STUDIO.KIT Repressing Guide
What You’ll Need:
– Arbor press
– STUDIO.KIT Re-Pressing Mould
– Empty metal pans
– Loose powder product
– Mixing spatula/ mini spoon
– 70% isopropyl alcohol
– Small zip lock bag (for crushing + storing product)
– Sharpie or label printer (to identify product names)
– Zip lock bags cut into small squares (for pressing)
Step 1 — Prepare the Product
Sanitise your hands and tools with 70% alcohol. Place your powder into a zip lock bag and crush it
into a fine, even consistency using a spatula or tool. Label the product clearly for reference.
Step 2 — Fill the Pan
Insert the metal pan into the mould and press it down so it sits flush, leaving space for product.
Lightly spray the pan with 1–2 sprays of alcohol. Fill the pan to around ¾ full, spreading the powder evenly.
Gently tap on a flat surface to settle the product.
Step 3 — Press the Product
Place a clean plastic square over the powder-filled mould. Insert the top press block with the SK logo facing up,
then position the mould centrally under the arbor press. Press down firmly on the arbor press to evenly compact the powder.
Step 4 — Remove & Check
Remove the mould from the Arbor press. Push down on the top block to release the metal pan from the base of the mould.
Lightly tap on the pan to check firmness. If not cracks appear, your product has been securely pressed.
If cracks appear, simply repress the product.
Tips:
Wipe the mould between colours using antibacterial wipes.
After use, wash with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
Some powder products are not suitable for repressing ie baked formulas. This will show through trial and error.
Repressing takes a little patience and is truly a labour of love that completely transforms the way your kit works for you.
