To calculate your BASE powder amount, simply multiply the volume of your liquid by 3.
It is essential to use accurate scales and follow instructions, to ensure the strength and cure time of SETINSTONE®
Studio conditions should be warm, dry, and out of direct sunlight.
**Humidity may affect performance and cure time.
Use your silicone molds to cast beautiful art pieces. The same molds that you use for resin projects can also be used for SETINSTONE!
The standard mix ratio is 1 part water by 3 parts SETINSTONE® powder by WEIGHT.
Add powder to water slowly.
Avoid dust inhalation.
Mix completely until mixture is smooth and free of clumps.
Adding pigments will create beautiful, colorful, one of a kind pieces.

Wait approximately 90 minutes or until 100% cold to the touch.
**Thicker pices may need more time.
Demold and place piece on a drying rack to allow air circulation.
Let cure for least 24 hours before sealing
Use a smooth grit sandpaper and sand gently.
Wet sanding is recomended.
Sand in circular motion.
Seal with our gloss sealer or wax polish.
To avoid streaks - Spread the gloss using a slightly damp sponge or soft bristle brush to coat the surface.
Once the first coat is absorbed and dry, you can go in with a second.
More coats will need less product because the first layer will soak into the SETINSTONE a bit.
- SETINSTONE powder is a one part casting medium - you just add water.
The strengthening polymer is a dry ingredient that’s already incorporated into our formula.
- Longer work time means more time to add color
- You can leave your project in the mold overnight without worries of water marks
- Humidity, and size of cast will affect curing time.
* Pro Tip - Leaving the cast longer will make sure the cure strengthens before de-molding intricate or deep molds. Wait until completely dry to the touch before de-molding.
- Always waiting until your project is completely cured before sanding will assure a smooth finish.
