The Hybrid Resin Making System

A two-part casting system made from a mineral-based powder and a water-based polymer liquid. Use it for decorative trays, vessels, homeware and craft objects, with pigments and finishes for solid colors, gradients, marble, terrazzo and metallic effects.

Mix 3 parts powder to 1 part liquid by weight — for example, 300 g powder with 100 g liquid. Shake the liquid thoroughly before measuring, then mix the powder, liquid and colorant thoroughly. Start with a small test batch before making larger quantities.

Start with the 3:1 powder-to-liquid ratio. For complex or highly detailed molds, the product sheet allows 3–5% more liquid than the base amount. For simple, easy-to-pour shapes where strength is the priority, it allows 3–9% less liquid than the base amount. Test a small batch before production.

The mixing instructions give an initial set of approximately 5 minutes and a demolding time of around 15–20 minutes. Start with a small batch to check the material and result before moving into repeat production.

Inaccurate proportions can leave a piece soft, fragile, uncured or powdery on the surface. Check that you measured by weight, shook the liquid before use and mixed all components thoroughly. Insufficient mixing can also cause color spots, bubbles or uneven curing.

Sealing is recommended. Unsealed surfaces can absorb water or oil, stain and scratch more easily. The cured surface can be sanded, polished, painted, sealed, varnished or waxed to create the finish you want.

It is a decorative craft material and is not recommended for direct food contact. The product sheet calls for a professional food-contact-safe sealer for any such use; the finished application must also be separately validated. The SDSs and chemical test reports below are not food-contact approvals.

The product sheet describes the system as water-based and low odor. The powder SDS describes the powder as odorless, while the liquid SDS records a slightly pungent odor. Work in a well-ventilated area.

Avoid breathing powder dust and avoid eye contact. Work with good ventilation and follow the relevant component SDS for protective equipment. The powder SDS recommends eye protection where dust may be generated, protective gloves and suitable clothing, with suitable particulate respiratory protection where ventilation is inadequate or exposure limits may be exceeded.

Do not pour leftover material or cleaning wastewater down the drain — it may harden and block pipes. Keep the powder and liquid out of drains and waterways, and follow the disposal guidance in their SDSs.

Keep the powder tightly sealed and dry, and recap the liquid promptly after use. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at 5–35°C, away from direct sunlight, high temperatures and freezing. Shake the liquid thoroughly if slight sediment appears after storage.

Children should use this craft material only under adult supervision. It is not recommended for children under 3 years old. Do not swallow it or allow direct contact with food; the powder SDS does not recommend children's toy uses unless separately validated.
