Mold Mix 6

Post by Nikki ONeill »

I have a couple unopened samples of Zircar's Mold Mix 6, and they are almost rock solid. Has anyone tried to reconstitute this material with a little water and perhaps a blender? According to Zircar, it might not be worth the effort. I want to paint some on a mold made from Zircar sheet material, for a better texture and finish. Thanks.

Thank You Leslie for the wonderfully presented video. Clear, excellent instructions. I want to mention that I took my rock solid sample and immersed it in water for a day and it became workable. Mixing with a hand mixer made it creamy again. I hope the fibers are still in good shape!
