Moulded decorative bowls

Moulding decorative bowls with Raysin

These instructions show you how to create simple yet elegant decorative objects using the popular casting powders Raysin 100 and Raysin 200 and silicone moulds.

The difference between Raysin 100 & 200 briefly explained:

Raysin 100 is intended for smaller objects and has a lower strength. Raysin 200, on the other hand, has a higher strength and is therefore suitable for larger moulding projects.

1. preparation of the casting compound
Mix the selected Raysin powder with water to form a lump-free, creamy mixture. No powder residue should remain at the bottom - mix thoroughly!

You will need the following quantities of casting moulds for our idea:
Silicone casting mould "Stick candle holder Fun": approx. 3 heaped tablespoons
Silicone casting mould "Stick candle holder Chic": approx. 4 heaped tablespoons
Silicone casting mould "Tin with lid", small: approx. 2 heaped tablespoons
Silicone casting mould "Tin with lid", large: approx. 8 heaped tablespoons
Silicone casting mould "Round coaster", 18.5 cm: approx. 5 heaped tablespoons

2. pouring the moulds
Carefully pour the finished mixture into the silicone mould. To achieve an even distribution and avoid air bubbles, tap the mould gently on a firm surface.

3. drying and demoulding time
Demould the castings after approx. 1 hour. Allow them to dry completely in the air to achieve optimum strength. Rough edges can simply be smoothed with sandpaper.

4. combination of castings
Glue the "Fun stick candle holder" in the centre of the "Round coaster" and place the "Chic stick candle holder" on top. Alternatively, you can glue the small "Tin with lid" onto the larger version.
