This is a natural air drying liquid rubber used to make thin elastic self releasing moulds by repeated dipping of the former. A thickening agent can also be used. It is best used to reproduce simple shapes without to much detail such as chess pieces.

A thixotropic gel, which is used to thicken latex for brush on application. Add at the rate of 5% to 10% as required.

Vinyl rubbers are re-usable self releasing rubbers supplied in solid blocks. Very versatile they produce moulds for a wide range of casting applications such as polyesters, epoxies, plaster and concrete casting. They require heating to approx. 170ºC before being poured over formers to produce moulds good for up to 10 castings. Moulds can be cut up and remelted. Porous or damp formers should be sealed with G4 sealer. Available in various grades offering a choice of flexibility. The more flexible the rubber the less durable. Yellow is the hardest. White is medium hard. Red is the softest

A cast alloy surround for mounting onto a heat source with internal pan for remelting Vinamould. Electric melters are also available by special order. Details on request.

This material produces the highest quality rubber moulds with extremely fine detail and minimal shrinkage. They will produce 100 or more castings depending on the complexity of the shape. This self releasing liquid rubber is activated by the addition of a catalyst, poured over the former and cured at room temperature. RTV1028 is the medium grade. RTV1018 is a softer grade for deep undercuts and intricate designs. Select either standard catalyst or fast catalyst. Full data sheets on request.

A semi flexible moulding compound, normally used for taking dental impressions. Excellent for taking moulds from in situ mouldings. Simply mix alginate with water and apply. Working time is 5 minutes. Demould time is 15 minutes

Mix with water to produce castings, moulds and patterns. Setting times are a guide only. More water increases setting time and reduces hardness. Conversely less water shortens setting time and increases hardness.

A bulk pack of plaster impregnated bandage for modelling and sculptures

A non toxic waterproof plasticine supplied in 500g blocks. White or black.

Used for creating shapes and models this easy to use grey modelling clay hardens when left to dry. Also reinforced with nylon for strength

Plastic tool used to model and sculpt soft materials such as newplast.

Are used to produce blocks from clear casting resin. They are re-usable, self releasing, made of styrene resistant plastic with a high gloss surface finish. The cast block requires some finishing. The moulds are available in 4 shapes.
