Does this resin get stuck on the casting molds and the measuring cups or do I have to buy the spray to lift the castings from the molds?

The resin has never stuck to any of my molds, I use silicone molds. It will stick to the measuring cups, if u want to reuse them u would have to wipe hem down immediately after you finish pouring, using de molding spray girl easy release depends on your mold not the resin...hopefully I was able to help you!

This would be enough for 2 to 3 castings, I'm guessing you have some sort of casting material (plaster of paris,or latex would be a couple of good options,the latex you might get more than one pour to that mold) for your mold, as you cannot use this on skin

Yes - you can make nice casts of items with good detail and then use another medium to build - I used green stuff myself. On point to mention - I tried this with resin plastics and the heat created by the plastic destroyed the mold - I did get a decent copy. I just melted the instant mold and used it again with no real harm. Very nice to those one off molds you may need.

I actually don't use it for pouring into mold type of work, but I have seeing and read people do this to make lifecast "masks" out of molds. Maybe this tutorial might be of help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLD3uA9UEOM

I tried it with some little cups and it was hard to get it out, but I'm not sure on Playdoh molds.

Yes you do. It's pretty cheap. Just spray on and let dry before pouring resin in. If the mold release spray isn't used the dried resin won't come out and if forced can crack. Hope this helps!

I did use a mold release spray, and they were still difficult to remove at times. I've never worked with molds before though, so I don't have any experience to compare it with.

If you've made your mold I would suggest finding out how much water it holds, then estimating that volume compared to the kit. I have embedded scrap to stretch the casting resin volume, but it will show unless a partial, cured pour keeps the scrap from touching outer surfaces.

No you only use a torch to get bubbles out. Use very quickly..but not to dry resin.

I've been using the resin to cast from molds about 1/16" to 2" deep. It actually works better on thicker pieces, so give it a try.

I have used this resin in silicone molds and plastic containers and jewelry molds and added confetti and decorations ie charms, stickers, sprinkles etc. I don't quite understand how you work with canvas mixed media, or what you would pour it into to mold the shape, but the resin is excellent quality. It works best when the room temp is a tad warm, you should open a window for ventilation. Be very careful to mix EQUAL parts stir slowly ! and for about 5 minutes scraping the sides, wooden popsicles sticks and plastic colored shot glasses from the dollar store work great to stir the resin, as you have to constantly throw them away after mixing so they are affordable and economical. Use wax paper for your work area, the resin can damage furniture or counter top. If there are any bubble after you pour simply take a straw and blow gently thru it over the resin and they will be gone. Hope this helps. I have used this resin for quite a long time with great results. I usually buy it at my local craft store with the 50 percent off coupon and it is really economical, not sure I can mention the name of said craft store, but you can buy plenty with the 50 % off, I do it weekly and sometimes print 2 and take a friend and print 2 more and visit another store. EasyCast also sells jewelry molds that I have used for making crafts ( I own a business) with this resin instead of jewelry, they are a bit hard to get out of plastic molds, you DO NOT need to buy mold release. It takes 24 hours for the resin to dry don't touch it and as mentioned before be careful to mix equal parts. If you put your mold in the freezer for 10 min or so the shapes pop right out. Hope this helps. PS do not attempt to buy candy molds for this resin the results will be very disappointing. Use silicone molds or jewelry molds. As stated jewelry molds are a lot harder to get the region out of but 10 min in the freezer and they pop out.

No. Its really soft and doesn't stick to anything. You still might want to spray the castings with Crystal clear before applying the silicone

Don't think this is good idea because even mixing a small amount (1/2oz) could produce heat reaction..You should always use the correct harder with the correct resin.. They are all different..

I have not found this on my molds. They sometimes have a little whitish tint as if they have dried out. I just wash it off. I use mine for chocolates truffles.

Must be put in a cool dry place. Make sure exact equal parts are mixed it's important or it won't harden. If mix properly it is usually 24 hours. I put my creations on a tray with a paper towel (you don't want to get this resin on anything it will ruin it) and place in my micro wave over night, just remember not to turn it on. The reason why is if you have animals or children or anything falls on the resin or touches it you won't get a perfect product.

I have two connected together to decrease the time to withdraw the air to do resin casting but it can get below -30. So far for the price this will be your best buy that I can find.

I have done so. Just be careful when you are spraying it. Both the Mold Armor containers I bought leaked spray around the handle. I love the product, but I have started to put it in other spray bottles to use it.
