Precision in Mixing and Application

Achieving optimal results starts with proper mixing techniques. To ensure you get the best quality castings, we recommend using potable water with temperatures between 70 °F and 100 °F. Pay special attention to the water-to-cement ratio, as it significantly influences the strength and density of the final product. Simple steps in the mixing process can lead to a more uniform cast, enhancing the overall quality of your work. Once mixed, pouring Hydrocal® White requires care to prevent air pockets and achieve a smooth finish.

Efficient Drying Process for Optimal Strength

After pouring your Hydrocal® White Gypsum Cement, the drying phase is critical for achieving maximum physical properties. Our recommended method includes rapid air circulation and balanced temperatures in drying environments, ensuring your casts dry uniformly without thermal shock. Investing in a well-managed drying process helps you achieve a high-quality finish that reflects your artistic intent. With the right conditions, your casts will reach their full potential in strength and durability.

For optimal performance, it's essential to store Hydrocal® White Gypsum Cement correctly. Keep it in a stable indoor environment with controlled temperature and humidity. This product complies with all safety regulations concerning hazardous art materials, so you can craft with peace of mind. Proper handling and adherence to the storage guidelines will extend the lifespan of your materials, allowing you to craft beautiful pieces over time. Remember to use the cement within six months of the manufacturing date for the best results.
