FloraCraft Floral Accessories Acrylic Water Kit
I have used this numerous times for casting items in molds (silicone molds work best). It is epoxy resin, so in addition to being used to simulate water in a vase with silk flowers, it can be used in casting forms, and can be colored with oil paints, mica colors (beautiful), iron oxide pigments, bronze powders, etc. The main secret to success in getting it to harden properly is to STIR IT LONG ENOUGH before pouring it into your vase or form. I think stirring time in the instructions is two minutes. MAKE SURE you stir for the full instructed time (use a timer if you have one) and then give it an extra minute or two to be sure. Otherwise, you will end up wasting your money with a sticky mess. The resin and catalyst HAVE to be mixed thoroughly in order for the resin to harden. If you follow this procedure, success is pretty much a sure thing. Great product and good price if you need only a small amount of resin. I have had a lot of fun with this product.
