Topic Subject : RE: A new topic has been added-Re: Cultured Marble

You can purchase our optically clear and UV protected AquaClear Resin. It is
a 1 to 1 mix ratio. Measure out equal parts, then measure out our marble
powder so that you have 1/3 part A 1/3 part B and 1/3 marble powder. Mix
half the marble powder into Part A of the clear resin and the other half
into Part B of the resin. Mix thoroughly then combine Part A with Part B. It
doesn't matter the sequence. Mix well and then pour into your mold.

After three hours you can demold. You will need to buff the surface of your
new casting using 0000 steel wool, then a lambs wool buffer and wax.

It is as simple as that to create a faux marble piece.

Warmest regards

Ed McCormick

------------Silica-Free & Oh So GREEN------->

NEW! MoldGel SILFREE. A revolutionary formula.
Made with all food-grade ingredients. It nourishes
the earth when discarded. 3-to-1 mix ratio yields
twice the volume as those 1-to-1 brands. Delayed
shrinkage for delayed casting - so creamy smooth, too.

Re: Cultured Marble:--
Clay, I have used clear resins, both polyurethane and polyester, mixed with
powdered marble and limestone with good results. I would be glad to fill you
in but would rather talk than type. My studio number number is (303)321-1074
and cell is (720)971-0824. I will be working on a project away from my
studio mostly tomorrow but try to call me and I will try to call you. I will
send you a photo of a head casting with a direct email. Dave
