JDiction ResinCrete, 1000G Water-Based Eco-Friendly Formula, 20-30 Minutes Demold Fast Curing Eco Casting for Beginners, Mineral Casting Powder, Easy Mix for DIY Home Art

I absolutely love it! It’s very easy to work with and results in a great final product. So long as you start with a clear open work area (because you will need to move things around as you go) follow directions, and work quickly, you will finish with a great item.Pros:*30 minute demold is legit. The only problem you might have is if there are tiny thin side details, they have a tendency to break off so leaving those in the mold longer would be best.*Bubbles are Not a problem. The mixture is thin, like water, so it really fills all those tiny details.*It stamps very well with ink. Can be sanded and painted as well.*It has a very different feel than resin. It’s very sturdy and substantial, more like a ceramic, and heavy.*Tiny little details and the spaces around lettering/numbers, no problem! Fills them all in with practically no bubble-gaps in the letters. (See pic for reference.)*Customer service is On Point! I also ordered the 10pk colorants made specifically for ResinCrete and one of the jars kept clogging and wasn’t usable. Within 24 hrs of contacting their customer service, there’s an entire replacement 10pk box in the mail.Cons:*Getting consistent color is nearly impossible from batch to batch. Make 3 batches, add same amount of color, get 3 somewhat different shades.*Hope you like Pastel. The base product is white and you are limited on how much colorant you can add before you risk curing issues, so everything will be a pastel shade.*If you do not mix the color in very thoroughly, the area of the product that touches the mold will cure darker than the rest. This could be an added bonus if that’s the look you are going for.*Don’t waste your time or money adding Mica to this product or to the molds before pouring it. The Mica dulls out completely when mixed in and putting it on the molds is useless because it just wipes off once demolded.*Getting the measurements down for how much you need to make to fill your molds is tricky and if you have to pour in different batches, there’s the risk of bubbles at the joining lines, not to mention the color matching issue previously stated. There’s no time to blend the lines when you pour the second batch because the first will have set a bit already.Overall, I’m completely thrilled with this product and the company.

This is by far my favorite eco resin. So, easy to use and the items come out a wonderful quality, so smooth. Good prep time. Doesn't harden really fast, easy to work with and easy to add, add-ins. It is alittle pricey for not a lot of product. So, I feel like I run out quickly and have to re-buy often. But, my safety while using resin is #1 to me. I will continue to be a customer.

This works great. Very easy to use! I tried the competitor and came back to ResinCrete because it's just so much easier to use.

This is some of the best eco-resin on the market. It is so easy to use and very forgiving if you don't have access to scales for exact measuring. It easily flows into intricate molds with minimal bubbles and you can demold within an hour, depending on intricacy of the mold. Takes color very easily and has no odor

EcoResin, Jezmonite, PerfectCast, EcoCrete... The list of 10-powder-to-3-water-by-weight goes on and on. Distinguished from Plaster of Paris by the use of some binder unknown to me. but which substantially improves strength (though it's still prone to brittle fracture). There are 3 stages of curing for this stuff. First, after mixing it's a strongly thixotropic liquid. (hence, tapping and shaking molds are essential to getting bubbles out). For thin, flat castings, where it will tend not to flow to the edges of the mold, the shape isn't great for shaking and tapping, but if you gently hold a spatula or spoon against the surface and vibrate that hand, the whole mass will fluidize and self-level. After a fairly short time, it begins to set up, and at this time it starts to become warm (unclear if this is a hydration reaction, an exothermic polymerization reaction in the binder, or some of each). At the end of this phase, it will cool off, but it will still feel quite damp; it's still quite fragile. With the reaction over, and water evaporating from the casting, it becomes cool to the touch and damp during the final phase of the apparent cure. While it is possible to demold while it's still damp (and with some mold shapes you may have to because it could never hope to shed that water through the narrow neck), one must be very careful. Once it is fully dry, it has most of it's final strength, and it no longer needs special handling, you can paint it with acryllic paint, sand it, etc. You can also brush mica pigment on the inside of the mold and get a decent (not great) finish (in this case, plan to cover with at least clear acrylic, and be super careful while it's still wet, as the pigment can rub off easily.The work time is **short** - you mix that mica pigment with the powder ahead of time (and don't expect much out of mixed mica, it kinda sucks here), along with any other additives (fibrous strengtheners definitely work, though not as magically well as in epoxy). Heat resistance without catastrophic failure is incredible - though once heated beyond a certain temperature, it loses strength. This makes it suitable for ashtrays and candle holders, where epoxy would not be. Epoxy can be poured on top of this stuff and will stick decently (or excellently if you sprinkly this stuff with chopped glass or aramid fiber).There's just one big problems I have with EcoResin - and it really has nothing to do with the resin itself. This stuff is a RIPOFF. You don't even need to look off Amazon to find PerfectCast with the same FBA delivery. PerfectCast is to the best that I can tell identical (likely same for any plaster like thing with 10:3 ratio). For 20% less than this 1 kilo bag, you can get 4 lbs (1.8 kg) of perfect cast, with amazon shipping. So yeah, this is great stuff, but you can get it for less under other brand names. It has been claimed that it can be had for $8/4lb if you know where to go (but I don't). Either way, this price is at least twice as high as it could be.

If I were stranded on a small desert island with only one ecoresin, it would be this one. It mixes the best, colors the best, pours the best and has the best finish in my opinion. I haven’t tried all of them, but several. This is my go to.

I love how easily this is to mix and how quickly it sets up. It takes a bit to perfect colors so be prepared to waste some product if you are looking to create a specific color, but that is on you. Be sure to have all of your molds ready to go and have a scale that measures grams. The mixture must be precise. Overall it is great.
