ACTIVAPermastone Casting Compound - 28 Ounces, Bisque White

Easy to use, produces super smooth, strong molds that are easy to paint and have flawless surface.

Used this for a Christmas gift -- created a "brick" and placed a gift card in the middle for my bro-in-law. Set up very well and fast! Just a tip to let it dry a long time prior to use -- It took longer to fully dry than anticipated!

I am amazed at how beautiful the castings are I get from this casting material!!!! I used it in a silicon mold that I lightly covered with baby oil… I mean very lightly… as in, two small drops on a paper towel over the tip of my finger… then rubbed into the mold… afterwards, I mixed up the permastone according to the directions of 1.5 parts permastone to 1 part water…. Mixed thoroughly and t(en immediately poured into the mold… this stuff starts to set up FAST…. There is no time to dilly dally around… after pouring, I tapped the mold to release any potential air bubbles and let it sit for 2 hours… after I gently removed the mold, I was blown away at the quality of this cast! The surface of the cast is silky smooth… it feels like marble to me… I will wait until tomorrow to paint the casting… at which time, I will return to this review and update how it has done with painting it… so far, this casting material is a 10 star review (if we could do more than 5 stars lol)

I really like this product. It is easy to use and the results are very smooth and heavier than regular plaster of paris. I will only be using it for small pieces though because I find the price prohibitive.

All kidding aside, as advertised, this plaster dries extra hard and resistant to cracking. I recommend it for artistic endeavors!
