Mixing

Adding colour
Use any water based pigment e.g. resi-TINT acrylic inks, acrylic paints or mica powders, e.g. resi-TINT MAX Neon Powder.

Any solid can be added, sand, mica, quartzite, dried shards of Aqua Cast etc.

Mixing the powder

The desired viscosity & consistency can be controlled to suit the application. Alterations to the guide powder to water ratio will affect the product performance, particularly in terms of drying time. Measure the desired amount of water, add the corresponding quantity of powder gradually during mixing. For example:

100g powder to 35g/ml water

150g powder to 52g/ml water

200g powder to 70g/ml water

300g powder to 105g/ml water

500g powder to 175g/ml water

Use the handy online calculator tool on this page, all you need to know (or calculate), is the volume of your mould in grams or millilitres.

Mix by hand or with an electric mixing blade for 2-4 minutes until uniform and smooth. Add pigments at the mixing stage to obtain the desired colour shade. The mixed solution will rapidly become creamy and lump free, tap the mixing container to help remove trapped air.

Application

Arrange the glow gravel over the surface of the mould.

Immediately pour Aqua Cast over the gravel and allow to settle. Any residual bubbles can be popped by agitating or tapping the mould. Allow to harden for 60-90 minutes before demoulding (temperature and mix ratio dependent). Allow to dry for 24-48 hours to build cured strength.
