Review: I changed my mind! - Originally, I had a not so good review of this product. I guess I was getting all the ratios wrong and/or not letting things cure long enough. I also saw that you should add the product to the water, not water to the product, which may have changed things some. Anyway, I love the smooth surface and durability of my finished tray! To make it easy on myself, I weighed out the product, then in a separate bowl that I would do the actual mixing, I weighed out the water (xx grams product ÷ 1.5 = xx grams of water). I then slowly added the product to the bowl while stirring with the beater attachment from my hand mixer (which I never used for food and never will). I let the mixture set in the mold for like 2 hours and it came out beautifully. Sorry for the bad review the first time, I'll be using this as a cheaper alternative to resincrete for items I plan on painting or hydro dipping.

As for what I use it for, I mix it a bit thicker as I use it for terrain making. In a mixing cup, I add the powder, a bit of sawdust, some coloring and then the water. I'll either add more water if too thick or more power if too thin.
