“Coasters” – Creative Kit with Mineral Resin and Silicone Mould

How to use your Naturesin kit Create beautiful colourful castings with a smooth matte finish using Naturesin and your silicone mould.Mixing ratio: 100:27 by weightFor every 100g of Naturesin powder, use 27g of water.Before you startProtect your work surface with a plastic tarp or old newspapers.Make sure the silicone mould is clean and dry.Prepare all materials in advance, including cups, dyes, water and a scale.Basic methodUsing a scale, weigh Naturesin powder and water in the ratio of 100:27 by weight.Slowly add the powder to the water, mixing constantly and thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy and homogeneous.Work steadily — you have around 10 minutes before the mixture begins to set.Divide the mixture into several cups or containers.Add a few drops of dye to each container and mix well to create your desired shades.Pour the different colours into various areas of the silicone mould for a unique marbled effect.If you notice air bubbles, gently tap or shake the mould so the bubbles rise to the surface.Leave the casting to harden for 40–60 minutes.After about 1 hour, remove your piece from the mould.Your creation will continue to harden over the next 4–8 hours. Please note: when using dyes, curing time may sometimes be slightly longer.Alternative creative methodsLayered effectMix a small portion of Naturesin using the same 100:27 ratio.Add your chosen colour and apply it to the mould in drops, splashes or stripes.Leave this first layer to harden for 30–40 minutes.Then prepare a second mixture in a contrasting colour and fill the mould for a bold layered finish.Mosaic effectFill the mould completely with a coloured Naturesin mixture and allow it to cure fully.Remove the piece from the mould and carefully break it into small fragments.Place the fragments back into the mould and fill the gaps with a fresh mixture in a different colour.This creates a striking mosaic-style result.Helpful tipsAlways measure accurately for the best results.Mix thoroughly, but avoid whipping in too much air.Prepare your colours quickly before the mixture starts to set.If needed, allow extra curing time for a harder finish.
