In this video, we demonstrate creating metal cold cast panels using Smooth Cast ONYX liquid plastic and bronze powder.
This technique is called cold casting, as it gives you the appearance of a metal cast piece but there was no melting involved, hence cold casting. In this how to cold cast video we show you the 4 main steps involved in cold casting which are:
- Preparing the gel coat with resin and metal powder
- Casting the resin gel coat into the mould
- Pouring a backing layer of resin
- Polishing with steel wool
At the end of the process you have a cold cast piece that looks like real metal... because it has real metal in it!
