- Can you use castin' craft clear on a mosaic table instead of grout?
- Absolutely, you can use Castin'; Craft Clear Polyester Casting Resin as an alternative to grout for a mosaic table! This resin can create a beautiful, glossy, and durable finish that enhances the look of your mosaic pieces by providing a clear, glass-like appearance. Here are some key points to consider when using it in place of grout: Pros of Using Castin'; Craft Clear Polyester Casting Resin: Crystal Clear Finish: The resin will give your mosaic a smooth, glossy, and transparent finish that highlights the colors and patterns of your tiles or other materials. Durability: Once fully cured, the resin provides a hard and durable surface that can protect your mosaic from spills and wear. Seamless Look: Unlike grout, which has a matte finish and creates visible lines between pieces, the resin will fill in all the gaps and create a seamless, unified look. Considerations and Tips: Preparation: Make sure your mosaic pieces are well-secured to the surface. Any loose pieces can shift when you pour the resin. Seal Porous Materials: If you have porous mosaic pieces (like unglazed ceramic or natural stone), consider sealing them first to prevent the resin from seeping into the material and creating dark spots or bubbles. Mixing and Pouring: Carefully follow the instructions for mixing the resin and hardener. Mix thoroughly to avoid bubbles, and pour slowly to prevent air pockets from forming. Leveling: Ensure the table is perfectly level before pouring the resin. The resin will self-level, but an uneven surface can cause pooling or uneven coverage. Multiple Layers: Depending on the depth of your mosaic pieces, you may need to pour multiple layers of resin, allowing each layer to cure before adding the next. This will help avoid excessive heat build-up and potential cracking. Curing Time: Give the resin ample time to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions. Polyester resin typically has a longer cure time than some other resins, but it's important to be patient to achieve the best results. Important Note: Heat Sensitivity: Castin'; Craft Clear Polyester Casting Resin can be sensitive to temperature, so make sure to work in a well-ventilated area that's within the recommended temperature range (usually between 70-80'F or 21-27'C) for the resin to cure properly. Using resin instead of grout will definitely give your mosaic table a unique and stunning look!

- I have a 32 oz snow globe I want to fill with with rest - can I pour this in one pour ?
- For a project like filling a 32 oz snow globe with Castin'; Craft Clear Polyester Casting Resin, it';s generally recommended to proceed with caution when considering a single pour. Here's why: Heat Generation: Polyester resin generates heat as it cures (an exothermic reaction). Pouring a large volume at once can cause excessive heat, leading to potential issues like cracking, warping, or even discoloration of the resin. Best Approach: Multiple Pours: To ensure the best results and avoid overheating, it';s safer to pour the resin in layers. Pour a few ounces at a time, allowing each layer to partially cure before adding the next. This approach will help control the heat and provide a clearer, more stable result. If you're set on trying a single pour, make sure to work in a well-ventilated area and monitor the temperature closely. However, layering is the safest method for a smooth, clear finish. If you have more questions or need further guidance, feel free to contact us at (269) 488-4000 or info@alumilite.com. We';re here to help! 😊

- I have a 32 oz snow globe I want to fill with with rest - can I pour this in one pour ?
- For a project like filling a 32 oz snow globe with Castin'; Craft Clear Polyester Casting Resin, it';s generally recommended to proceed with caution when considering a single pour. Here's why: Heat Generation: Polyester resin generates heat as it cures (an exothermic reaction). Pouring a large volume at once can cause excessive heat, leading to potential issues like cracking, warping, or even discoloration of the resin. Best Approach: Multiple Pours: To ensure the best results and avoid overheating, it';s safer to pour the resin in layers. Pour a few ounces at a time, allowing each layer to partially cure before adding the next. This approach will help control the heat and provide a clearer, more stable result. If you're set on trying a single pour, make sure to work in a well-ventilated area and monitor the temperature closely. However, layering is the safest method for a smooth, clear finish. If you have more questions or need further guidance, feel free to contact us at (269) 488-4000 or info@alumilite.com. We';re here to help! 😊

"Unfortunately, I’ve received 2 of these, and they were both bad. The resin is hardened, crusty white. Have they stopped making this product and are only down to the last few, outdated cans?"
Good product
"A little thick and a slight bit heavy cans but I was able to create what I needed for my DIY project. Fast delivery was helpful as well."

"Product was great. It seemed fresh and worked like a charm. After this purchase my credit card was comprised and maxed out the next day. Disputed and resolved. Possibly somewhere else but it was an isolated purchase. I started receiving several promotional emails a day from Alumilite. It was too many. I unsubscribed and that stopped. Then I started getting targeted ads across multiple platforms. Not a fan of that. I won’t be using the coupon from this review. (Email after unsubscribing) And will never be making another purchase from this company."

Good Customer Service and Product
"I live in the hood and our first can got stolen. They sent another at no charge. Sometimes the resin arrives hard, and not thick and liquidy like it should be. This can arrived in good condition with the casting tube intact."

"I have used CastinCraft poly resin for years. It is getting more difficult to find and the big box craft store (HL) no longer carries it. I'm a pen turner and do my own clear casting. This product is great and glad Alumilite is carrying it now."

Q&A
- Can I pour Clear Polyester Casting Resin/Liquid Plastic on top of a Glaze Coat crystal clear high gloss finish two part epoxy as a final coat?
- We do not recommend using the Polyester casting resin for coating applications. Polyester casting Casting resins shrink while curing and does not self level and may cure with ripples on top and will not cure in a thin layer.

- Can you use castin' craft clear on a mosaic table instead of grout?
- Absolutely, you can use Castin'; Craft Clear Polyester Casting Resin as an alternative to grout for a mosaic table! This resin can create a beautiful, glossy, and durable finish that enhances the look of your mosaic pieces by providing a clear, glass-like appearance. Here are some key points to consider when using it in place of grout: Pros of Using Castin'; Craft Clear Polyester Casting Resin: Crystal Clear Finish: The resin will give your mosaic a smooth, glossy, and transparent finish that highlights the colors and patterns of your tiles or other materials. Durability: Once fully cured, the resin provides a hard and durable surface that can protect your mosaic from spills and wear. Seamless Look: Unlike grout, which has a matte finish and creates visible lines between pieces, the resin will fill in all the gaps and create a seamless, unified look. Considerations and Tips: Preparation: Make sure your mosaic pieces are well-secured to the surface. Any loose pieces can shift when you pour the resin. Seal Porous Materials: If you have porous mosaic pieces (like unglazed ceramic or natural stone), consider sealing them first to prevent the resin from seeping into the material and creating dark spots or bubbles. Mixing and Pouring: Carefully follow the instructions for mixing the resin and hardener. Mix thoroughly to avoid bubbles, and pour slowly to prevent air pockets from forming. Leveling: Ensure the table is perfectly level before pouring the resin. The resin will self-level, but an uneven surface can cause pooling or uneven coverage. Multiple Layers: Depending on the depth of your mosaic pieces, you may need to pour multiple layers of resin, allowing each layer to cure before adding the next. This will help avoid excessive heat build-up and potential cracking. Curing Time: Give the resin ample time to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions. Polyester resin typically has a longer cure time than some other resins, but it's important to be patient to achieve the best results. Important Note: Heat Sensitivity: Castin'; Craft Clear Polyester Casting Resin can be sensitive to temperature, so make sure to work in a well-ventilated area that's within the recommended temperature range (usually between 70-80'F or 21-27'C) for the resin to cure properly.
