Vulcan KV Laminate Powder Board System:
• Place a sheet of greaseproof paper or a moulding film sheet on the tray or bed of a Moulding press.
• Place engraved, etched die(s) or dup(s) facing up on the tray or bed.
• Place the correct thickness bearers on press.
• Spray release spray on die/dup(s).
• Sprinkle KV powder into the die/dup(s) a few mm above the face of the die/dup(s) avoiding air traps.
• Place KV backing material on the die/dup(s).
• Place a sheet of greaseproof paper or release film and then a thick Aluminium plate on top.
• Slide tray or bed into the press and mould to the required method, temperature and time.
• Remove from press and cool rapidly under pressure to avoid the moulded KV Counterforce from coming out of the mould.
• Once cooled remove the KV Counterforce from the metal die/dup.
• The backing can be machined to the required thickness.
(A blend of KV powder and a hardener can be poured in the image area of the embossing die to produce a harder and more durable Counterforce)

• Place a sheet of greaseproof paper or Release film on the tray or bed of a moulding press.

• Place the correct thickness bearers on press.
• Spray release spray on die/dup(s).
• Sprinkle KV powder into the die/dup(s) about 2 mm above the face of the die/dup(s) avoiding air traps.
• Spray release spray liberally on an Aluminium plate and once dry place the sprayed side against the die/dup(s).
• Place a sheet of greaseproof paper or Release film over the backing plate.
• Slide tray or bed into the press and mould to the required method, temperature and time.
• Remove from press and cool rapidly under pressure to avoid the moulded KV Counterforce from coming out of the mould.
• Once cooled remove Vulcan KV counterforce from the metal die/dup.
