Latex can be used on several master materials including plaster, clay, wood and metals. However, Latex always works best on porous materials as these draw moisture out of the latex causing it to thicken. For non-porous surfaces we supply latex thickener which when mixed with latex alters its viscosity helping it to form on metals, plastics etc. Masters can be dipped in latex, or it can be painted on (best for non-porous masters). After dipping latex should dry within 20 minutes and may be removed from masters after approx. 3 hours, however, before doing so coat the latex with washing up liquid to prevent any sticking. Use within 6 months. Price: £12.80 (Including: VAT at 17.5%)

You can use the alginate, a seaweed-based product, to mould complete volumes extremely accurately. Especially designed to mould soft objects, you can use the alginate to duplicate up to three plaster castings from the same mould.
Siligum is a flexible and resistant paste for accurate moulding of ornaments, findings and models. Siligum has a rapid setting time of 5 minutes and moulds all objects within 10 minutes which means you have a longer working time than most alginates but are assured of a rapid set time! Siligum will produce in excess of 50 casts and can be used with plaster, resin, and even low melting metals and waxes, however if using with Crystal Resin the mould should first be coated in Vaseline liquid
