How to use

Unpack the components and read the instruction leaflet thoroughly before beginning. Prepare a clean, flat work surface protected from spills and ensure adequate ventilation. Mix and pour the casting material into the provided molds according to the instructions, observe recommended working and curing times, then remove the cured pieces carefully. Prepare paints and brushes; sand or smooth cast pieces lightly if recommended, then apply paint in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before adding details or additional coats. Finish painted pieces only after full drying to avoid smudging.

Recommendations

Work in a well-ventilated area and protect clothing and surfaces. Use gloves if advised by the included instructions when handling casting compounds. For best results, apply multiple thin paint layers rather than a single thick coat and allow sufficient drying time between layers. Store leftover materials according to the manufacturer’s guidance and display finished pieces in a dry indoor environment.
