Full details

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this craft kit?

This kit is designed for creating custom-made square trays, perfect for home decor, jewelry storage, or as decorative accent pieces.

How long does it take for the tray to be ready to use?

The initial hardening takes 90-240 minutes. After demolding, it requires a post-curing period of 24-48 hours to become strong and durable for use.

Can I add my own colors to the tray?

Yes, the kit allows you to add pretty colors and beautiful effects like marbling or terrazzo for a personalized touch.

Is this kit suitable for children?

The kit is recommended for adults and children together, but it is not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts.

What materials are included in the kit?

The kit includes casting mix, craft paint, a silicone mold, a sanding sponge, a bowl, and a stirrer.

How should I clean the finished trays?

Clean the trays with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or placing them in a dishwasher.

What is the advantage of the post-curing time?

The post-curing time of 24-48 hours is essential to ensure the casted tray becomes strong and durable for long-term use.

Troubleshooting

Casting mix not hardening properly

Ensure the correct ratio of powder to water was used. Check that the ambient temperature is within the recommended range for curing. Insufficient mixing can also be a cause.

Tray has air bubbles

Tap the mold gently after pouring to release trapped air. Pour the mixture slowly and steadily into the mold.

Demolding is difficult

Ensure the casting has fully hardened and post-cured according to instructions. Gently flex the silicone mold edges to release the cast.

Surface is rough after curing

Use the provided sanding sponge to smooth out any rough areas. For a smoother finish, consider a finer grit sandpaper after the initial sanding.

Colors do not mix as expected

Experiment with small amounts of pigment or paint on a test batch first. Ensure paints are compatible with resin casting materials.
