Polyurethane Resins
  Why do my clear polyurethane parts have opaque or spotted surfaces?
 

There are two reasons why clear parts can have an imperfect surface

1. The wrong mould material was used

For casting clear polyurethanes, use only silicone HQA40 material, which is a translucent silicone.

Only addition cure silicone should be used for clear polyurethane casting

Condensation cure silicones will cause inhibition and leave a sticky surface.

2. Release agents were used

For perfect surfaces, no release agents can be used, as they give the surface a structure that looks opaque or spotty.
