The LET'S RESIN casting kit includes a plethora of premium and safe materials to facilitate your creative endeavors. This comprehensive package comprises 1000g of odorless plaster casting powder, 8 vibrant pigments, 3 silicone molds, 6 sandpapers, a stirring stick, and a sponge.
The plaster casting powder is a versatile material that allows you to effortlessly create a smooth textured finish by simply adding water. It serves as a great alternative for epoxy resin and UV resin, or can be combined with resin to craft unique artworks. However, it is important to note that you should not mix different casting materials together.
Mixing this powder is a breeze, even for beginners. Simply measure the powder and water, following the ideal ratio of 3:1 (by weight, not volume), and stir thoroughly. You can then adjust the consistency by adding more or less water before pouring the mixture into the molds. After incorporating any desired paints or other additives and stirring for 2 minutes, immediately pour the mixture into the molds and allow it to settle.
The de-mold time is 25-30 minutes, and the fully cured time is 2 hours. It is crucial to allow the material to fully cure before demolding to prevent any delicate details from breaking off. The thin, water-like consistency of the mixture ensures that it easily fills even the smallest crevices, and its exceptional bubble-release ability guarantees a flawless result. Any remaining bubbles can be easily popped by tapping the silicone molds.
The cured plaster powder dries to an opaque white color, providing a versatile canvas for further customization. During the mixing stage, you can combine it with various pigments, mica, glitter, quartz, sand, and gold leaf to achieve your desired aesthetic. For vibrant colors, water-based acrylic paint works best, while mica powder is well-suited for pastel tones. Remember to add the additives in small amounts and mix thoroughly to maintain a lump-free consistency.
Once the casting is completely cured, it can be sanded and painted with acrylic paint, allowing you to further refine and personalize your creations. The durable, heatproof, and non-flammable properties of this casting kit make it suitable for a wide range of applications, including coasters, candle holders, sculptures, figurines, planter pots, and trinket trays. However, it is important to note that the material is porous and not water-resistant after curing, so it may require sealing with varnish, acrylic sealer, or wax sealer.
