A kit is an unfinished, unpainted cast-resin or printed assortment of pieces. While we pride ourselves on clean work that is more or less ready to go, some minor sanding of sharp edges and filling of tiny bubbles is necessary on occasion. Generally speaking, unless you intend to make drastic changes to a piece, resin pieces can be put in a ready-to-paint state in fifteen minutes or less.

"Raw" kits tend to have flashing, pour spouts and additional sanding work to be prepared before painting.

Every kit is hand-made. While we maintain pretty consistent moulds, it is natural for hand-made items to have tiny variations between pieces.

The vast majority of our pieces are cast from Smooth-On 300 urethane resin and Smooth-On 325 & 326 urethane resin for gems
For specialty pieces we use:

Smooth-On's ONYX (Fast and Slow)
Smooth-On's 47D, 57D, 65D
Smooth-On's Vytaflex (20-40 shore urethane rubber)
Smooth-On's Featherlite or Urefil 15
Smooth-On's Foam-It and FlexFoam-It series

We tint our pieces with a pigment these days because it helps us with quality control and makes it easier to photograph. It varies slightly from batch to batch.

Pieces that are intended to be painted white will generally be cast in white.

We recommend it to improve paint adhesion. While textured pieces will hold just about any paint very well, very smooth pieces sometimes have trouble accepting certain paints as the paint doesn't have much to cling to.

Alternately, you can rough up the surface gently with a 320 grit sandpaper.

We generally prefer automotive paints like Duplicolor's Melalcast series. Paints intended for plastics (like Krylon) work wonderfully as well for non-metallic colours.

When you place an order for a fabric, we turn around and inform our printers of the order. They produce the fabric and ship directly to you.

Orders on fabric are fulfilled through Art of Where in Montreal, Canada. They generally take 7-14 days processing depending on the time of year and how busy they are.

Absolutely. It is easy to heat up a piece with a heat gun or a strong hairdryer and form it as desired. It is very possible to fold a thin piece completely in half with a bit of care. Thicker pieces will take a bit more time.

We recommend working slow and in stages; if you heat a piece too much it may warp, and if you try to bend it without sufficient heat it will crack/snap.

We don't ship paper instructions with our 3D printed kit to save on packaging cost. If you need help visually or need a set of instructions, let us know. Send us a message or email us. We'll trouble shoot it together. Don't forget to send us pictures.
