How to Use Gypsum Fine Casting Powder:

Prepare the Mold:
Choose a silicone mold for trays or candle holders.
Ensure the mold is clean and dry before use.

Mixing:
Measure the powder and water by weight (typically a 2:1 ratio of powder to water).
Slowly add the powder to water, stirring gently to avoid air bubbles.
Mix until a smooth, lump-free consistency is achieved.

Colourants:
Enhance your creations by using one of our Gypsum Pigments or blending multiple shades to achieve your perfect color. For unique effects, try adding a few drops or streaks of pigment on top of your mixture before pouring—this can create stunning marble or splatter patterns. For a fully colored result, mix the pigment thoroughly with the gypsum powder after adding water.

Use water based pigments and colourants.

Pouring:
Pour the mixture into the prepared mold.
Tap the mold gently to release trapped air bubbles.

Setting:
Allow the gypsum to set fully (usually 20-30 minutes, but may vary).
Avoid disturbing the mold during curing.

Demolding:
Gently remove the hardened piece from the mold.
Allow it to air-dry for 24-48 hours for complete curing.

Finishing:
Sand the edges for a smooth finish if desired.
Seal with a waterproof sealant if using the tray for wet items.
