How to Use

Mix Aqua Cast Black in a 10:3.5 ratio by volume (powder to water) using a clean mixing cup. Stir slowly for 2–3 minutes, ensuring all material is blended smoothly with no lumps. Once a creamy consistency is achieved, pour into your prepared mold. Work within 10–20 minutes, as the mixture will begin to thicken. The compound will heat slightly as it cures. After 1–2 hours, demold your piece and allow it to cool. Finish with a clear resin or seal with Hydroflow for extra protection and visual enhancement.
