•  In order to obtain the best results, the samples should be cleaned before mounting, without oil or other contaminants on the surface, to ensure the best adhesion of the resin to the sample. Hot Mounting, as the name suggests, is the embedding of the sample in the resin by means of hot pressing and is particularly suited to laboratories that have a constant need for sample preparation with flat surfaces, regular dimensions, easy handling, short time-consuming and economical.

Before sample mounting process, the grease on the sample needs to be removed so that the mounting resin can perfectly adhere to the surface of the sample. If burrs are generated during the cutting process, you can use sandpaper to remove the burrs on the edge of the sample.

Problem	Causes	Solutions
Bulge	Less cooling time	Increase the cooling times
Primer cracks	Oversized Coated part according to the chosen mounting mould	Reduce the size of the sample or increase the size of the mounting mould
Shrinkage	Inadequate mounting resins	Choose less shrinkage resins
	Insufficient heating time	Increase the temperature during the heating time
	Insufficient pressure	Increase the mounting pressure
" Smoke" visible	Wrong pressure choice	Increase pressure only during cooling cycle
	Too much resin than sample dimension	Reduce resin quantity or mold dimension
	Insufficient heating time	Increase the heating time
Resins grains visible	Insufficient pressure	Increase the pressure during the mounting cycle
	Insufficient heating time	Increase the heating time
