Instructions for use of Aqua Cast Texture
Aqua Cast Texture is easy to use. To do this, follow these steps:
- Weigh the desired amount of Aqua Cast Texture powder on a (digital) scale.
- Then weigh the correct amount of water according to the mixing ratio (100:20, 100 grams of powder and 20 ml of water)*.
- Slowly add the powder to the water and mix well for 2-4 minutes until lump-free.
- Immediately pour into your mould and allow to settle, any residual bubbles can be popped by agitating or tapping the mould.
- Allow to harden for 2-3 hours before demoulding.
- Allow to dry for 24-48 hours to reach optimum cured strength.
- To obtain a rough/textured finish you can simply sand the surface with a coarse grade sandpaper or abrasive pad (40, 80, 100 or 120 grit). Wet sanding is particularly effective.
* This mixing ratio is only a guideline, you can adjust it according to the desired thickness or application.
