Review on πŸ§ͺ Smooth-Cast 300 Liquid Plastic Compound - Trial Unit: Perfect for Testing and Trial Runs by Carla Anderson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Follow directions carefully, work quickly

I used this to make sclera for doll eyes. This resin gives me the brilliant white base I need. Since I make small pieces that are just over 1/2 inch wide, I mixed up small batches by measuring with a silicone teaspoon. Measuring accurately with the markings on your mixing/pour cup is extremely difficult and I wasted my first impression on that. .I now use the plastic cup that came with the cough syrup - the flat bottom is important! I stir with the handle of a plastic fork. I had no problems with blisters. Be sure to water as soon as you see the first sign of white when mixing, or it will set before you can water. Put on nitrile gloves. I lay down a sheet of glass as a work area - you don't want this on your skin or any other surface you care about. I will be coating the finished eyes with a UV resistant gloss to minimize yellowing over time. Ultimately, glass doll eyes are almost always cheaper, but I love the creativity of this method.
