/www.leathercare.com\/it-int\/products\/grain-replicator-compound","provider":"www.leathercare.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
