It can be easily coloured with a dry iron oxide-based pigment. This gypsum is easy to use and contains no harmful substances. It is ideal for casting without the need for a vibrating table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ecupstone2.hastastudio.com\/en\/produkt\/polymer-gypsum-snowcast-terrazzo\/\">SnowCast polymer gypsum (Lastryko<\/a>):<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Characteristics:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SnowCast gypsum (Lastryko)Lastryko is a ready-mixed gypsum compound developed specifically for casting in Terrazzo-Lastryko or Marble. Although it can be successfully used for solid-coloured casts, its real advantage is that it can be coloured with liquid pigments, opening up unlimited colour possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Szybki czas utwardzania (50-70 minut)<br>&#8211; Doskona\u0142a p\u0142ynno\u015b\u0107<br>&#8211; G\u0142adka powierzchnia odlewu<br>&#8211; Doskona\u0142e odwzorowanie drobnych element\u00f3w<br>&#8211; Kolor: \u015bnie\u017cno-bia\u0142y<br>The main difference between these gypsums is your expectations from the end result, as well as the colour of the gypsum and how it is coloured. Remember that when colouring gypsum with dry pigment, you need to add it to the dry gypsum and mix it thoroughly, while liquid pigments are added to the already mixed mixture, keeping to the proportions recommended for the specific gypsum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ecupstone2.hastastudio.com\/en\/produkt\/polymeric-gypsum-a-stone-bicomponent\/\">A-STONE polymer gypsum<\/a>:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Characteristics:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; innowacyjny produkt, \u0142\u0105cz\u0105cy gips wysokowytrzyma\u0142o\u015bciowy z \u017cywic\u0105 akrylow\u0105.<br>&#8211; ekologiczny<br>&#8211; trudnozapalny<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Du\u017c\u0105 zalet\u0105 gipsu polimerowego A-STONE &#8211; jest mo\u017cliwo\u015b\u0107 uzyskania mocnych element\u00f3w o niskiej wadze, wykorzystuj\u0105c technik\u0119 laminacji.

You can dry it by the radiator for about 12 hours or 48 hours at 23\u00b0C. You can find the technique for applying the varnish in the video below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-obs-uga-osadzania wp-block-embed-obs-uga-osadzania wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"e-cupstone polymer plaster varnish.

One coat of varnish is sufficient on the exterior. Apply it so that the brush goes over the surface only once, paying attention to the technique shown in the video above.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, all the polymer gypsums converted are suitable for casting candle containers, the priority criterion for selection is the desired end result. HandiCast Polymer Gypsum (65MPa) will work well if you want a uniform colour, while SnowCast Gypsum (Lastryko) will work best for the Terrazzo-Lastryko or marble technique. A-STONE plaster, on the other hand, is suitable for any of the above-calculated techniques. In addition to A-STONE gypsum, there is a wider choice of colours for colouring it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Properly protecting the product with varnish, is key to protecting the casting from wax absorption, thus affecting the durability and aesthetics of the final product.
