JDictionResinCrete Kit, Complete Kit Easy for Beginners, 20-30Minutes Demold, Include Water-Based Eco-Friendly Casting Powder, Mold & Pigment, Easy Mix for Beginners DIY Home Decor

Ok. Back in the mid 90's out came plaster of Paris with silicone sculpture molds. Safe, non toxic, easy to use. But there were some challenges. Air bubbles. Removing them from the molds was ok. Painting them was fun. The molds were reusable, and for me with a daycare, that was big. The kids had lots of fun, (ok I did too). The price was very reasonable!Now along comes this product! I honestly had this in my cart on hold for months due to the cost. But along came a sale so I say let's try.Now no matter if your a beginner or seasoned crafter to this kind of material, it doesn't matter, you can do this! The kit literally comes with things to get started, you just need a basic kitchen scale, (which are inexpensive now a days, coming from someone who is on a very fixed budget), cardboard square big enough for your mold to sit on and water. If you are still unsure, watch Steven McDonald, glitz n glitter, and so many others on YouTube. Steve, however really does a fantastic job with many insights.Ok. Follow instructions, even if you make a mistake and add to much water or resincrete, you can still fix it. No worries. The cardboard, tile or something to put your mold on, (which it comes with 3 cool molds), that cardboard will help you to shake out any bubbles, move it without spilling, just a great tool that's free!. Everyone has cardboard!Now, (wish I knew this years ago with the plaster of Paris), but you can color this in many ways. If you add Mica, add it to the dry first, liquid or acrylic paint, add it to the water first. (If you want different colors, do smaller batches to put together). The bubbles, wow, barely any. The surface, smooth with a beautiful Sheen!Now I wished I never listened to my ex husband! I wish I had kept those molds and ice cube trays I had those 20 some odd years ago!You can use this in ice cube trays like from the dollar store also!My recommendations when you finally decide to buy this kit:Buy another bag of resincreteKitchen scaleFun mold, such as even the candy melt trays, ice cube trays. (No need to go expensive here)The bottle of glaze that is water soluble for resincrete.String (to make ornaments)A simple face mask, (in case of dust)ImaginationYou will not regret this purchase! But if you have children, they will have fun also! Hmmm who will have more fun? The adults or the children?You decide!

Product was easy to work with and demoulded perfectly in 30 mins. Will definitely be ordering more.

My wife tried for the first time yesterday and now she's obsessed. Easy to mix, sets up fast, and hardens like a rock! Have a feeling my wallet is going to be empty with her buying more!!

The starter kit has everything necessary to create several items. While the compound sets up quickly, it, initially, flows like water, which enables it to get into every detailed part of a mold. The short de-mold time allows multiple castings in a short time period and, also, feeds instant gratification. The cured projects are “rock solid” and have a nice weight. The finish, before applying any type of finishing wax or sealant, is silky smooth.There are several options for adding pigment. I have, so far, used only the Jdiction pigments for Resincrete. I was not impressed with results using pigments from the kit. Despite vigorously shaking the vials some of the pigments had the consistency of a thick paste. Some of the pigments had a creamy, fluid consistency. I had the full set of pigments purchased in addition to the kit, so I tried them. They are great - rich pigment, good consistency, smoothly incorporates into the compound.The kit comes with a finishing wax. There is no information, however, as to the type of wax or application. I emailed Jdiction in inquiry about sealant recommendations, but they never replied (after sending 2 messages).If someone has resin casting supplies, the single bag of Resincrete would probably suffice. The starter kit would be good for anyone who has no casting supplies.If Jdiction’s “customer service” had responded to one of my email inquiries, I would have given 5+ stars.

Update after mixing and pouring into molds I have noticed the round mold is damaged on the inside of it. This is due to how the molds were packaged. It has indentions in it, and after pulling it out of mold the inside isn’t level.The instructions wasn’t in the package. I had to find a video from Steve McDonald to see what measurements were. The curing time is Great when you are wanting to finish and move to next project. The inks done great marble effects. Color was great, great value for money, Durability seems to be great. The molds function great.

Very fast acting, easy to use and you get a lot for the price. The durability isn't the best but still amazing

On my goodness Resin Crete is so fun and the products are stunning. It is easy to mold and you get a great satisfaction of seeing your duct in 30 minutes. Love the kit it had everything I needed to get started at a very reasonable price. The only other thing you may need is a kitchen scale which I purchased very resonalbly here on Amazon.

I got it to experiment with. Very easy to work with.
