Cast resin container with lid
#v16953
Cast a cute little container with lid for storing jewellery or trinkets. Use our strong resin casting mix for the casting process. Mix the casting powder with water, stir until it forms a uniform paste and mix in the paint using circular movements to create a beautiful marbling effect. Allow to harden for 2-3 hours. A lovely dove design can also be created on the lid using self-adhesive EVA foam.

"Fill the lid, leaving around 1-2 mm of space from the edge. To prevent air bubbles from forming, lift the mould slightly from the bottom and then drop it again. Repeat several times for approx. 2–3 min. Air bubbles appear as small chips in the finished casting.
Tip: If there are cracks/holes in the finished casting, you can fill them with a new mixture of resin. After it has hardened, sand the crack/hole to make it smooth and even."
