I like it because it doesn’t set up too fast. Seems to give me enough time to add color or other things and manipulate it before it goes solid. Sometimes that’s what I need.

Lovely!
This is so wonderful to work with and is so unique and pretty when finished.
It's quite differant than the the Epoxy though and so can be quite complimentary.
Stonelith is our newest addition to the Nerpa product family. It is a two-component polymer/mineral composite resin system - an extremely versatile material for casting, moulding, and laminating aesthetic, creative, and structural pieces.
Stonelith can be moulded and shaped to produce a wide variety of 3D artistic creations, such as small crafts, design furniture, ornamental components and concept prototypes. Stonelith's ability to capture intricate details positions it as a premier option for crafting detailed and complex art pieces.
Upon blending, it produces a robust and adaptable substance that can be moulded or laminated into an array of designs, surpassing the applications of traditional compounds.
Key features:
Water-based polymer technology is safer for the environment than solvent-based alternatives
Ammonia-free, which eliminates a source of chemical irritation
It can mimic materials such as stone, concrete and wood. Compatible with epoxy resins once cured
Resistant to UV rays
Application Examples:
Decorative crafts such as vases, trays, candle holders and others
Terrazzo effect finish
Designer furniture with complex shapes and unconventional configurations
Complex geometry prototypes
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) shell coating projects
Lightweight construction applications such ascomposite lightweight structures
Decorative wall panels
Contoured canvas art
Many others!
We formulated the Stonelith without containing VOCs and ammonia to provide you with a safer, quality material. Stonelith stands out from the alternatives because it is easier to use, thanks to its extended working time. To enhance air release, we introduced a nanoform additive into a formula that boosts the material's self-defoaming properties.
Mixing Ratio
2.5:1 by weight
Appearance (once mixed)
white, opaque, low-viscosity liquid
Appearance (once cured)
white, opaque, hard material with a smooth, creamy texture
Stonelith is considered a safer option than epoxy resin, mainly due to the lack of skin sensitization and skin corrosion issues associated with epoxy. Our water-based polymeric material is considered a non-hazardous liquid when used as instructed.
We strongly encourage you to always wear a mask when working with the particulate matter (base) of the Stonelith. Inhaling dust for prolonged periods can lead to respiratory system irritation and other related issues. Please refer to the Safety Data Sheet for further information.
It is also important to note that the reaction between the base and the polymer is exothermic (5"*5"*3" block made with Stonelith reaches a temperature of 52°C within 2.5 hours after mixing and application stage). You should NEVER encase any parts of the body in Stonelith, as it can lead to burns and injuries.
