Create a porcelain-look tray with Aqua Resin
Have you ever wanted to create an elegant creation, as smooth as porcelain, but made with safe and natural materials? In this article, I'll show you how to make a handmade porcelain-effect tray, perfect for decorating your home or making a special gift.
Why choose Aqua Resin
Aqua Resin It's a natural, water-based, white, powdered alpha chalk, completely non-toxic and safe even for beginners. It doesn't require protective gear like gloves or masks, and can be used safely even on children.
Among its main features:
-
Ultra smooth and bright porcelain-like effect
-
Rapid curing in about 30 minutes
-
Ease of coloring with pigments or decoration with glitter
-
Perfect compatibility with silicone molds (which you can also make yourself with silicone rubber)
What do you need?
-
Cold water or Aqua Shield for a waterproof and more resistant effect
-
An oval mold ( or one made by yourself with silicone rubber )
-
Optional pigments for color effects
-
A bowl and a stirring stick
Procedure
1. Prepare the mix
Mix 100g of Aqua Resin with 30g of cold water (or with Aqua Shield for an even shinier, more waterproof finish). Work the mixture until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
2. Pour into the mold
Pour the mixture slowly into the silicone mold. If you want to embellish it, you can sprinkle glitter, pigment, or gold leaf directly into the mold before pouring.
3. Wait for it to harden
Let it rest for about 30 minutes. Then carefully remove the tray: it will be solid and ready to use.
4. Customize
You can leave it as is for a minimalist effect or paint it, add decorative details or a protective finish for an even more personal result.
Creative advice
If you want a marbled effect, pour two different colors into the mixture and mix lightly with a stick.
For a perfect finish, you can lightly sand the surface once it has dried.
