A polymer slab dissolving upon water contact indicates it is hydrophilic and water-soluble. These polymers, such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) or certain types of polyethylene glycol (PEG), have an affinity for water due to their polar functional groups, allowing them to interact with and dissolve in water. This property is leveraged in various applications, including drug delivery systems, where the polymer dissolves to release a pharmaceutical compound, and in water treatment, where polymers can encapsulate contaminants for removal. The dissolution rate can be adjusted by modifying the polymer's molecular weight or copolymerizing with hydrophobic units, offering control over its behavior in aqueous environments. However, such water-soluble polymers must be used carefully, considering the potential environmental impact, especially in single-use applications, to prevent pollution.

To stop resin from dripping, start by ensuring your working surface is entirely level; even minor inclines can cause resin to flow unevenly. Apply tape or a silicone mat around the project's edges to catch drips. You can also use a heat gun gently over the surface to encourage even spreading and reduce viscosity, which helps minimize drips. For ongoing projects, periodically check and wipe away any drips with a disposable tool or cloth. Adjust the resin's mixture ratio if necessary, as too much hardener can make the resin more fluid and prone to dripping. Lastly, working in a controlled environment minimizes unexpected drips caused by temperature fluctuations or dust.

The EZ Ink XL cartridges are third-party ink replacements designed for compatibility with various Canon printers. However, they are not specifically listed as compatible with the Canon Pixma MG6020 model. Before purchasing EZ Ink XL for your Canon 6020, it's important to check the exact cartridge model numbers that your printer requires. Canon 6020 typically uses PG-245/CL-246 or PG-250/CL-251 cartridges. While some third-party brands may claim broad compatibility, there can be issues with print quality, longevity, or even damage to the printer. If you decide to use EZ Ink XL, ensure that they offer the correct model number for your printer. Alternatively, consider using genuine Canon cartridges for optimal performance and reliability.
