How to use  

Adding color
Use any water-based pigment resi-Tint acrylic inks, acrylic paints or powdered tempura paints. Any solid can be added (sand, mica, quartzite, dried shards of hydroflow etc).

When using the whole kit
Add color to the hydroflow activator fluid before adding the powder. Add small amounts at a time and mix in stages until you have achieved a lump-free consistency

When using part of the kit
Pour the desired amount of hydroflow activator fluid into your mixing container. Add color to the hydroflow activator fluid before adding the powder. Add 2.5 times the amount of powder to the fluid activator E.g. if you started with 100ml (100g) activator fluid then you should add 250g powder. 2.5:1 is the default mixing ratio, but this is not set in stone. You can adapt the ratio with less or more powder to obtain a runnier or thicker consistency to suit the application. If the mixture is too viscous and thick for your application simply add a little water (5-10% by weight), the activator is a water based emulsion and can be extended and diluted further to make it more fluid.

Once you have mixed to a creamy consistency you can top up the pigment addition to achieve a stronger color shade.

Application

Immediately pour into your mold and agitate to clear trapped air bubbles. Allow to harden in 20-40 minutes. The mold will feel warm, this is normal. Demold after 1-2 hrs.
