FAQs

What age is this craft kit suitable for?

This kit is recommended for children aged 7 years and above.

What materials are included in the kit?

The kit includes sticky base, white cement, gloves, a stirrer, and cement dye for creating three containers.

How long does it take for the containers to set?

The casting mixture needs to set for several hours. It's best to let them harden completely before handling or using them.

No, the kit is designed to provide all the necessary materials to create exactly three containers.

Are the moulds reusable?

The moulds are cut from the product box itself and are intended for single use.

What can I store in the finished containers?

The finished holders are ideal for storing lightweight items such as markers, pencils, crayons, or small trinkets.

Is this kit safe for children?

Yes, the kit is designed for children aged 7+ and holds UKCA and CE compliance certificates. However, it is not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts.

How do I clean the finished containers?

You can wipe the finished containers with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Casting mixture does not set

Ensure the correct ratio of water to powder was used. Double-check the mixing instructions and ensure all components were stirred thoroughly. Extreme temperatures or humidity can also affect setting time.

Finished containers are brittle or break easily

This could be due to insufficient mixing, incorrect water-to-powder ratio, or removing the containers from the mould too soon. Allow ample time for hardening, typically several hours or overnight.

Color is not vibrant or uneven

Ensure the cement dye was mixed evenly into the casting mixture. For more intense color, a slightly higher concentration of dye might be needed, but always follow the instructions for best results.

Moulds are difficult to cut from the box

Use a craft knife or scissors carefully to cut along the designated lines. Adult supervision is recommended for this step.
