CONRÈ Casting Mix "Dunes" is for anyone who wants to cast their own concrete interior pieces: trays for jewellery and small items, candle holders, decorative bowls. Cast pieces are strong, heavy, light sandy in tone with a natural mineral texture.

Because the colour is already in the mix, you can scoop it by eye and mix with water – no need to weigh pigments separately. Just keep the water ratio (290–330 g of water per 1 kg). If you want a different shade, you can tint it further with pigments and experiment.

How many pieces will you get?

Examples – pieces we cast ourselves and how many you get from one bag.

Wavy tray (~440 g) From 1 kg: ~2 pcs From 10 kg: ~20–22 pcs	Ribbed bowl (~460 g) From 1 kg: ~2 pcs From 10 kg: ~20 pcs
Candle holder (~300 g) From 1 kg: ~3 pcs From 10 kg: ~30 pcs	Thick-walled bowl (~1.3 kg) From 1 kg: not enough From 10 kg: ~7–8 pcs

The exact yield will depend on the moulds you use.

How to use

1. Add 290–330 g (ml) of water per 1 kg of mix. Start with less and add more if needed.
2. Mix thoroughly with a whisk or mixer until smooth.
3. Pour into moulds within 30 min. Tap the mould gently to release air bubbles.
4. Demould no earlier than after 12 h (depends on temperature and water amount).
5. Let the piece dry for a couple of hours, then gently smooth the edges with fine sandpaper. It keeps curing for several days.
6. (Optional) Leave uncoated and wipe with a soft cloth, or coat with varnish or decorative beeswax – test on a sample first.

Important

• Cast pieces are interior details for dry use – not suitable for prolonged contact with water.
• Thin pieces may break if dropped. The mix is intended for small-format pieces – for thin, larger-format pieces we recommend additional reinforcement.
• Contains cement and is alkaline – irritating to skin and eyes when wet. When mixing, wear a respirator, safety goggles and gloves. Keep out of reach of children.
• Store in a dry place in a closed bag.

Composition
