ResinCrete, 1000G Water-Based Eco-Friendly Formula, 20-30 Minutes Demold Fast Curing Eco Casting for Beginners, Mineral Casting Powder, Easy Mix for DIY Home Art

This is an excellent product that dries rock hard really fast. The only thing that people need to know is that it's a little hard to color. I use alcohol inks and mica and it takes a lot to make it a different color than white. But once I got a hang of it, it turned out beautiful.

Iam new to working with ecoresin and I have found it to be extremely easy to use once you understand the measuring guidlines. I used a scale to measure but also used silicone cups that had premeasured lines. I found that the scale provided a different consistency to when I using the premeasured cups. My initial pours went fairly well, no bubbles and even domes some well. Some didn't go as well because I over poured them and the mix began to harden. My second round was actually worse because I ubder poured the mould and when I attempted to go back and fill them, they poured horribly and began to harden before I could get you all the moulds. I tried to fix the overpowers but made them worse as seen in the pictures. So unfortunately, I will be needing some more practice and we'll be doing a lot of sanding on this second pour. Over all, I love the product and plan on finding more items to create with it.

JDiction is the Gold Star in resin Crete. It is very easy to work with and produces amazing casts. Wonderful for beginners to use and very reasonably priced. Delivery was fast and item was well packaged.

EcoResin, Jezmonite, PerfectCast, EcoCrete... The list of 10-powder-to-3-water-by-weight goes on and on. Distinguished from Plaster of Paris by the use of some binder unknown to me. but which substantially improves strength (though it's still prone to brittle fracture). There are 3 stages of curing for this stuff. First, after mixing it's a strongly thixotropic liquid. (hence, tapping and shaking molds are essential to getting bubbles out). For thin, flat castings, where it will tend not to flow to the edges of the mold, the shape isn't great for shaking and tapping, but if you gently hold a spatula or spoon against the surface and vibrate that hand, the whole mass will fluidize and self-level. After a fairly short time, it begins to set up, and at this time it starts to become warm (unclear if this is a hydration reaction, an exothermic polymerization reaction in the binder, or some of each). At the end of this phase, it will cool off, but it will still feel quite damp; it's still quite fragile. With the reaction over, and water evaporating from the casting, it becomes cool to the touch and damp during the final phase of the apparent cure. While it is possible to demold while it's still damp (and with some mold shapes you may have to because it could never hope to shed that water through the narrow neck), one must be very careful. Once it is fully dry, it has most of it's final strength, and it no longer needs special handling, you can paint it with acryllic paint, sand it, etc. You can also brush mica pigment on the inside of the mold and get a decent (not great) finish (in this case, plan to cover with at least clear acrylic, and be super careful while it's still wet, as the pigment can rub off easily. The work time is **short** - you mix that mica pigment with the powder ahead of time (and don't expect much out of mixed mica, it kinda sucks here), along with any other additives (fibrous strengtheners definitely work, though not as magically well as in epoxy). Heat resistance without catastrophic failure is incredible - though once heated beyond a certain temperature, it loses strength. This makes it suitable for ashtrays and candle holders, where epoxy would not be. Epoxy can be poured on top of this stuff and will stick decently (or excellently if you sprinkly this stuff with chopped glass or aramid fiber). There's just one big problems I have with EcoResin - and it really has nothing to do with the resin itself. This stuff is a RIPOFF. You don't even need to look off Amazon to find PerfectCast with the same FBA delivery. PerfectCast is to the best that I can tell identical (likely same for any plaster like thing with 10:3 ratio). For 20% less than this 1 kilo bag, you can get 4 lbs (1.8 kg) of perfect cast, with amazon shipping. So yeah, this is great stuff, but you can get it for less under other brand names. It has been claimed that it can be had for $8/4lb if you know where to go (but I don't). Either way, this price is at least twice as high as it could be.

I love this product so much! So far everything I make with it comes out perfectly and I love that porcelain feel of the items. This is my forth bag I’ve purchased and my only complaint is it being a bit pricey for what you get and the sealer can be streaky if you aren’t careful.
