Description
Dala Casting Rubber
- Dala Casting Rubber is a brush-on, liquid latex product for flexible mould creation.
- It enables you to replicate detailed designs by brushing onto the original to create a flexible ‘negative’, from.
- Ideal for flexible mould making.
- Dala casting Rubber is a brush-on, liquid latex moulding product that requires a few coats layered on top of one another to create a flexible skin from which a positive may be cast.
- Product will darken slightly when completely dried.
- Once the first layer is dry, apply a second coat, and then a third, and a fourth – leaving time in between each layer to dry.
- For best results apply 7-10 layers of Casting Rubber to the original.
- Once the casting rubber layer(s) has dried, you will be able to peel it off of the original for filling with your chosen moulding product.
- For extra strength and support of your flexible mould, pour plaster of paris over the casting rubber-covered original, and create a flat ‘top’ by skimming the surface of the plaster of paris.
- This will give you a sturdy base for your flexible mould to sit in when you flip it over. Prepare your moulding material as per manufacturers instructions and pour into your flexible mould.
- Wait the recommended time for the product to dry and release the mould from the casting rubber skin.
- WARNING: Casting Rubber contains ammonia and may be a potential skin and eye irritant. Handle with care.
