Description

This pourable latex is pre-vulcanized for creating durable skins in gypsum molds. It forms a thick skin by allowing the latex to dwell before pouring out the excess. The latex can be colored using Fabtone™ pigments to achieve the desired hue.

Pour the latex into a dry, unsealed gypsum mold. For thin skins, pour the excess back immediately. For thicker skins, let it dwell longer. A 30-minute dwell time results in approximately 1.58 mm thickness, while a 2-hour dwell time can achieve 6.35 mm. Note that dense plasters and environmental conditions like humidity and temperature can affect drying time and thickness.

After pouring, allow the latex to dry in the mold for 12 hours at room temperature before demolding. Lightly dust the inside of the casting with talc to prevent sticking. Avoid exposing the casting to oils, greases, or solvents, and store it out of direct sunlight.

For cleanup, use soap and water to remove both wet and dry latex. Optional enhancements include using Fabtone™ latex colorants for dyeing and HX-Stiffener™ for reducing flexibility.
