Cold mounting is recommended when encapsulating samples that cannot withstand the heat and pressure of compression mounting, when better flow and penetration of the mounting resin is needed, or when a large quantity of samples must be encapsulated at once.
Acrylics: Typically used for their rapid cure times, or when large volume sample throughput is needed.
Epoxies: Typically used for excellent flow and penetration, or when better adhesion, chemical resistance, less shrinkage and clarity are required.
