PLEASE NOTE Aqua Cast^® BLACK has an intense pigment and we strongly recommend wearing gloves and protecting clothing during casting and demoulding. The fine particle size of the powder will leave stains on hands and under fingernails etc. It is advisable to wear gloves and protect your work surfaces to prevent staining. Any residue on the skin or work surfaces can be cleaned with warm water and soap/washing up liquid or cleaning wipes.

If the inside of moulds has a black residue after demoulding, these can also be cleaned using warm water and dishwasher liquid or cleaning wipes.

Any solid can be added, sand, mica, quartzite, dried shards of Aqua Cast^® BLACK etc. in small amounts. Excess solids addition weakens the cured strength and can result in the article breaking when being demoulded.
