Instructions in 6 steps The houses must first be cast with Raysin. No wonder Raysin pure white casting powder is so popular: simple to use yet providing perfect casting outcome. Your castings will be dry quickly, so you can combine them with the matching wooden or felt shapes. All perfectly matched for perfect results!
Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Mixing vessel, poss. sandpaper, wooden spatula, double-sided adhesive tape, tweezers or needle
And this is how it works:
1

Step 1

Prior to casting, prepare the casting mould with the Nupsi placeholder as advised. Stick a few pieces of double-sided adhesive tape to one side of the Nupsi placeholder. Then remove the protective foil and place the Nupsi placeholder at the bottom part of your casting mould. Leave clear space of at least 1 cm from the bottom rim.

Step 2

You can now proceed to the casting of your prepared house. Mix Raysin casting powder according to the instructions on the pack. If you want to cast a coloured house, mix Raysin casting powder with the colour pigment of your choice. You'll need more water in that case.

Advice: To start with, pour in only half the amount of water and stir in the colour pigments until well mixed. Pour the mixed casting compound slowly into the already prepared casting mould. Wait at least 1 hour before demoulding the house.
