Clay shrinks, cracks, and cannot be sanded or carved realistically once dry. WoodCast™ is true wood fiber — it behaves exactly like wood and gives you architectural-quality detail without the fragility or inconsistency of clay.

Acrylic resin cures into a hard plastic, which cannot be sanded, carved, stained, or bent once cured.

WoodCast is not plastic.

• It sands like wood
• It carves like wood
• It stains like wood
• It paints like wood
• It can be warmed and shaped
• It bonds seamlessly to wood surfaces

It is the closest thing to authentic carved wood you can make in a mold.

Our patent-pending formula is inspired by centuries-old Italian wood-pulp carving methods used by European artisans for architectural moldings and furniture embellishments. WoodCast™ modernizes a technique that has been used in Italy for hundreds of years.

To keep WoodCast fresh, pliable, and easy to use, it must be stored in an airtight container. Always seal the lid tightly after each use and avoid leaving it exposed to air for long periods. Exposure to air will cause the product to dry out and lose workability.

For ideal storage:

• Keep the container sealed tightly
  
• Store in a cool, dry place
  
• Avoid extreme temperatures or direct sunlight

Revive it by misting it with acetone (never water). Blend well until it becomes soft and pliable again before pressing into your mold.

Use wood glue or super glue depending on the surface.After applying glue to the back of your appliqué, tape it in place while it dries to secure a perfect, seamless fit onto your piece.

WoodCast is designed for decorative castings and minor cosmetic repairs, not for full structural reconstruction. While it can fill small chips, dents, and surface imperfections, it is not a wood filler or structural repair product.

WoodCast works best for creating raised embellishments, appliqués, moulded details, trim accents, and ornamental repairs that add character and dimension to furniture and decor. For major broken areas, load-bearing repairs, or rebuilding missing sections of furniture, we recommend completing those structural fixes first, then using WoodCast to add decorative detail and finish work.

Yes — beautifully.
After drying your appliqué overnight:

1. Place it in the microwave for 30 seconds.
2. Remove carefully — it will be warm and flexible.
3. Shape it around curved surfaces such as legs, frames, and moldings.
4. Apply glue to the back and tape it securely until fully bonded.

This is one of WoodCast’s greatest advantages over resin or clay.

Yes. It sands like raw wood, allowing you to refine edges or blend the appliqué into your surface seamlessly.

Yes.If you are lacquering your appliqué, prime it first, as WoodCast™ absorbs paint like raw wood.

• Overnight is ideal for maximum hardness.

In a hurry? Let it dry 2–4 hours, gently demold, and finish drying flat.

No. WoodCast™ does NOT shrink in the mold, unlike many clays.

No — WoodCast™ releases easily from high-quality silicone molds.

Yes. Use a craft knife, utility knife, or small saw. It cuts like soft wood.

WoodCast is formulated to look, feel, and behave like real wood. Because of this, it is not recommended for long-term outdoor use. Just like natural wood, WoodCast can absorb moisture, swell, or eventually rot when exposed to the elements. If you choose to use it outdoors, be sure to seal it thoroughly with an exterior-grade sealer and avoid placing it in areas with direct weather exposure.

Standard mold depths work perfectly. Thick pours may take 24–48 hours to fully cure.

Absolutely. WoodCast™ is extremely forgiving and perfect for:
