💧 Is Eco Casting Powder Waterproof?
If you’re a resin artist, crafter, or DIY enthusiast, you might be wondering — is Resin Glory Eco Casting Powder waterproof?
The short answer is no. Eco Casting Powder is not waterproof on its own, but it’s easy to seal for water resistance or full waterproofing.
Our Eco Casting Powder is a sustainable, mineral-based casting material designed for smooth pouring, fine details, and low environmental impact. Like most eco-friendly plaster-style materials, it’s slightly porous when cured, which means it can absorb moisture if left unsealed.
That’s why applying a protective finish is key to making your pieces last — especially if they’ll be exposed to water or outdoor conditions.
🛡️ How to Seal Eco Casting Powder
Adding a sealant is quick, simple, and can enhance both the durability and appearance of your cast piece. Here are the best options depending on how you plan to use your creation:
✨ 1. Clear Acrylic Sealer (Spray or Brush-On)
Best for: Indoor decorative pieces, ornaments, wall art, and coasters.
Easy to apply and dries quickly.
Protects against humidity, fingerprints, and dust.
Choose between matte, satin, or glossy finishes.
Apply 2–3 light coats, letting each layer dry completely.
SEO Tip: Using a clear acrylic sealer is one of the easiest ways to make Eco Casting Powder water-resistant without changing its color or texture.
🌦️ 2. Polyurethane Varnish
Best for: Trays, planters, and home décor that may contact moisture.
Adds a tough, durable coating.
Available in water-based (eco-friendlier, low odor) and solvent-based (stronger waterproofing) options.
Provides a subtle shine and strong surface protection.
For best results, ensure your piece is fully dry before applying, and allow 24 hours of curing time after the final coat.
💎 3. Epoxy Resin Coating
Best for: Outdoor use, waterproof trays, vases, and functional items.
Creates a fully waterproof, glass-like seal.
Provides excellent protection against scratches and water.
Ideal for pieces exposed to the elements.
Apply epoxy resin on a clean, dust-free, and completely cured surface for the clearest results.
🕯️ 4. Wax Finish
Best for: Decorative sculptures or indoor display pieces.
Produces a soft, natural matte finish.
Not waterproof, but offers gentle surface protection.
Great for highlighting texture and color.
🧰 Step-by-Step: How to Prepare and Seal Your Piece
Allow your Eco Casting Powder to fully cure (typically 24–48 hours).
Lightly sand with fine-grit sandpaper for smoothness.
Clean off all dust and debris before applying any coating.
Apply your chosen sealer or varnish in thin, even coats.
Allow each coat to dry thoroughly before adding another.
