The product came in a completely different package (a bag) with no mixing ratio instructions on it whatsoever! The only thing the bag says is “mix, pour, finish”.
I looked on Activa’s website for mixing ratios and this product isn’t even listed. So I had to guess and used the 2parts water to 1 part plaster ratio- like dishwater. Increased the plaster to 1:1- still runny. Increased the plaster to another 1/2 cup and only then did it begin to react.
Poured it into 3 moulds since there was so much and a layer of water rose to the surface. I let it sit for almost 48 hours and it was still wet. The smallest of the molds broke apart, the larger two are still drying after all this time!
The description says it is dense but because I had to mixing instructions, mine are crumbly and unusable.
Terrible product. Will stick with regular Plaster of Paris.

Awesome plaster of Paris. I love it. It dries between 4 and 5 minutes and is very good with molds. If you want to know how to work with plaster you can go through my YouTube channel "Bell de la Vega. Art"

We love this product. It is so easy to use and after poured the items are so smooth.
For those that have complained about no instructions, they are inside of the bag of plaster.
We have bought this product many times. We wish that it came in a bigger size!

I think perhaps adding another layer of protection during the shipping process would be a good idea! Ha! The product worked fabulously, but arrived in a mess. Even our poor delivery man was covered in white residue hahah. Would recommend this product regardless, though.

Twice I ordered this product. And both times, it arrived with a punctured bag. So two-star deduction. The results have been good. Little to no air-bubbles.

It's Just Fancy Plaster. Very lightweight castings. Powder is smelly. Castings are brittle.
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2018Verified Purchase
Strange perfume odor, might be unpleasant for some (other plaster I bought also has this smell but not as strong). Castings are harder than regular plaster of paris, cures quicker and doesn't "chalk off" like plaster, BUT it is also much more brittle. Thinner castings broke just picking them up. Regular plaster costs about 1/4 the price, but I had to go to several local stores to find it. So there is something to be said for Prime shipping for this fancy plaster. If you are wondering about any benefits worth the extra price, I would probably just get some local store plaster again, would only get this if I couldn't find anything locally or had a more serious project. Other reviewers said detail is better and has less bubbles which I agree, in those ways it is better than regular old plaster. For my application the extra price is not worth it. Other reviewers said paint doesn't stick, I painted with a wash with cheap acrylic craft paint, and it took no problem. Used for diorama rock castings simulating crags and cliffs.

The best plaster made for all sorts of applications.
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2016Verified Purchase
I rarely review products, but have to review this because it is so good. How can this be that different from Plaster of Paris? You'd be amazed... First of all, it casts beautifully. Very durable and lots of detail. More importantly, it has great adhesion to anything porous. And it can be thinned, colored (with universal tints or pure pigments) and painted on in layers without becoming flaky or brittle. The perfect plaster. I'm an artist and designer and have worked with many plasters and casting mediums. This is by far the best.

Product not as pictured, no instructions
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2020Verified Purchase
I returned this product because it came as a bagged mix that doesn't even explain the mixing ratios! It just says Mix, Pour, Finish.... The only useful information on the package is the safety warning which notes issues with irritation (yup! I am). It also notes to keep it away from kids and pets, so consider that with regards to your intended use.
