£22.00
Eli-Chem Aqua Cast Black is a water-activated, eco-friendly casting compound designed for artists, designers, and makers who want bold results with a minimal environmental footprint. Ideal for creating decorative objects, homeware, and sculptural pieces, this high-detail, matte black compound offers a smooth, modern finish straight out of the mold. Made from mineral powder and water-based polymer, it’s biodegradable, non-toxic, and easy to use for both small crafts and larger design projects.
Features and Benefits
• Deep Matte Black Finish: Rich, opaque tone straight from the mold—no additional pigment needed.
• Eco-Friendly Composition: Water-based, solvent-free, biodegradable, and non-toxic.
• Highly Pigmentable: Can be tinted with water-based pigments, acrylic inks, or pearlescent powders.
• Smooth Surface & Detail: Excellent reproduction of fine textures and mold details.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for coasters, planters, sculptures, candle holders, furniture accents, and more.
• Durable & UV Resistant: High surface hardness and resistance to fading or discolouration over time.
• Quick Setting: Cures within 60–90 minutes, allowing for rapid production and handling.
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.

Real professionals who keep their word
My order arrived with the box opened and products missing. I contacted the store by email and they responded very quickly. They called me personally and assured me the missing items would arrive the next day, along with a small gift as compensation.

Cheapest paint store
Cheapest paint store I've found. Two free cans when you order over £40, crazy deals on pens at the moment. Every time I order they pack in a fredo too, which gets me excited not going to lie.

So fast! 20 hours to ship a 20kg package!
Ten out of Ten! All present and correct and a couple of free cans and stickers and the paint was delivered barely 20 hours after the order was made. What more could you ask for?

So much better than elsewhere
So much better than the main competitor (you know the ones). Always get my paint on time (unlike the competitor who take a week to ship it out sometimes). Alfreshco Dave is the man!
