What is the difference between Raysin 100 and 200?

Before you start your moulding project, it is important to choose the right material:

Raysin 100: This material is ideal for smaller objects. It has a lower strength, which makes it ideal for intricate decorations.
Raysin 200: Looking for greater stability for larger projects? Then Raysin 200 is the right choice. It offers the strength required for large moulding projects.

Tips on drying and colour

During the drying time, the surface of Raysin objects may appear slightly greyish. Don't worry, after complete drying your castings will have a bright white colour. Note that products made from Keramin retain their slight greyish tinge.

Step-by-step instructions: From mixing to finishing

Silicone casting mould "tin with lid": approx. 8 heaped tablespoons

Silicone casting mould "tin with lid", large: approx. 8 heaped tablespoons

Silicone casting mould "tin with lid", small: approx. 3 heaped tablespoons

Preparing the mixture

Start by mixing the Raysin powder with water. Make sure to achieve a creamy consistency. Important note: Make sure that no powder settles to the bottom of the mixture and that all lumps are thoroughly dissolved.

Pouring into the mould

Pour the finished mixture evenly into your chosen silicone casting mould. To avoid air pockets and to ensure that the mixture is evenly distributed, gently tap or shake the mould on a flat surface.

Demoulding the castings

After waiting for about an hour, you can remove the castings from the mould. To ensure the best possible strength and durability, be sure to leave them to air dry afterwards.

Surface treatment

Go over any rough edges with sandpaper beforehand to smooth and perfect the surface of your castings.

Decorating the lids

Embellish the lids of the moulded tins by covering them with self-adhesive cork. Draw the outline of the lid on the back of the cork sheet, carefully cut out the shape and stick it to the lid.
