A1Creatives handleiding
A1Creatives is a ready-to-use 2- or 3-component system, consisting of a mineral powder, a water-based liquid and in a number of variants a color powder. These connect in such a way that a strong material is created, with a varying appearance.
A1Creatives is water-based, easy to use and contains no solvents. A1Creatives has been developed to cast in a (silicone) mold, creating an imprint of this mold, with all the fine details.
A1Creatives consists of:
- 100 grams of A1Creatives Liquid
- 200 – 350 gram A1Creatives Powder
The mixing ratio of A1Creatives varies per A1Creatives version and is indicated on the jars. Make sure all parts are ready before mixing the Liquid and Powder. If necessary, use a scale.
Instructions for weighing and mixing A1Creatives:
- Determine the amount of A1Creatives needed. If necessary, multiple sets of A1Creatives can be merged.
- Shake the Liquid well before use and pour 1 part Liquid (by weight) into a mixing cup.
- Pour 2 to 3.5 parts Powder (by weight) into the same mixing cup.
- Mix the Liquid and Powder until an even mix is formed and all lumps have disappeared. This normally takes between 30 and 60 seconds.
Instructions for casting A1Creatives in a mold:
- After mixing A1Creatives, pour about half of the mixture into the mold and shake or tap the sides of the mold to remove any trapped air. For complex molds, we recommend turning the mold with the mixture a few times, in order to get a thin layer of the mixture in the entire mold and to prevent air entrapment. An alternative is to apply a first layer of the mixture in the mold with a brush.
- Then fill the mold with the rest of the mixture.
- Wait between 20 and 60 minutes for A1Creatives to cure. Use the remainder of the mixture in the mixing cup to determine if the mixture has hardened sufficiently. Leave fragile objects in the mold longer (several hours) if necessary.
- Los het A1Creatives object uit de mal.
- Het is mogelijk dat net geloste A1Creatives objecten vocht achterlaten op het oppervlak, aangezien het uithardingsproces nog een aantal uren zal voortduren.

Clean
- Protect your clothes while mixing, as A1Creatives also has excellent adhesion on clothes.
- If necessary, hands can be cleaned with soap and water.
- Any residue in the mixing cup can be removed after curing by breaking the remainder of the A1Creatives.
- Do not pour A1Creatives that have not yet hardened into the sink, as the curing process also continues under water and the drain can become clogged.
- Remnants of A1Creatives can be crushed and then used as filler for new A1Creatives projects.
