🪴 Yes! HydroCast's sustainable formula offers a guilt-free crafting experience, ensuring your projects are not only stunning but also eco-friendly. Making it safe for indoor use and sustainable without sacrificing quality.

💫 HydroCast is more robust and less prone to yellowing compared to traditional resin. Its matte finish seamlessly complements any home decor. This non-toxic resin substitute is ideal for creating beautiful projects.

🪨 Despite its sustainable formula, HydroCast does not compromise on durability. This mineral-based casting compound ensures that creations are long-lasting and resistant to wear and tear, making it a reliable choice for any crafting project.

🌈 HydroCast is great for making custom terrazzo chips. Simply mix colored HydroCast, break or cut it into small pieces, then add them into fresh HydroCast or other compatible materials to create terrazzo-style projects. This eco-friendly casting material makes it easy to customize chip size, color, and placement.

⭕ To prevent a spotty appearance, ensure thorough mixing of HydroCast. It's essential to mix this mineral-based casting compound well to eliminate lumps. Make sure HydroCast pigments are evenly dispersed throughout for a consistent and high-quality finish.

🪄 Feel free to experiment with adding acrylic paint to HydroCast, but be mindful of the ratio. Adding excessive paint, especially water-based acrylics, can impede the curing process of this mineral-based casting compound. You can achieve great results with acrylic paint, alcohol inks, and mica powders. However, HydroCast pigments offer richer colors compared to acrylics, even the higher-priced ones. Just one drop can make a significant color difference. This eco-friendly casting material allows for vibrant customization while maintaining its non-toxic nature.

🕒 Allow a full 24 hours before beginning the sanding process on your HydroCast projects. Start with a coarse grit, such as 180, and gradually progress to a fine grit, approximately 400, for a smooth finish. Wet sanding is also an option, which can help achieve an even smoother surface. This mineral-based casting compound is easy to sand, providing a professional finish for your sustainable crafting material.

⌚ We recommend pouring another layer in less than an hour, once the material reaches the 'tack-free' stage. It's best to proceed with the next layer during this time to ensure proper adhesion. Waiting too long may require sanding first before pouring a new layer. It's crucial to complete any layering within this timeframe to maintain the quality of your eco-friendly casting material projects.

🚰 HydroCast is fire-resistant because of its mineral-based composition. With a suitable waterproof sealer, it can also become water-resistant. However, the level of water resistance depends on the sealer used. Adding a sealer doesn't significantly impact its fire resistance. Just make sure the sealer you choose is compatible with HydroCast to keep its fire-resistant qualities intact. This durable casting material provides both safety and reliability for your DIY projects.
