*Cracking
Because DymondWood is a composite material comprised of wood and plastic, opposing forces,
affected by external factors can cause cracking in the wood. Cracks in finished products are out of
RPCs control and, therefore, RPC assumes no liability for the same.
*Color Statement
Finished Product colors are representative of an average color when applied to a specific species and
grade of veneer. Understanding the potential for variation in how wood takes color, RPC has
established an acceptable range for finished any given color. Further the variations of woods natural
color and grain structure are to be expected. The natural color of wood will change with exposure to
light moisture and temperature. The degree of change depends on a variety of factors including, but
not limited to the wood specie, and the type(color) and intensity of the light to which it is exposed.
This natural change may result in variations between DymondWood in its unfinished state and
DymondWood that has been made into finished products.
Physical Properties
As a highly engineered wood composite, DymondWood has the physical and mechanical properties
of high-density hardwoods, acrylics and polycarbonate plastics and brass. DymondWood is
distinguished by its unique strength, durability, dimensional stability, weather and moisture resistance
as compared to regular wood.
Exceptional hardness makes it resistant to unusual wear and abrasion
Mechanical properties are similar to brass
The natural bright wood grain requires no further finishing other than sanding and polishing

Grinding Machines
Sawing
Carbide or Diamond Blades are recommended for table saws. On large band saws, high speed
blades will do the job.
Recommended blades> 10 tooth per inch, skip tooth suggested speed, 60 feet per minute.
Circular Saws: Carbide or diamond blades with alternating tooth bevels are recommended (10
blades/60 teeth)
Adhesives
DymondWood Glue Guide
DymondWood always needs a light sanding for a good bond. The contact surface should be
grease free. Many glues are available to glue DymondWood to DymondWood, DymondWood
to natural wood and DymondWood to metal. The best choice of glue depends on the application.
Adhesive
Application
Cyanoacrylate Works best on small, sanded surface. "Maxicure" type is recommended. Requires good
contact.
Epoxy
Works best on clean surface. Unlike the
(Brand used: Cyanoacrylate type glue which is very thin after
Loctite
being cured. Epoxy actually has some body so
item#81502) it can be used in moderately large areas with
less than perfect contact surfaces.
LocTite
Works well for both DymondWood to
330(Modified DymondWood and DymondWood to
methacrylate) metal. This is a two component system. Apply
the glue to the DymondWood surface, and
apply the activator to the metal surface before
assembly. It can work with oily surface.
Ployurethan: Many Polyurethane based adhesives can be
used with DymondWood. This type of glue is
Ashland
Isoset(WD3- slow curing under ambient temperature and
needs some pressure for good bond; not very
C130&CX47), Ashland convenient to use on small areas. Certain
formulations can permit DymondWood to be
Isogrip(SP
glued to slightly greasy material(e.g. rubber).

Finishing
The smooth, high-gloss finish that is characteristic of DymondWood finished products is achieved
by the following process
1) using a #120 grit or finer sandpaper, remove any cutter marks. Sand all surfaces, working with
the grain(A belt sander does a fine job). Remember, the higher the grit, the greater the luster.
2) using a cloth buffing wheel, apply the rough buff compound and buff to a matte finish(TRIPOLI
#1010). If a gloss is desired, apply the finer textured finishing compound(MOCO#1918).
