2 SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES: It may seem like a strange way to begin a catalog dealing with sculptural supplies, but we think it's important enough to be here. First and foremost, if you can't work with these materials safely, then you not only endanger yourself but possibly others around you. Whenever you obtain any materials whether it be a pigment or a wax or whatever, it's a good idea to request a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). These informative documents contain valuable information covering all aspects of toxicity and protective measures necessary to safely use all of the various materials we sell. One of our most basic commandments around here is; if you can't use it safely, don't use it! Essentially, toxic chemicals can enter the body in one of three ways; ingestion, inhalation and absorption. Sometimes it's just a matter of putting on a pair of gloves to protect yourself; for other products you may need to invest in a good respirator to protect your respiratory system. In any event, there are guides as to what kind of protection you may need for any given form of toxic chemical. Our philosophy is not to scare people, but to educate people so that they may respect, not fear the materials they use.

GLOVES: We've looked at a lot of gloves over the years and have whittled our product offering down to just a couple of types. The disposable latex gloves are good general- purpose gloves for use with all kinds of things, but they have a tendency to dissolve if immersed into solvents like turpentine and naphtha. For a more solvent resistant glove, use the nitrile gloves; either the disposable ones or the heavy-duty variety for those tough jobs. Item Per Pair Per Per box of Number Dozen 100 Heavy Nitrile Gloves ( size 7, 8, 9, 10 ) SE-1009 $3.85 $36.95 Disposable Nitrile Gloves M SE-1012 SE-1011 $19.00 L SE-1042 .60 XL SE-1044 Disposable Latex Gloves (Powder-Free) S SE-1016 SE-1015 $9.00 M SE-1042 .50 $62.50 per 10 L SE-1043 box carton Heavy Neoprene gloves ( sizes 7,8,9,10 ) SE-1019 $2.00 $19.20

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: There are masks for both the things you can see(dust, mist and fumes), and the things you can't see (vapors). In both cases the appropriate mask will filter out the offending toxin, but in some cases a specific filtering medium is needed. In other words, for dust you need a dust mask (and if it's a highly toxic particulate, you'll need a good one), for vapors you need a vapor mask- and one specifically designed for the vapor you need to filter. When in doubt, ask us; we can tell you exactly what you might need. For the number 7700 vapor mask we also sell all of the replacement cartridges, valves, etc. #2200 Dust and Mist Respirator- For those medium duty $2.00/ea. $24.00/ box of 20 jobs when dealing with pigments, and the like. SE-1007

No. 8500 Mask No. 2200 Mask No. 2300 Mask No. 2400 Mask

EYE PROTECTION: Sometimes vapors can be absorbed by the eye as well as the skin, so it's a good idea to protect those eyeballs since they're the only ones you've got. The goggles work fine for things such as stone carving with hand tools and they also work well as chemical splash goggles; the safety glasses are lighter duty and won't protect you from those stray pieces of flying debris, but they have less of a tendency to fog up. Safety Goggles ( plastic )...... SE-1027...... $6.00/pr. Safety Glasses ( plastic )...... SE-1029...... $4.00/pr.

BODY PROTECTION: Sometimes it's just nice to stay clean and these coveralls can help you do just that. If you get splashed with resin, it's better to throw away a five dollar pair of disposable coveralls than have to get rid of those expensive jeans you just bought. Tyvex Covercalls ( size M,L,XL )(SE-1030)

SUPERSOAP: We've tried a wide variety of hand cleaners over the years, and have found some that work and others that don't do much. Then you've also got the problem of the funky residue that remains on your hands even after you've rinsed, or you end up with dry skin. Super Soap solves all of those problems. Not only does this stuff clean really well, it leaves your hands residue free and won't dry out your skin. We use it around here every day for removing all kinds of materials and swear by it. It's reasonably priced too! 1 lb. tub....SS-1...... $3.95 5 lb. tub.....SS-5...... $11.95

4 FLEXIBLE MOLD MATERIALS: LATEXES: Latex compounds are what started it all in flexible rubber mold making. Derived from natural rubber harvested from Malaysian rubber plantations, these materials are still used today by many of the large statuary casting factories around the world because of their durability, low cost and ease of use. In general these materials are best used when casting gypsum and portland cements. To use, simply brush multiple layers onto your model and support with either a plaster or fiberglass mother mold. Not recommended for casting waxes or plastic resins. Because of the danger of freeze damage, we will not ship latex outside of California from about the end of October til about the end of April depending on weather conditions. If you insist on having materials shipped during that time, they must be prepaid in full.

LATEX 74: This is the finest latex mold making compound that money can buy. A high solids,(74%) ammonia free, off white natural rubber latex which is unsurpassed for making molds for plaster and cement casting. No more unpleasant ammonia smell to deal with as with all of the other latex mold making rubbers out there. A little more expensive than some, but because of the higher solids content, it will build faster and ultimately save you time. 1 Quart ...... MC-1015...... $15.50 1 Gallon...... MC-1016...... $43.75 2 Gallons...... MC-1017...... $80.85 5 Gallons...... MC-1018...... $184.80 25 Gallons...... $863.60 50 Gallons...... MC-1020...... $1607.00

LATEX NUMBER 10 CLEAR: A high tear strength unpigmented latex rubber which is used mostly for casting into plaster molds. Used extensively for making items such as rubber gloves. May be colored with universal tinting colors. Can also be used for rubber coating of art objects as a soft coating, but will tend to deteriorate in a few years from exposure to ultraviolet light and ozone. Not recommended for mold making. 1 Quart...... MC-1002...... $11.50 1 Gallon.....MC-1003...... $36.95 5 Gallon...... MC.-1005...... $169.50

MASK LATEX: We seem to always get those people who want to create a flexible mask and would like to be able to use an economical material to do so. This is the perfect product for this application. A low cost material for mask making and creating rubber stuff in general. Simply slush cast into a dry plaster mold as you would clay slip. Not recommended for mold making! 1 quart...... MC-1207...... $10.25 1 gallon...... MC-1208...... $34.20 5 gallons...... MC-1209...... $152.95

5 POLYURETHANES: Polyurethanes probably make up the largest family of synthetic elastomers available today. These flexible mold materials can be used to cast a wide variety of casting media if the proper release agents are used. Some are designed for a specific casting medium; others are more “general purpose”. We carry a complete offering of materials from Smooth-On, Inc. of Pennsylvania and feel that they not only offer a line of quality materials, but they also have years of experience behind the polyurethanes they produce. As a result, the materials we sell here are easy to use, and competitively priced. Please review the chart following this section to help in selecting the proper urethane for your project.

Brush-On 40, Brush-On 50 and Brush-On 60: Brushed onto your model like latex, but cured like polyurethane, Brush-On 40 and 50 are available in easy to use one to one by volume formulas. Great for those mold making projects where pouring a mold is impossible. (Ever try to make a mold of a ceiling medallion in place?) Shore A hardness of 40, 50 and 60 respectively 2 Pint Unit ...... MC-1021(40)...... $24.75 MC-1021A(50) 2 Gallon Unit ...... MC-1022(40)...... $113.60 MC-1022A(50) 2X5 Gallon Unit ...... MC-1023(40)...... $522.60 MC-1023A(50)

PMC-121-50, Reo Flex 40, and PMC-121-30: Easy to use mold materials which are formulated for one to one by weight or volume ratios. General purpose mold making elastomers, PMC-121-50 has a shore A hardness of 50, PMC-121-40 has a shore A hardness of 40, PMC 121-30 has a shore A hardness of 30. Color: Translucent Brown. They are great for pouring molds for a wide variety of casting media. 50 40 30 2 Pint Unit(2 lbs.) ...... $20.00 MC-1024 MC-1024B MC-1024A 2 Gallon Unit(16 lbs.) ...... $100.90 MC-1025 MC-1025A MC-1178 2X5 Gallon Unit (80 lbs.)....$438.50 MC-1026 MC-1026A MC-1177 2 Drum Unit ...... $4112.25...... MC-1027 MC-1027A

VYTAFLEX: The new kid on the block, the Vytaflex series polyurethanes were designed specifically for casting Portland cement only. In other words, not for gypsum cements nor wax. Good surface detail holding quality and durability. Available in the full spectrum of hardnesses, that is Shore A 10 through 60. We carry as stock items the Vytaflex 20 and 40, all other hardnesses are special order items. If you want something that performs just a little bit better for casting Portland cements, Vytaflex may be for you. Just as an aside, we think the Vytaflex 20 is great for making rubber doodads as it is quite clear and easy to color- relatively soft too! 20 40 2 Pint Unit(2 lbs.)...…..$20.00 MC-1202 MC-1024D 2 Gallon Unit(16 lbs.)...... $100.90 MC-1203 MC-1025B 2X5 Gallon Unit(80 lbs.)...... $438.50 MC-1204 MC-1026B

PMC-724: This is the material by which all others are measured. Probably the most versatile polyurethane mold making material available today. Can be poured, brushed, softened or accelerated by the addition of parts D, So-Flex or Kick It. Originally designed for casting wax in the lost wax bronze casting process, PMC-724 also finds use as a mold material for gypsum cements, portland cements and some thermoset plastics. Ten to one mix ratio by weight. Not recommended for molds that are to be kept for more than five years. Color: Off White. Shore A Hardness:40, but variable. 1 Gallon Unit(9.9 lbs.)...... MC-1031...... $57.25 5 Gallon Unit(44.5 lbs.)...... MC-1032...... $224.85 Drum Unit(495 lbs.)...... MC-1033...... $1820.60 6

PMC-744: Sister product to PMC-724, but different polymer type. Designed specifically for casting ceramic block and case (plaster) molds and gypsum cements, but also works well with portland cements and some thermoset plastics. It is also possible to thicken by the addition of Thixo HP. Color: Translucent Amber. Shore A hardness of 40 but can be made softer by the addition of So-Flex. Two to one mix ratio by weight, but will also tolerate volumetric measurement. 1.5 Quart Unit(3 lbs.)...... MC-1034A...... $28.10 3x1 Gallon Unit(24 lbs.)...... MC-1035...... $150.30 3X5 Gallon Unit(120 lbs.)...... MC-1036...... $641.70 Drum Unit (675 lbs.)...... MC-1037.. $2995.25

EZ Mix 50: A relative newcomer to our offering, EZ Mix 50 consists of 2 liquids that when mixed in a one to one by volume ratio form a thixotropic compound which may be brushed onto your model to create a blanket mold. The advantage of this material over such materials as Brush-On 50 is that you are working with two liquids, the disadvantage is that EZ Mix 50 is not quite as durable as Brush-On 50 and is mass sensitive, meaning that the more you mix, the faster it will set up. Shore A hardness is 50 and color is blue. 2X1 Gallon Unit...... $100.90 MC-1191 2X5 Gallon $438.50 MC-1192

PMC-746: A harder product than either PMC-724 or 744, PMC-746 is also designed for use in making block and case molds. It is useful when one just feels the need for a little harder rubber for general mold making when casting all cement types, and PMC-746 will work with waxes and some thermoset plastics as well. Color:Transparent Amber. Shore A hardness is 60, but again may be varied somewhat with So-Flex. Mix ratio is two to one by weight. 1.5 Qt. unit...... MC-1172...... $28.00. 3X1 Gallon Unit(24 lbs.)...... MC-1041...... $155.40 3X5 Gallon Unit(120 lbs.).....MC-1042...... $675.90

PMC-780: One of the hardest materials of this type, PMC-780 is used where one needs a mold material with very little flex. Will work with all cement types, waxes, and some thermoset plastics. Color: Transparent Amber. Shore A hardness is 80, but may be softened somewhat with So-Flex. 1.5 Qt. unit...... MC-1173...... $28.00 3X1 Gallon Unit(24 lbs.).....MC--1184...... $178.90...... 3X5 Gallon Unit(120 lbs.).....MC-1184A...... $771.75

PMC-790: This is the hardest of the “soft” elastomers we offer. Used more often for casting flexible parts rather than mold making. Color: transparent amber. Shore A hardness is 90. 1.5Qt. unit...... MC-1176...... $28.00...... 3X1 Gallon Unit(24 lbs.)...... MC-1171...... $178.90

CLEAR FLEX 50 AND CLEAR FLEX 95: Not exactly mold making materials, but flexible nonetheless, these two flexible polyurethanes are water white, water clear materials and are quite durable. Recommended when absolute clarity or color control is a necessity in a tough, archival UV resistant elastomer. Shore A hardness 50 and 95 respectively. Mix ratio is 2 parts B to one part A by weight. Special order ONLY Must be paid for in advance. Call for current pricing and sizes.

X-TEND IT: If you intend to use a polyurethane elastomer (or resin for that matter) and maybe don't want to use all of the material at one time, this dry gas will allow you to save the remaining product in the container until you are ready to use it once again. Simply lift the lid on the bucket or jug, blow the X-Tend It into the container and reseal. The urethane will last indefinitely. Aerosol Can...... MA-1165...... $16.75*

7 SO-FLEX: Clear plasticizer which is used as a softener for the PMC series materials. In general this material does not change the A to B ratio for these elastomers. Pint Unit...... MC-1047...... $12.00 Gallon Unit...... MC-1048...... $52.45 5 Gallon Unit...... MC-1049.....$219.65

KICK-IT: This product is essentially an accelerator for the polyurethane elastomers and can be used to speed up the cure of most of the PMC products we offer. 1 pint...... 53-25-PT...... $27.55 1 Gallon...... 53-25-GAL...... $165.00

PMC-724 Part D: This is a chemical thickener for PMC-724 and requires the addition of only 1-2% by weight of the part B to achieve nice brushable or buttery mixtures. Must be compensated for by additional part A. (See specific instructions on data sheet, or see the video, "How to Make a Flexible Rubber Mold You Can Work With"-Available for $15.00-see book section of this catalogue.) Pint Unit...... MC-1050...... $15.35 Gallon Unit...... MC-1051...... $100.00

PMC-724 Flow Control Kits: These consist of enough premeasured part A and D to thicken one gallon of PMC-724 into a nice brushable mixture. 1 Kit...... MC-1057...... $11.00

URE-BOND II: Urethane adhesive. Very useful for repairing torn polyurethane molds. This adhesive is a superior bonding agent for adhering polyurethane rubber to porous and non porous materials, and provides a strong, flexible bond. (1A to 1B by volume ratio, 5 min pot life, 20 min cure, amber color)

2 x 1 pint set……. AM-1044…….$64.00 2 x 1 gallon set…. AM-1048……..$231.00

POLYSULFIDE: This material has been in existence for many years and was the standard mold making “rubber” for lost wax casting up until the last twenty years or so. Consisting of relatively soft elastomers, polysulfides are what we here at Douglas and Sturgess fondly refer to as “Old Dependable”. Mainly used for wax casting, polysulfides can also be used for plaster and cements, but are not recommended for plastics.

COLDSET: This is now the only polysulfide we offer and is very tough and flexible. It is usually poured, but can be thickened with the addition of Thixo or Thixo HP to achieve a buttery compound for direct application of the rubber. Mix ratio: 100 to 16 by weight. Color: Black. Shore A hardness: 15. 5 Gallon Unit...... MC-1060...... $375.00 Drum Unit...... MC-1062...... $3328.50

Extra Catalyst for Polysulfides: Some of you like to use a little more catalyst sometimes with the polysulfides to insure that everything will cure completely and somewhat quickly and as such we offer extra catalyst for those situations. We also have a fast curative available in the following size which will cut your pot life and cure time in half. 1 quart(enough for 5 gallons)....MC-1054...... $32.50 8 A NOTE ON SHORE HARDNESS: Shore A and Shore D hardness scales are relative scales that are used to define the hardness of rubbers and plastics. Both scales run from zero to 100, and the high end of the A scale overlaps the low end of the D scale. The A scale is used to define soft materials like the various mold making rubbers we sell and the D scale is used to gauge harder materials like the C-1500 series polyurethane resins we offer. To give you some points of reference, a tire rubber is somewhere around 60 or 70 Shore A, while a hard plastic like your telephone is about 80 Shore D.

SILICONES: Like the polyurethane family, the silicone family is quite varied. We offer materials with a wide variety of hardnesses and can usually recommend a specific grade for any given project. Consisting of two basic cure systems; platinum (or addition), and tin (or condensation), some of the polymers may seem similar, but will have completely different chemical and physical properties. We have some that are pourable, some that are (or can be made) brushable and even one that is a putty and can be applied to difficult to mold surfaces by hand. Everything from cements to waxes to plastics and even some low melting point metal alloys can be cast into a silicone of one type or another. In general, the lowest toxicity, by group, than any of the other two component elastomers, but also the most expensive.

SR-1610,1618,1621,1644: These are tin (or condensation) cured elastomers and are generally the best for those mold making applications where surface inhibition might be a problem. SR-1621 is a relatively soft, (shore A:23) tough material and is what we consider to be our “flagship” silicone. Easy to use in its ten to one ratio (by weight) this elastomer can be modified by the addition of Viscosil for those situations where one might need a brushable compound, and it can also be accelerated by the addition of Rapid Set for those of you who might be in a hurry to make a mold. SR-1644 is a harder polymer (shore A 40) but is not as tough as the SR-1621 and is used where one might need a mold that need not be flexed as much, or more accurate “keying” of multiple part molds is necessary. The newest addition to this family of elastomers is the SR- 1618 which has a Shore A hardness of 15 and is great for those molds where maximum flexibility is needed. The 1600 series silicones are best used with waxes, cements, polyurethanes and polyester resins. Not recommended for casting epoxy resins or metal alloys. 1 Pint Unit ...... $20.10 5 Gallon Unit...... $460.80(2or more,$398.00/ea.) 1 Gallon Unit ...... $111.50 1 Drum Unit...... $4333.20 1pint 1gallon 5gallon 1drum SR-1621 MC-1068 MC-1069 MC-1071 MC-1073 SR-1610 MC-1211 MC-1212 MC-1213 SR-1618 MC-1188 MC-1187 MC-1186 SR-1644 MC-1074 MC-1075 MC-1077 SR-1654 MC-1080 MC-1081 MC-1083 Silputty, Dermasil: This group of products consists of three materials with very specific properties and uses. These materials are temperature sensitive, which means that if it’s warm, they’ll cure fast; if it’s cold they’ll cure slower. They are also easily inhibited by specific materials such as sulfur containing clays, some polyurethanes and even some silicones--so we recommend that you test first if you’re in doubt about compatiblilty with your model surface. They have all been developed to be used in a one to one by volume 9 ratio. The Silputty is a pale green putty compound which can be simply mixed in the hand when equal amounts are pulled from the containers. It can be pressed onto the surface to be reproduced and is relatively stiff. (ShoreA=70) Silputty will cure to a rubbery elastomer in as little as 10 minutes depending on the temperature. Finally, we have Dermasil. This compound is a brushable material that can be brushed directly onto the skin for making molds from life. The only drawback is that Dermasil may have a tendency to stick to hair and it may be best to shave the area to be molded or apply a liberal film of petroleum jelly before proceeding. This series of products may be used for casting all of the thermoset plastics, waxes, cements an even low melt metal alloys. Refer to data sheet for specific instructions. 2X 1/2 pt. 2X 1 pt. 2X 1 qt. 2X 1 gal. 2X 5 Gal.

PURPLE STUF: Economy grade material for those projects where maybe performance isn’t as important, but you might still want to use a good grade of silicone. Durable yet soft and pliable, use the same as you might use our 1618-1621 but save a little dough. All of the modifiers that are compatible with those systems are compatible with the Purple Stuf. Available in 1 gallon and 5 gallon kits only. Shore A hardness: 18 1 Gallon:……….MC-1282……....$88.75 5 Gallons………MC-1283……...$324.60

SR-2238,2258: These materials are what we call platinum (or addition) cure silcones. In general they have the highest heat resistance of the silicones and can also handle all of the various types of thermoset plastics. The downside is that they can also be easily inhibited by certain substrates such as sulphur containing clays or polyurethane and epoxy resins. When using these materials as model surfaces for mold making with these silicones it may be necessary to seal the surface first with shellac before pouring your mold. (See data sheet.) Mix ratio for this group of materials is 10 to one by weight. SR-2238 is probably the most versatile silicone we offer because it can be used for casting practically any of the commonly used casting resins, cements, waxes and low melting point metal alloys. This material can also be thickened by the addition of Viscosil II to create brushable compounds for direct application. In general a very durable material. Shore A hardness is 35. SR-2258 is a harder version of the 2238 and is more appropriate for high heat applications and is also well suited for casting polyurethane foams. Shore A hardness is 60. 1 Pint Unit...... $21.00...... SR-2238...... MC-1098...... SR-2258...... MC-1104 1 Gallon Unit...... $114.00...... SR-2238...... MC-1099...... SR-2258......

SR-2330: This silicone is also of the platinum cure family, but it does not contain any opaque pigments and as a result, it is translucent (actually nearly transparent) and can be colored by the addition of a variety of pigments to produce rubber objects. It also is useful when one wants to make a mold that must be cut. The translucent quality of this material will allow you to see the part being molded and cut the mold in an appropriate manner. Mix ratio is 10 to one by weight and Shore A hardness is 30. 1 Pint Unit...... MC-1110A...... $27.80 1 Gallon Unit...... MC-1115...... $130.50 5 Gallon Unit......

10 DRAGON SKIN: This is a very soft (Shore A 10) and elastic, platinum cure silicone used for special effects, but will find use as a mold material in some specialized applications. One to one mix ratio, which makes it easy to use. 2X 1 Pint Set………MC-1244…..$28.65 2X1 gallon Set…MC-1245……$174.95 2X5 Gallon Set……MC-1246……$870.90

Rebound 25: Great product if you want a simple one to one, brushable silicone that cures relatively quickly and has a decent amount of durability. Not crazy about the color (fluorescent orange for cryin’ out loud) but hey if you have to, put on some sunglasses while you make your mold. This is a platinum (addition) cure system, so care must be taken when preparing your model, but mixing and brushing this on is a breeze. Use a little heat (that thrift store blow dryer is great) to accelerate the set time. 2X 1 pint Set...... MC-1244A...... $28.65 2X1 Gallon Set...... MC-1245A...... $174.95 2X5 Gallon Set...... MC-1246A...... $870.90

FOOD GRADE SILICONE(FGS-1137): We’ve been on the quest for this one for awhile and finally have one for those of you who want to make flexible molds for creating specialty food products. Use this material anywhere you might want to cast hot or cold food products into a flexible mold to make a food that can be consumed and even commercialized. Can even be used for making custom baking pans. Great for casting everything from chocolate to ice cream. We even have the FDA certification if you need documentation. 1 lb. kit……MC-1287……$27.80 8 lb. kit……MC-1288……130.50 40 lb. kit………MC-1289…………$531.25(special order)

OoMoo 25: Crazy name, decent silicone. This is another easy to use, one to one by volume product that cures quickly and is not particularly tough, but being silicone will accept many different casting media. Tin cure product, so inhibition is minimized. Shore A hardness: 25, pot life: 15 minutes, cure time: 75 minutes. 2X 1 Pint Set……MC-1240A………$22.00 2X1 Gallon Set……MC-1241A……. $140.20

SILICONE ADDITIVES AND MODIFIERS: We carry a complete line of modifiers and additives for the silicone RTV's we offer. Viscosil and Viscosil II are thickeners for SR-1621 and 2238 respectively; silicone fluid is a softener for all of the various silicone types and FC- 200 is an accelerator for the 1644 and 1654, while the Rapid Set is an accelerator for our 1610, 1618 and 1621 silicones which can give you the added benefit of quickly cured molds-as little as 30 minutes when added along with the proper catalyst.

SILICONE FLUID: Add this to that silicone that seems just a little bit too firm or too viscous. Mix as needed, but beware, adding too much will make the rubber very soft and affect the cure. In general adding 10% by weight to the base is a good rule of thumb. 2 oz...... MC-1152...... $3.75 1 Pint...... MC-1155...... $14.00 1 Gallon...... MC-1157...... $77.00 5 Gallons......

FC-200 ACCELERATOR and Rapid Set: For those of you who are in a hurry to get that mold finished, we have FC-200 which will reduce the time necessary to cure a mold made from our 1654 silicone. By adding from two to five percent by weight to the base along with the standard 10 percent catalyst, cure times will be as short as 3 hours. For the 1610, 1618, 1621 and 1644 we offer Rapid Set which even in minuscule amounts will accelerate these 11 materials so that a mold can be created in as little as 30 minutes. Not recommended for those molds that will be kept for extended periods of time.

VISCOSIL AND VISCOSIL II: If you prefer to make your molds by direct application rather than by pouring, you'll need to modify the silicone you're working with so that when you brush it onto your model it doesn't all run off. These two items are chemical thickeners that when added to the proper base material will give you nice brushable mixtures. Viscosil works at loadings of three to five percent with SR-1621, while Viscosil II will give a brushable mix at one to three percent with SR-2238. When ordering these items, be sure to ask for the concentrated catalyst for your respective silicone rubber. 2 oz...... MC-1144...... $3.95 1/2 Pint....MC-1146...... $11.95 1 Pint......

Extra Catalyst For Silicones: We know that all of you are not perfect and once in a while you may run out of catalyst. Knowing that, we will sell you extra catalyst for your rubber if you feel that you need it. Make sure that you request the proper catalyst for the silicone that you are using as these materials should not be mixed. 1.6 oz.(enough for one pound)...... $5.88 4 lb.(Enough for 5 Gallons)...... $49.40 13oz.(enough for one gallon)...... $16.50 1.6 oz. 13 oz. 4 lbs SR-1610 MC-1217 MC-1190 MC-1215 SR-1618 MC-1189 MC-1219 MC-1168B SR-1621 MC-1120 MC-1121 MC-1122 SR-1644 MC-1124 MC-1125 MC-1126 SR-1654 MC-1128 MC-1129 MC-1130 SR-2238 MC-1132 MC-1133 MC-1134 SR-2258 MC-1136 MC-1137 MC-1138 SR-2330 MC-1040A MC-1141A MC-1142A

SILPOXY: This stuff is great. If you’ve ever had the disappointment of having a silicone mold tear or break on you then you can appreciate an adhesive that can fix the situation. We’ve tried a lot of products over the years with limited success. This product WORKS. Glued joints hold quite well and allow for the mold to be used almost as new.

VINYLS: This group of materials has been around for a long time, and although they are good mold materials for many of the thermoset plastics, vinyls are not used nearly as much today as they once were because of the onslaught of polyurethanes and silicones in the marketplace. They can be highly cost effective because they are reusable, but because of their relatively high melting point, vinyls are somewhat difficult to use. We still offer them, and carry four different types for a variety of applications. Our basic clear hot melt is a Shore A hardness of 7, and is commonly used for making fishing lures. We also have a flesh colored version, which is sometimes used for those sex toys you might see out there, and a white version which is a little harder (shore A hardness: 20) and is well suited for mold making. Finally we have what is called plastisol which is heat cured onto metal surfaces to create a soft coating as in tool handle coverings. The plastisol has a Shore hardness of 50. The plastisol is not remeltable. In any event, the cost of all four is the same. 1 Quart...... $11.95 1 Gallon...... $39.50 5 Gallons...... $160.00 1 pt gallon 5 gallon Clear MC-1167 MC-1168 MC-1169 White MC- 1167W MC1165W MC-1169W Flesh MV-1167F MC-1168F MC-1169F

POLYMELT: Not necessarily a mold making material but probably best used as a flexible casting rubber, Polymelt is a synthetic, highly elastic rubber, which has properties unlike any other synthetic material we offer. In it's original form it looks like rubber sawdust with oil added to it but when melted at 350F becomes a liquid, which can be poured into a variety of mold materials to create highly elastic, extremely soft flesh-like castings.

ULTRAFLEX: What is Ultraflex? Ultraflex is the most amazingly stretchable, flexible water clear rubber compound we’ve ever seen. Ultraflex comes in slab form, which can be melted much like the vinyl materials, in an electric frying pan or other device set at 375f. We offer a Firm (15 shore A), Medium (7 shore A ), & Soft (00 shore A) Ultraflex. All are amazingly elastic and the soft is incredibly convincingly flesh like- (has to be felt to be believed ). Can be pigmented, and for best results dust with talc or baby powder to overcome a slight inherent stickiness. Think STRETCHY! Medium Ultraflex (7 shore A) , 1.8 lb slab......

14 MOLDS: People have asked us over the years if we carry molds, and up until recently we have not. Mold materials has always been our specialty but as with anything if we get enough demand we can usually acquire the appropriate items or materials. Such is the case with premanufactured molds. We are now offering a number of molds of mostly geometric shapes for casting resin and the like. We have available to us a complete line of molds for casting plaster, wax, resin and even candy. These molds consist of both plastic and rubber materials. Unfortunately because of size constraints in this particular catalog, we can only show a few of the things that are available here. For more specific information, please call and we can either get pricing and availability and/or forward to you pictures of what might be appropriate for you. We can also make molds for you from any of the materials that we offer in this catalog for any specific application-call for pricing information.

15 A RELATIVE COMPARISON OF FLEXIBLE MOLD MATERIALS AND THEIR ATTRIBUTES

Whenever a mold making project is begun, it is always a good idea to review some basic requirements before starting. First, what casting medium is going to be cast into the mold? Second, how many reproductions are necessary? Third, how long is the mold to be kept? Fourth, what form of mold is to be made? (Is the mold going to be an open face block or slab mold, is it going to be shelled, etc.) Once these questions have been answered, it is then much simpler to choose the proper mold material for any given project.

MOLD MATERIAL USES ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES Mainly used as a mold Low cost, low toxicity, Making a mold is very time consuming LATEX material for casting easy to use, very tough; and tedious. Not very heat or solvent various kind of Portland molds last a long time resistant and as such latex is not well and gypsum cements. when casting cements. suited for casting waxes or plastics, but can be made to work with these media on a limited basis.

16 MOLD RELEASE AGENTS: These materials can make the difference as to whether your mold will give you 10 parts or 100 parts, so it is important to choose the proper mold release for any combination of mold making and casting compound. We carry a wide variety of types and often there may be more than one mold release agent that will work for your process. In general these materials fall into two categories: barrier coats and lubricants, and sometimes it is advantageous to use a barrier with a lubricant for best results. Please review the chart on pages 23 and 24 for more specific recommendations.

SILICONE SPRAY: This one has been used just about as long as people have been casting plastic resins and still finds use today as a general-purpose release agent for plastics and waxes. The one drawback is that if your cast part is going to be painted when it comes out of your mold, the silicone must be removed so that the paint will stick and not "fisheye". (Naphtha or paint thinner work well to remove silicone.) Do not use as a pattern release when pouring silicone RTV's! 13 0z. aerosol...... MR-1001...... $5.00* Case of 12 cans...... $51.00*...... (%15 discount)

DRY LUBRICANT SPRAY: This release agent consists of fine flakes of tetrafluoroethane (Teflon) in a solvent and as such acts as a barrier and lubricant because of the unique properties of Teflon. Used mainly when casting plastic resins into flexible rubber molds, it is sometimes advantageous to use this material in conjunction with silicone spray for optimum results. 13 oz. aerosol...... MR-1003...... $8.25* Case of 12 cans...... $84.15*...... (15% discount)

MR-150: This release agent consists of petroleum jelly in a mixture of solvents conveniently packaged in an aerosol can and is mainly used for parting silicone RTV's from various pattern materials and from themselves. 13 oz. aerosol...... MR-1005...... $12.55* Case of 12 cans...... $128.00*...... (15% discount)

P.V.A.: (Polyvinyl Alcohol) Still the standard barrier coating material for the fiberglass reinforced plastics industry. P.V.A. is also used as a mold barrier when casting polyester, epoxy or polyurethane resins and foams into most types of rigid molds. Normally used in conjunction with a top coating of paste wax, the film may be removed with water from the cast part once the part has been removed from the mold. 1 Pint......

UNIVERSAL RELEASE We find this to work beautifully as a pattern release for all of the Smooth-On polyurethanes. In addition it's about the best release agent we've ever used for casting resins into flexible molds. For best results, spray a liberal coating onto the surface to be either molded or cast, take a dry brush and spread the Universal Release over the surface to insure complete coverage and respray with a light film onto the surface once again. Allow to dry completely and you're ready to cast! 9.5 oz. Aerosol Can...... MR1078...... $11.45* Case of 12 Cans...... $116.80* 1 Gallon...... MR-1078A...... $40.45#

17 POTTER'S SOAP: In the past, this soap was and is still used as a mold release in the ceramics industry when making a plaster mold of a plaster part. It is also useful when making a plaster mold of just about any surface. Today we find that it is also an effective pattern release agent for many of the polyurethane elastomers such as PMC-724 and PMC- 744. It may be used straight from the container as a paste or diluted in water, ethanol or a water/ethanol mixture. Normal ratio is about 4 parts water to 1 part soap. Apply by brush or spray, allow to dry, apply the rubber and you're on your way. The nice part about using this material is that unlike petroleum jelly and some of the other oil based release agents, Potter's Soap may be removed with water once your mold is made. 1 Pint...... MR-1022...... $5.00 1 Quart...... MR-1023...... $9.50 1 Gallon...... MR-1024...... $35.95

MOLD RINSE: If you've ever had the frustration of having cast plaster or Hydrocal into a rubber mold and found upon removing the piece from the mold that it's covered with small bubbles, then you should appreciate this material. By applying a thin coating of Mold Rinse to your mold before you pour plaster into it, you'll eliminate most surface imperfections caused by entrapped surface air. Mold Rinse allows the plaster to thoroughly "wet out" the mold surface and by doing so does away with air entrapment. To use, simply mix 1 ounce of Mold Rinse to 8 ounces of water, spray onto the mold surface and pour immediately. 1 Pint...... MR-1025...... $4.50 1 Quart...... MR-1026...... $6.95 1 Gallon...... MR-1027...... $24.95 5 Gallons...... MR-1028...... $104.95

SONITE WAX: A Smooth-On product, Sonite Wax is used mainly as a pattern release when pouring or applying their PMC and FMC series materials onto most pattern surfaces. A soft wax blend which can be applied as a paste straight from the can or thinned with mineral spirits and brushed or sprayed onto the pattern. 1 Quart...... MR-1029...... $13.45 1 Gallon......

IN & OUT MOLD RELEASE: This is a concentrated oil soap that is designed for use as a mold release for casting cement and plaster into polyurethane molds. Do Not Use in Latex Molds! Mixed with water and applied to the mold surface by spraying or brushing. 1 gallon...... MR-1079...... $23.50

PETROLATUM: One of those products, which has found use as the “universal” release agent. (Commonly called "Vaseline"-another one of those trade names that is used like a generic name.) May be used as a pattern release when pouring or applying polyurethane and silicone RTV's onto a variety of substrates. Use straight from the container, or thin with paint thinner or naphtha 10 to 1. Is also used as a release agent when making plaster molds- the biggest problem is that it leaves a greasy film which may need to be removed with paint thinner. Do Not use with latex rubber molds! May also be used as a modifier for a variety of waxes, simply by melting and blending with hot wax. 1 Pint...... MR-1033...... $4.15 1 Quart...... MR-1034...... $7.50 1 Gallon...... MR-1035...... $21.60 5 Gallons...... MR-1036...... $83.80

18 EASE RELEASE 1700, EASE RELEASE 2300: We try to keep things simple by providing the most versatile mold release agents available but these two seemed necessary to fill a gap in our current offering. We are currently selling a wide variety of polyurethane foams and have had numerous requests for an aerosol release for these materials. These two items will fill that bill, and allow the urethane foams to be cast into a wide variety of mold materials. The 1700 is a paintable material while the 2300 must be thoroughly removed before finishing your cast part. Ease Release 1700, 14 oz. Aerosol Can….…MR-1006…...... $10.95 Ease Release 2300, 12 oz.

Ease Release 200: EASE RELEASE 200 is an excellent general purpose release agent for making molds and casting parts. This product will release polyurethane elastomers, epoxy resin, polyester resins, RTV silicones, rubber, and thermoplastic polymers. EASE RELEASE 200 is effective on aluminum, chrome, RTV silicone, epoxy, rubber, and steel molds. Again, the key words here are “general purpose”. What this means is that although this has broad use applications, there is generally something that is better in specific areas, but if you want to simplify your inventory of mold release agents, ER 200 can be that player. 14 oz. Aesosol Can...... MR-1082...... $11.45

CASTOR OIL: Derived from the castor bean, this material finds use mainly as a mold release when pouring portland and gypsum cements into rubber molds. Safe to use on latex rubber molds, Castor Oil will not gum up like many other vegetable oils. To use, dilute with ethanol (4 parts ethanol: 1 part castor oil) and spray or brush onto the mold surface. Allow to dry and pour your part. 1 Pint...... MR-1042...... $5.30 1 Quart......

STEARIC ACID: A beef tallow derivative, this material is really about the best release agent for making plaster molds, or plaster castings from plaster molds. Also finds use when making cement castings from plaster molds. To use, Stearic Acid must be diluted with kerosene. Simply melt the Stearic Acid like you would a wax and add 1 part stearic to 2 parts kerosene by volume. Mix thoroughly and use either warm or cold. (It is usually best to warm your kerosene by setting your container in a bath of warm water before adding the Stearic Acid.) When warm this material is a liquid, when cooled, it is much like a paste wax. Also referred to as stearine. 1 lb...... MR-1061...... $2.95 5 lb...... MR-1062...... $9.95 10 lb......

SUPER SEAL- This is a great product from Smooth-on. When applying a polyurethane moldmaking rubber it is sometimes necessary to seal the model. (i.e. wood or plaster...) Super Seal will not damage or change the surface quality of the model. You can wash it off with soap and water. This is not a mold release. It is a sealer to use in place of shellac or paint which can take 6 - 24 hours to dry. If you don't happen to have all day to wait Super Seal drys in 30 min. 1 Pint……….$17.15 1 gallon......

In general, surface treatments are given in order of preference. We suggest that when using a new mold material always test for compatibility with any given model surface. The following is a brief formulary for some of the release agents given. Stearine/Kerosene=1 part melted stearine:2 parts kerosene Soap Solution=1 part potter's soap:4 parts water Petrolatum/Naphtha=1 part petrolatum:10 parts naphtha (mineral spirits or paint thinner will work for this as well) 21

22 EPOXY AND POLYESTER RESINS: When asked what the difference between epoxy and polyester resins is, I've often said it's sort of like the difference between a dog and a cat; they both have four legs and fur, but they're completely different animals. It's much the same with these resins; the finished product may look similar when completed, and the resins may even work in a similar fashion in that both types consist of two parts, but they are completely different polymers. We won't go into an elaborate chemistry lesson here, because I don't believe it's necessary to make these materials work for you. If you have any questions about the compatibility of these materials with various fillers and reinforcements, ask us first; if we don't have an answer for you it's never that big of a deal to do a small test which can save time and money in the long run.

BONDING RESIN: This is an unwaxed, general purpose polyester and is used mainly for forming laminates with various types of fiberglass fabrics and fillers. Being unwaxed simply means that there is no preparation necessary to enable one layer to adhere to the next when laminating. In our business, we recommend it as a basic building block for making a wide variety of casting materials as well; i.e. cold casting. By blending with various metal powders, mineral or wood fillers, it is possible to enhance this rather mundane material to simulate everything from bronze to terrazzo. There are a couple of exceptions though; never mix with redwood sawdust, pure copper powder or the umber pigments. These materials have a tendency to either accelerate or inhibit the cure of polyester resins. 1 Quart...... PR-1002...... $10.80* 1 Gallon...... PR-1003...... $37.50* 5 Gallons......

WATER EXTENDABLE POLYESTER: This is a material we've debated about carrying for a long time now and have finally come to the conclusion that it can definitely fill some of your needs out there. Basically how this material works is that water (that's right good old H2O) is added to the base resin and becomes a filler-a very cheap filler. Up to 60% water to 40% resin may be used without adversely affecting the performance of the resin. Cures to a sort of off white, bone like consistency. Will accept colorants and other fillers as well to give stone or wood textures and colors. One of those in between materials if you find that gypsum cements are too brittle, but polyester or polyurethane resin is too costly or toxic to deal with. May be used in polyurethane, silicone and even latex molds for limited productions runs with the application of the proper release agent. 1 Quart...... PR-1049...... $13.65* 1 Gallon......

CLEAR CASTING RESIN: The name says it all. This is a clear polyester that is well suited for making clear castings or filled castings where color control is a must. There are some limitations when making unfilled castings, though. Because of shrinkage and exotherm, castings over one inch thick should be done in layers to avoid cracking and catalyst must be added cautiously to keep exotherm to a minimum. 1 Quart......

23 POLYESTER GEL COAT: Put simply, this is a thickened polyester laminating resin. Specifically, this material is used when making fiberglass molds or parts from molds, and is used as the first coating to insure a resin rich coating on the outside of the part being produced. This is a tougher type of resin than our standard polyester resin and will give a durable glossy finish to your parts. Available in black, white or clear (which can be pigmented to suit your needs.)

POLYESTER CATALYST: This is what makes it go. Without polyester catalyst, polyester resin would never harden. (well, almost never) We provide you with the appropriate amount for any quantity of resin you might buy, but if you need additional material because you're in a hurry, or maybe it's a little cold where you are working, we can sell you that too. 1/2 oz......

SURFACING AGENT: This is a wax additive that may be combined with Polyester resin to achieve more water proof surface. This must be used in the the last coat as the resin will not stick to itself after this is added. Do not use this material if you are going to paint the surface of your resin part. Mix at the same ratio as you would the polyester catalyst. 2 oz...... $1.50...... PR-1045 1 qt...... $9.00...... PR-1047 1 gallon...... $28.00...... PR-1048

COBALT NAPHTHENATE: This is the part that's in the polyester resin and reacts with the polyester catalyst to cause everything to polymerize. Generally, more is not needed, but if it happens to be cold or you just want to increase the reactivity of the resin you're using, adding as little as 1/4% to the resin can help to speed things along without having to change your catalyst ratio.

EPOXY RESIN: We carry two different resins and really the only difference is that one is a low viscosity version of the other. Epoxies generally can be used for anything that polyester can be used for and will give you a tougher finished product. The only thing that epoxy cannot do better than polyester is give you a clear casting or withstand exposure to sunlight. Epoxies are better suited for use with the higher performance fabrics such as graphite and kevlar, and they work equally as well with glass fabrics. (Not recommended for use with fiberglass mat.) You'll spend more money for epoxy, but if more strength is what you need, this could be the way to go. Epoxy resin #7828 is the high viscosity, undiluted resin, #7132 is the lower viscosity, diluted version.

24 EPOXY HARDENER: There are literally dozens of hardeners available today, and they are all compatible with either of the resins we offer. We sell two hardeners and one of these two will pretty much do anything you might ever want to do with epoxy resin. First, we have type 8140. This is probably the easiest type of hardener to use because it can be used in a variety of ratios with either of our resins. We sell it as a 2 to 1 system, that is 2 parts resin to 1 part hardener, but it can be used 1 to 1 or even 3 to 1 and the resin will still cure. This particular hardener is the exception rather than the rule; the rule being that the mix ratio of resin to hardener is a fixed ratio and should be followed explicitly. In general, this ratio is given by weight also, and varying from this ratio will give incomplete cures in the resin system. Again type 8140 hardener is the exception to this rule and works well if you need a general purpose epoxy to use as an adhesive or one that you can add fillers to and cast in large masses. Pot life at 70 degrees is 2-3 hours. Next we have type 2001 hardener. Like the type 8140, mix ratio is 2 to 1. Unlike the 8140, using 2001 means that ideally the resin and hardener should be weighed to obtain optimum results. This hardener is a clear, low viscosity hardener and is well suited for use when laminating with epoxy and various reinforcing fabrics. It will cure in the presence of moisture and even as low as 50 degrees F. Using type 2001 hardener will give tough, durable, clear (unless pigmented) parts. Pot life at 70 degrees is 30-40 minutes. This hardener is somewhat corrosive, and should be kept off of the skin. (Actually, all epoxies and hardeners should be kept off of the skin because these materials are all sensitizers, which means they can cause allergic reactions if contacted often enough and long enough.) Although we sell our epoxy resins without hardener if so desired, generally the resin is sold with the hardener and prices are shown in the price list for each size and the corresponding size hardener that is included with it.

EPOXY TOOLING COMPOUND: This is an aluminum filled compound that was designed for use when making molds for vacuum forming. May be used with either of the hardeners we offer, but generally if casting fairly large molds, we recommend using hardener type 8140 to keep exotherm to a minimum. Available in 3 lb., 11 lb., 22 lb. and 55 lb. containers.

25 POLYURETHANE FOAMS AND CASTING RESINS: This is a family of materials that has really grown in the numbers of variations available over the past ten years or so. We have systems that look and feel like nylon, others that are semiflexible and many others that are hard, both for mass casting and thin wall casting. Most of these materials are easy to use in that they are a one to one mix ratio, but for the most part polyurethanes do not like moisture. Adding fillers can be a problem unless the filler is absolutely DRY-and just because it feels dry doesn't mean that it is dry. All powders contain a certain amount of ambient moisture which is undetectable until you mix it in these resins and that moisture will rear it's ugly head in the form of bubbles in your castings. In some cases this can even cause foaming of the resin being used. All of these materials can be colored, but only with special urethane compatible colorants--see the pigments section. We recommend when casting any of these resins into a flexible rubber mold that that mold be made out of a good grade silicone, otherwise these materials will have a tendency to stick to your mold. It's also a good idea to use the proper release agent to optimize mold life. In general wax type release agents like our Ease Release 2831, 1700, 2300 or Universal Release work well. So-- let's see what we've got.

TASK 2 URETHANE RESIN: Task 2 is an ultra low viscosity casting resin which offers high tensile (6650 psi) and compressive (8300 psi) strength. It has a pot life of 7 minutes and one hour demold. Mix ratio is one to one by volume Color: White. Shore D Hardness: 80 2X 1 pint set...... CR-1070...... $23.00 2X 1 gallon set...... CR-1071...... $117.25

TASK 4 URETHANE RESIN: (formerly C-1511) This is a really great product for those prototype builders out there. Made specifically for thin wall casting up to 1/2" thick, TASK 4 is a low viscosity material that pours well to capture all of that fine detail. Formulated to look and feel like ABS when cured. Mix ratio is one to one by weight. Color: Ivory. Shore D Hardness:80 2X 1 pint set...... CR-.1010...... $23.00 2X 1 gallon set...... CR-1011...... $138.95 2X 5 gallon set...... CR-1012...... $541.70

TASK 6 URETHANE RESIN: (formerly C-1506) Sister product to the Task 5 resin, Task 6 offers longer pot life for those of you who need just a little more time to get it where you need it. Again, one to one by weight or volume mix ratio. Color: Tan. Shore D Hardness: 79. 2X 1 pt. set...... CR-1005...... $23.00 2X 1 gallon set...... CR-1007...... $114.10 2X 5 gallon set......

TASK 9 URETHANE RESIN: A translucent (clear amber) casting resin which has extremely high tensile (7800 psi), compressive (11000 psi), and flexural (11850 psi) strength. It offers a 7 minute pot life, and one hour demold. Mix ratio is one to one by volume. Color: Clear Amber. Shore D Hardness:85 2X 1 pint set...... CR-1086...... $23.00 2X 1 gallon set...... CR-1087...... $117.25

SMOOTH CAST 325/326: These are special ones. Not exactly water white /water clear, but transparent nonetheless and you will find these useful when you want to make your castings a masstone as compared to a pastel. Most of the other urethane resins we carry (Insta-Cast, etc.) are opaque and generally white or off white by nature. So, if you want your castings to be navy blue instead of baby blue, use this material and you can use the same pigment to achieve those deep colors. The 326 is the slower setting version if you need a little more working time. Works pretty well as a medium for cold metal casting too! 2X 1 pint set......

The 300 Offers a 3 min. pot life and 10 min.cure the Q is 30 second pot life and 4-5 minute cure time. The 300Q is also a good one for casting into Dermagel or Moulage molds as it sets so fast that it doesn’t have time to react to the moisture. 70D hardness. 2X 1 pint set......

INSTA-CAST OFF WHITE AND WHITE URETHANE RESINS: Both of these resins are now odorless! These are really work horses. We probably sell more of these resins than any of the other resins we offer just because they're so easy to use. Mix ratio is one to one by volume, and demold time is about seven minutes. Very low viscosity materials, so they'll pick up all of the detail in your mold. Off White cures to an ivory color, White to a bright white. Insta- Cast will readily accept glass microballoons as a filler if you want to lighten your castings and save a few bucks in the process. Use the Off White if adding dark colors, White for pastels or if you want a nice white substrate to paint onto. The White is slightly lower viscosity than the Off White. 2X 1 pint set......

SHELL SHOCK SLOW AND SHELL SHOCK FAST: These are thixotropic plastics that self thicken when mixed and can be brushed onto a variety of surfaces or into rubber molds. When Parts A and B are mixed in proper proportion (1A:4B by volume or 1A:5B by weight), material cures at room temperature with virtually no shrinkage to a hard, durable plastic that exhibits good compressive and flexural strength. Fully cured castings are rigid and can be sanded, primed and painted. Can be easily colored by the addition of our urethane tints or the So-Strong colorants. Available in gallon or 5 gallon sets. Fast Slow Gallon set...... CR-1073...... CR-1074...... $61.35 5 Gallon Set...... CR-1074B...... CR-1074A...... $279.30

27

CRYSTAL CLEAR 200, 202: These are a water clear tough resins that will not yellow like some of the polyester types. The down side is that they are extremely moisture sensitive and even using a wooden stick for stirring can introduce enough moisture to cause problems. May be modified with So-Flex to produce a water clear rubber anywhere from Shore A of 100 down to Shore A50. Mix ratio is one to one by volume. Special Order ONLY Call for price and sizes.

SO CURE: Essentially an accelerator for the Task resins. Allows you more control so that you can speed up the cure of a part if it is small, or just speed up the process if you're in a hurry. 1 pint...... C-1502C...... $12.95 1 Gallon...... C-1502C-1G...... $51.75

Available in in unfilled castings, statuary. water clear version for clear potential for high exotherm casting during cure. Polyester resin is probably the most versastile resin available. It can be used for casting, laminating or coating. A wide variety of fillers is available to enhance the resin to simulate everything from marble to bronze. It can be thickened or reinforced by the addition of various silica thickeners and fibrous reinforcing agents such as glass, polypropylene, graphite or kevlar.

THREE POUND DENSITY RIGID URETHANE FOAM: This product is mostly used as a filler, but works well as a casting medium if used properly. The problem is that if you're trying to fill a mold, and you have no way to make it go into all of your detail, it will take the path of least resistance and just foam right out the top. In order to get it to fill that detail, it must be "packed", that is it must be poured into an enclosed mold so that it builds some back pressure and is forced into all of the detail. In order to do this, the volume of the mold first needs to be estimated. Then the mold must be capped and an excess amount of foam must be poured into that mold. In other words, if your mold is one cubic foot in volume, you need to pour enough foam that would normally free rise to approximately 1.1 cubic foot. So, if you are using a three pound density foam you need to mix 1.6 pound of part A plus 1.6 pound of part B, which would equal about 1.1 cubic feet of free risen foam. This material also makes a great filler for sculpture made out of other materials such as fiberglass, FGR-95, plaster, etc. Just mix and pour, but be careful not to pour too much; this stuff can develop a lot of pressure and will crack and/or distort your piece if given the chance. Mix ratio is one to one by weight and it must be mixed thoroughly in order to work properly. Priced the same as the 4,6 and 10 pound rigid foams.

To use it, find the material your mold is made from in the first column. Then find the casting material you would like to pour into that mold. Finally in the third column you will find recommended mold release agents that will be compatible with your medium.

FIBER REINFORCEMENTS: Today there are a wide variety of sophisticated fabrics available to anyone who might want to produce a plastic composite structure. We carry a sampling of these and by no means is what we carry everything that is available; but by the same token, unless you are building a high tech racing boat or light weight aircraft, what we offer will surely give you enough choices to optimize your project. There are three basic fibers that we present for the simple as well as the complex projects that you might have. First and foremost we have fiberglass, the fiber that started it all. Essentially we offer two basic types; E glass and S glass. The difference between the two is that because of the chemical composition of each of these materials they have different physical properties. E glass is the more common and less expensive material, while S glass is a stronger and somewhat more expensive fabric. We offer the S glass in a 4 ounce and 6 ounce (per square yard) fabric 30 inches wide. (generally, woven fabrics are given in weight per square yard while nonwoven fabrics or mats are given in weight per square foot) This is what we like to consider the "go between" material. It offers you increased physical properties over the more common E glass type fabrics without having to go to the much higher cost of kevlar and graphite fibers. Essentially, by using 6 ounce S glass one can get the same strength characteristics as using a 9 ounce E glass. So you can see that already you can save 3 ounces per square yard per layer in weight when producing a laminate with this type of fabric. We carry E glass fabrics in a multitude of weights and types; all 38 inches wide. We have fabrics in 1.5, 3, 6, 7.5, and 9 ounces per square yard. Mat is available in 3/4, 1, 1.5 and 2 ounce weights, although the 1.5 ounce is the only type that we sell in less than roll quantities, and woven roving is available in 24 ounce weight only. Kevlar (or aramid) fabric is a relative newcomer on the composite scene along with graphite and these two fibers differ greatly not only in the way that they are used, but in the way that they perform in a laminate. Graphite is a very rigid fiber, while Kevlar is a very tough fiber so that if you had two laminates side by side with similar amounts of Kevlar in one and graphite in the other, and you struck each of them with a hammer, chances are that the hammer would just go right through the graphite laminate, while it might just bounce off of the Kevlar laminate. In other words, if it's toughness that you need, Kevlar might be the material to use, whereas if you need rigidity, chances are that you'd do better to include some graphite in your laminate. And remember, it's not necessary to use just one type of fiber in a given construction; sometimes it works to your advantage to combine different types of fabrics to get the best of both. Anyway, Kevlar we have available in a 5 ounce, 38 inch fabric, and graphite we offer in a 5.7 ounce, 42 inch woven fabric and a 9 ounce 12 inch unidirectional fabric. In general, all of the fabrics mentioned above will work with both polyester and epoxy resins, the exceptions being the kevlar and the fiberglass mats, and we recommend that if you are going to use kevlar, you should use epoxy resin because polyester just won't stick to it that well, and if you are using fiberglass mat, polyester is the only viable choice. Specialty fabrics: We should mention that we do carry a few specialty fabrics that have some rather unusual uses. First, we carry surfacing mat or veil which is a very light glass veil that is used as a first layer when producing a fiberglass mold or part and will prevent "print through" of the texture of the backup layers of standard glass fabrics or mats when making a mold or part from that mold. Second, we carry a polyester fabric called Nexus that is used mainly as a consolidant for corrosion resistant polyester coatings, but we find it to be quite useful in those applications where fiber strength is not the primary criterion such as lining a darkroom sink or other small tank, or coating plywood for weather resistance. And finally, we carry a 1/4 ounce glass veil that is sized with a special acrylic material for use with FGR-95 gypsum cement.

MILLED FIBERS AND CHOPPED STRANDS: This is bulk glass fiber that is used to make a premix with polyester or epoxy resin for situations where laminating is either impossible or tedious and where strength to weight ratios are not all that important. For example, when building a mother mold over a complex rubber mold, it is much easier to make a paste with chopped strands and a little bit of thixo powder and apply this directly to the mold with a spatula rather than try to laminate layers of fiberglass mat and/or cloth onto such a surface. Chopped strands are available in 1/2" and 1/4" lengths, and milled fibers are available in 1/32”. We also carry an alkaline resistant chopped glass strand (1/2"), and alkaline resistant gun roving for incorporating into portland cement for added reinforcement. In addition, we have available continous strand roving for use with chopper guns.

CLAYS: We carry a lot of different types and hardnesses of clay to enable you to be able to choose a clay that best suits your needs. For economy we offer three different kinds of water based modeling clays. For fine modeling we offer professional grade plastilenes from both Chavant and Sculpture House; and for utility we offer a good grade of plastilene from Sculpture House. We really do have something for everyone!

WATER BASED CLAYS: We are not really in the ceramics business and as such the clays we offer are not especially good for firing, but they are good for modeling. First we have Raku clay; a coarse textured, general purpose clay for all kinds of modeling at an economical price. Next we offer a low fire white clay that is great for modeling and the kids can even use if for those projects where they might want a self hardening clay at a reasonable price. Finally, we have WED clay which is a slow drying water based clay developed originally for Walt Disney Studios. It contains a retarder which slows the drying process and enables you to work longer without having to worry about drying and shrinkage. Not quite like an oil based clay but great for those large models where cost is a real issue. 25 lbs. 50 lbs. 100 lbs. 500 lbs. 1000 lbs. 2000 lbs.

PLASTERS AND GYPSUM CEMENTS: As distributors for United States Gypsum, we offer some of their best products for mold making and casting. All of these materials are easily modified with a wide variety of colorants and additives for special effects, but will work well just by themselves. As always, a little experimenting goes a long way toward achieving that special look, and these materials are not only easy to use, but economical as well. We've tried to keep everything as simple as possible by carrying just the 50 lb. bag size of each product. Not only does this save us the trouble of having to inventory both 50 and 100 pound sizes of everything it allows us to ship all of these items by UPS if needed and most importantly it will save our backs and yours as well from having to lift those heavy 100 pound bags. For convenience, we repack all of the USG products we sell in 10 pound bags.

NO. 1 MOULDING PLASTER: Also referred to as casting plaster or plaster of Paris, this is an extremely versatile material. Used by itself, it is still the standard for making mother molds for most flexible mold materials. As a sculptural medium, plaster has what is called a "period of plasticity" where it becomes clay like for a short time and can actually be modeled or sculpted. Is easily added to in this state as well. Simply use a little sisal, burlap or polypropylene fiber to reinforce this product and you're on your way. Great for general purpose casting and mold making as well, and is even used for body casting; but be careful, it can get HOT! 10 lb. bags...... $4.50...... SC-1084 50 lb. bags...... $17.50...... SC-1085 5-9 50 lb. bags...... $15.75/ea. 10-19 50 lb. bags...... $14.88/ea. 20-29 50 lb. bags...... $14.00/ea. 30-39 50 lb. bags ...... $13.13ea. 40 or more 50 lb. bags...$12.25/ea.

WHITE HYDROCAL: If you like plaster, but would like something a little harder, then this is probably the material for you. A bright white, medium hard gypsum cement, White Hydrocal can be used for all of those casting situations where plaster might be used, and it also has plasticity like plaster but will give you more "green" strength so that those fine details won't have a tendency to break off when demolding your castings. This product may also be used for hollow casting of large objects to save weight and is somewhat carvable. 10 lb. bags...... $5.75...... SC-1095 50 lb. bags...... $21.75...... SC-1095 5-9 50 lb. bags...... $19.56/ea. 10-19 50 lb. bags...... $18.49/ea. 20-29 50 lb. bags...... $17.40/ea. 30-39 50 lb. bags ...... $16.31ea. 40 or more 50 lb. bags...... $15.23/ea.

ULTRACAL 30: All gypsum cements and plasters expand upon setting, but this one expands the least. So if it's pattern making you're into, this is probably the product to use. A very pale grey color, Ultracal 30 seems to be the material of choice for latex and latex foam casting. A hard material when cast, and is somewhat difficult to tool upon removal from the mold, but will yield to any of the commonly used riffler files and the like. 10 lb. bags...... $6.50...... SC-1104 50 lb. bags...... $24.20...... SC-1105 5-9 50 lb. bags...... $21.78/ea. 10-19 50 lb. bags...... $20.57/ea. 20-29 50 lb. bags...... $19.36/ea. 37 30-39 50 lb. bags...... $18.15/ea. 40 50 lb. bags or more..$16.94/ea.

TUFSTONE: A polymer modified, fiber reinforced gypsum cement created from a hydrostone base. Has much better flexural and impact strength than unreinforced material. This is a very fine grained gypsum cement, off white in color and very dense. Retains high compressive strength of base material and is normally used for making high detail castings. Not recommended for "building", this material does not have a period of plasticity and works best when casting into rubber molds, and must be tooled immediately upon removal from the mold as it becomes very hard on curing. 10 lb. bags...... $7.95...... SC-1114 50 lb. bags...... $30.42...... SC-1115 5-9 50 lb. bags ...... $27.38/ ea. 10-19 50 lb. bags...... $25.86ea. 20-29 50 lb. bags...... $24.34/ea. 30-39 50 lb. bags...... $22.82/ea. 40 50 lb. bags or more....$21.29/ea.

FGR-95: A very special product that is extremely versatile. Originally intended for use as a laminating material with fiberglass for thin wall construction, FGR-95 can also be cast (although the people at U.S. Gypsum may not admit it) into a wide variety of mold materials. A bright white in color, this material lends itself very well to accepting a multitude of modifiers and additives. (see the section on Forton MG/Matrix G) Fine aggregates can be used with it; metal powders can be used with it; the possibilities are endless. It is even modified with a retarder to give you ample working time, and when cured, has a ceramic like feel. 10 lb. bags...... $7.00...... SC-1124 50 lb. bags...... $27.75...... SC-1125 5-9 50 lb. bags...... $24.98/ea. 10-19 50 lb. bags...... $23.59/ea. 20-29 50 lb. bags...... $22.20/ea. 30-39 50 lb. bags...... $20.81/ea. 40 50 lb. bags or more...... $19.43/ea.

DRYSTONE: A relative newcomer, this amazing material is the hardest, densest gypsum cement and requires only 22 parts water to every 100 parts Drystone. Mechanical mixing is an absolute must with this material. The name is derived from the fact that it is essentially dry when it is demolded and requires no oven drying. Parts can be decorated and shipped on the same day as the castings are made. Surface may be polished with wax to give a stone like appearance. 10 lb. bags...... $9.00...... SC-1136 50 lb. bags...... $34.00...... SC-1137 5-9 50 lb. bags...... $30.60/ea. 10-19 50 lb. bags...... $28.90/ea. 20-29 50 lb. bags...... $27.20/ea. 30-39 50 lb. bags...... $25.50/ea. 40 50 lb. bags or more...$23.80/ea.

DURACAL: The original exterior grade gypsum cement is back. Because we've had so many requests for an exterior product we've brought back Duracal. Will withstand the elements and accept aggregates just like most Portland cements. 10 lb. bag...... $7.75...... SC-1138 50 lb bags...... $28.95...... SC-1139 5-9 50 lb, bags...... $26.05/ea. 10-19 50 lb. bags...... $24.60/ea. 20-29 50 lb. bags...... $23.16/ea. 30-39 50 lb. bags...... $21.71/ea. 40 50 lb. bags or more.....$20.27/ea. 38

PLASTER RETARDER AND ACCELERATOR: It seems that the plaster you use is never quite fast or slow enough for that project you may be working on at any given time. Well now you have CONTROL with these products. If you want to slow down the set time of your plaster (by plaster we mean any of the plasters or gypsum cements) add a little plaster retarder to your water before you add the plaster and you'll have more working time. Conversely, if you need to speed things along, add a little accelerator to your mix and hold on to your hat. Available in two pound tubs. Plaster Retarder...... SC-1198...... $4.95 Plaster Accelerator...... SC-1198A...... $4.95

WAXES: When casting bronze, wax is usually the intermediate casting material, and we offer a complete line of waxes, both natural and synthetic. Some of these waxes are meant to be used directly as a modeling compound, and all of them may be cast into various kinds of mold materials from plaster to rubber.

MICROCRYSTALLINE WAX: The standard casting wax used in bronze foundries for years, microcrystalline waxes have taken the place of natural waxes such as beeswax because of lower cost and availability. These materials are relatively soft at room temperature, and when warmed may be modeled by hand, otherwise metal and wooden tools are utilized for this purpose. BROWN: The most commonly used wax for lost wax bronze casting today, because of it's warm brown color and lower cost than the other types. 1 lb...... $5.60...... SC-1159 11 lb. slab...... $28.80...... SC-1160 62 lb. case...... $155.50...... SC-1161

AMBER: A soft yellow wax that is much "cleaner" than the brown, but having essentially the same physical properties. A food grade wax that is sometimes used as an inexpensive replacement for yellow beeswax for encaustic painting. The amber wax is slighly harder than the brown. 1 lb...... $5.95...... SC-1164 11 lb. slab...... $33.00...... SC-1165 66 lb. case...... $178.20...... SC-1166

WHITE: The lightest colored microcrystalline wax, this material is almost exclusively used as a substitute for bleached beeswax where purity of color is necessary for encaustic painting. Also a food grade wax. The white is the hardest of the microcrystalline waxes that we carry. 1 lb...... $4.60...... SC-1169 11 lb. slab...... $26.50...... SC-1170 55 lb. case...... $119.20...... SC-1171

PARAFFIN: Commonly used as a candle making wax, paraffin is also used to harden the microcrystalline waxes where a little harder wax is desired. Somewhat brittle, so normally when adding to the softer waxes, a little goes a long way. For those of you doing canning, this is a good sealing wax. 1 lb...... SC-1174...... $1.75 11 lb. slab...... SC-1175...... $12.95 55 lb. case...... $58.95

RED CASTING WAX: This is a hard red wax, which is used for carving, and can even be machined to a very fine surface. Is also used as a modifier for the softer waxes. 39 1 lb...... $8.50...... SC-1178 10 lbs. or more...... $6.86/lb.

PATCH WAX: This soft pliable wax is great for patching those small holes and voids in your wax castings before they go into the investment. Easily applied and smoothed with your finger to match the surrounding area on your sculpture. Red color, 1 lb. can SC-1340………..$16.25

STICKY WAX: This wax is essentially a glue that is used hot for applying sprues to a wax sculpture or casting. To use simply heat in a pot, dip your sprue and stick onto your model. 1 lb...... 5.50...... SC-1181 Slabs...... $4.40/lb.(approximately 8-11 lbs.)

BEESWAX: Historically, beeswax was used as a modeling and casting material for the lost wax process, but because of the lower cost of the microcrystalline waxes, it's mostly used for encaustic painting today. And the sweet honey smell is unbeatable! Available in both Yellow and Bleached. Use the bleached for its purity and truer color when adding pigments for encaustic painting. 1 lb. Yellow...... SC-1182...... $11.50 1 lb. Bleached...... SC-1184...... $10.00 10 or more yellow...... $9.20/lb. 10 or more Bleached...... $8.00/lb.

SPRUE WAX: For those of you who don't want to make your own, we offer a complete line of sizes in both round and square (except for 1/8" which comes in round only). Mix and match sizes to get best price as this material is sold by the pound. All are two feet long and sizes 1/2" and greater are hollow to save weight (and money). 1/8" Round 1/4" Round 3/8" Round 1/2" Round 3/4" Round 1" Round 1-9 lb. $7.47 $6.99 $6.51 $5.77 $4.23 $4.23 10-24 lb. $6.54 $6.11 $5.70 $5.05 $3.70 $3.70 25 lb. + $5.94 $5.56 $5.18 $4.59 $3.36 $3.36 Each $.08 $.30 $.66 $.73 $1.23 $1.95 ROUND SC-1141 SC-1142 SC-1143 SC-1144 SC-1145 SC-1146 SQUARE SC-1148 SC-1149 SC-1150 SC-1151 SC-1152 ¼” Square 3/8” Square ½” Square ¾” Square 1” Square 1-9 lbs. $6.51 $5.56 $4.03 $4.03 $3.84 10-24 lbs. $5.70 $4.86 $3.53 $3.53 $3.36 25 lbs. + $5.18 $4.442 $3.20 $3.20 $3.06 Each $.35 $.61 $.69 $1.60 $2.89

OTHER SCULPTURAL MEDIA and ODDS ‘n ENDS: MASTERWORKS M-1: Masterworks M-1 is a non-toxic, water based resin hybrid. It’s weird science at work. Opaque off-white in color, this composite material can be used in most applications as a non toxic alternative to epoxy and polyester resins(except where clarity is a criterion). It is primarily used with fiberglass reinforcement, such as our 3/4 oz chopped strand mat or the ¾ oz. veil. It can be easily pigmented, and can be used to ‘cold cast’ atomized metal powders.

PAPER MACHE: This bulk material isn't quite clay and it isn't quite paper mache; I would have to say it's somewhere in between. But for an economical product it's pretty hard to beat. Simply add water and sculpt away. Because it has a little plaster in it this material will harden somewhat in a couple of hours and when it's dry, ooh-la-la! Finish with everything from plaster to epoxy to get the effect you want. It's non-toxic for the kids too! 5 lb. bag...... SC-1186...... $7.25 10 lb. bag...... SC-1187...... $10.95 25 lb. bag......

POLYPROPYLENE FIBERS: These fibers may be used as a reinforcing agent in everything from plaster to cement to ceramic clay. They are approximately 3/4" long and to use simply mix into your medium before casting. When finishing the piece, if there are a few fibers sticking out, simply burn them off with a torch. In the case of the ceramic, these fibers will evaporate when the piece is fired. 1 lb...... SC-1191...... $6.50 5 lb...... SC-1192...... $29.25 10 lb......

SISAL: An old standard, Sisal (or hemp, manila) is great to use as a reinforcing agent in plaster. Long fibers can be dipped into the wet plaster and applied to the back of a casting to make it light weight and strong. Sold by the full bale only. Bales are approximately 40 pounds. Bale...... SC-1140...... $127.50

TERRA ALBA: If you want to speed up the setting time of your plaster, hydrocal, etc. use a little of this material. Generally the ratio is one pound of terra alba per hundred pounds of plaster. 1 lb...... SC-1202...... $1.00 5 lb...... $4.00

FLEXIBLE SLIP: This is a great product and it's low tech too. Sometimes called mannequin rubber, flexible slip consists of a mixture of latex rubber and clay and is slip cast into plaster molds to create hollow, light weight , tough parts. This material air dries to the consistency of hard leather. May be painted with acrylic paints. It's fantastic for making things like puppet heads, and display items. Because of the danger of freeze damage we won't ship outside of California from the end of October through the end of April (unless you're willing to take the risk and pay for it first). 1 gallon...... SC-1205...... $39.30 5 gallons...... SC-1207...... $178.00 25 gallons...... SC-1209...... $838.60 50 gallons...... $1560.50

PLASTICO ROK: This is another one that's been around for years. It's a putty similar to some of the modern spackling compounds found in most of the hardware stores, but doesn't shrink upon drying and is much harder than the hardware store variety. We make this one ourselves and find that it is unsurpassed for repairing fine china and porcelain where the surface must be matched. Dries to a rock hard, smooth white texture. 1/4 pint......

ALUMINUM ARMATURE WIRE: If you're building an armature for a sculpture whether it be abstract or figurative, then we probably have the size wire you will need. A relatively soft wire, this material is easy to bend, but if you use the right thickness, it's stiff enough to hold it's shape. Bend it, twist it or wrap it into any shape or configuration you desire. Available in 1/16", 1/8", 3/16", 1/4" and 3/8" thicknesses. Standard lengths as listed below. 1/16"X30'......

MAGIC SCULP: We helped develop this product and feel that it really is the best on the market. Magic Sculp is an epoxy clay that consists of an A component and a B component and when the two of them are kneaded together, the resulting mix becomes a soft, pliable modeling compound that self hardens. Working time will vary somewhat depending on the ambient temperature, but generally is two to three hours. When this stuff hardens, it is like bone, and the nice part about using it is that it can be smoothed with water like a water- 42 based clay, that is until it sets. May be added to in the cured state and when hardened may be sanded, cut, drilled or filed. When you want to make a permanent model out of a clay- like material but don't want to fire it or cast it, this is the material to use. May be finished with any kind of paint. Because it is an epoxy, we recommend that you wear latex gloves when you use it to avoid sensitization of your skin. 2X1/2 pint sets...... SC-1227...... $12.00 2X1 quart sets......

FORTON MG/MATRIX G: If you've been frustrated by trying to put a plaster or gypsum cement sculpture outside only to find that it is slowly dissolving away, then perhaps you should look at Forton MG or Matrix G. Essentially enhancement systems for FGR-95, (see plasters and gypsum cements) these materials not only allow you to use FGR-95 outside, but also will enable you to create sculptures that can look like metal or stone at an economical price with a material that is relatively easy to use. The beauty of these products is that they do not need to be cast solid, but may be cast or laminated hollow with glass fiber reinforcement to create something that is light weight as well. Oh sure, you say, I can do that with cement or fiberglass, which may be true to a certain extent, but try to obtain the fine surface with cement, or avoid the sticky mess with polyester and fiberglass. It can't be done. With the Forton MG/Matrix G systems, we have a go-between material that gives you the best of both worlds. Available in three different sized kits. Small Kit(enough material for 10 lbs. of FGR-95)...... SC-1244...... $29.35 Medium Kit(enough material for 50 lbs of FGR-95)...... SC-1245...... $153.60 Large Kit(enough material for 100 lbs. of FGR-95)...... SC-1246...... $225.50 (2 or more kits, $192.95/ea.)

DAS PRONTO: If it sounds Italian, that's because it is. Das Pronto is a self hardening clay; that is it air dries to a hard consistency. Smooth with water like ceramic clay, and when dry, paint with any kind of paint. Safe for use with the kids too! Available in two colors; Terra Cotta and White. 1/2 kg.

POLYMIX: Polymix is an additive for Portland and gypsum cements, which increases flexural strength, impact strength and reduces water absorption properties. Polymix may also be used when bonding new cement to existing concrete surfaces. Polymix is added as a replacement for some of the water used in the cement mix, varying from 5 to 20 % by weight to cement mix. 1 quart...... SC-1264...... $8.35 1 gallon......

DUOMATRIX C: Matrix C is Smooth-On’s latex additive for portland cement. Matrix C will enhance the physical and performance properties of concrete. (Increased flexural strength, enhanced freeze/thaw, and reduced water absorption.) Matrix C is added as a replacement for some of the water used in the cement mix, normally at 15% by weight of the cement. 5 gallons......

BREAKAWAY GLASS: Breakaway Glass is a blend of Picco-tex and Picco-lastic resins, which as the name implies, is used to create breakable glass props. Breakaway Glass is used by heating the resin to 400f and pouring into your mold. It is remeltable and reusable, however remelting will gradually darken the glass, and for best clarity use fresh material.

LOW MELT ALLOY: Low Melt Alloy is a non-lead, castable white metal that polishes to a silver finish. A Bismuth/Tin alloy with a melting temp of 340f, it is ideal for casting into Platinum RTV silicone rubber molds, such as our SR-2238 & SR-2258. After cooling & polishing, a sealer should be applied to prevent oxidation. Low Melt Alloy, 2 lb. ingot...... SC-1289...... $61.25

44 SOLVENTS: In general we try to offer the safest solvent that will do the job whether it be to thin paint or clean up resin. Let's face it, if you've ever tried to use those solvent substitutes, I'm sure you've found that they might be okay for cleaning up certain resins or paints, but in general a solvent will do a better job, and faster as well. They are a necessary part of our lives. So, use them wisely and safely, and dispose of them properly.

ACETONE: Still the best solvent for cleaning up polyesters, epoxies and polyurethanes. Extremely flammable, so use with caution. 1 quart can...... VS-1002...... $6.75* 1 gallon can...... VS-1003...... $17.80* 5 gallon can...... VS-1004...... $81.75#

CITRUSOLVE: We’ve brought this one back once again. With the ongoing price fluctuations dependent on the status of the orange crop and demand this one is hard to keep in stock at a reasonable price level sometimes. Currently, the price is once again down to earth so we offer it for all of you who like to use it instead of turpentine. As a solvent it is almost identical to turpentine in the way it thins and cleans up oil paints, and it smells good too! Available in quarts, gallons and 5 gallon cans. Quarts...... VS-1006...... $6.95 Gallons...... VS-1007...... $20.95 5 Gallons...... VS-1008...... $97.75

DI BASIC ESTER (DBE): This is a "safe" solvent in that it is a very low toxicity material used for cleaning up polyester, epoxy and polyurethane resins and will do so very nicely. The problem is that it evaporates very slowly. It is not considered a flammable solvent. It has a very high flash point and is classified as a combustible solvent. 1 quart...... VS-1010...... $11.15 1 gallon...... VS-1011...... $35.30 5 gallons...... VS-1012...... $113.95

PHOSFLEX: This isn't really a solvent, but we didn't know where else to put it. Phosflex is a plasticizer that can be used to make things more flexible. Add it to polyester resin with a little wood flour, and it can be nailed. Add it to white glue, and it will make the glue flexible. 1 pint...... VS-1013...... ……...... $6.70 1 quart...... VS-1014...... $8.75 1 gallon...... VS-1015...... $27.90 5 gallons...... VS-1016...... $128.60

ETHYL ALCOHOL (ETHANOL, DENATURED ALCOHOL): This is similar to what gave you that hangover last Saturday morning, but this one is poisonous because of the addition of a denaturant. CANNOT BE MADE NON-POISONOUS! Used for thinning shellac, creating copal varnish or diluting castor oil for spraying as a mold release; oh and use it as a fuel for that alcohol lamp too! 1 quart...... VS-1022...... $7.00* 1 gallon...... VS-1023...... $21.00* 5 gallons...... VS-1024...... $72.90#

45 KEROSENE: The same kind of thing that you may have used in that old kerosene lantern, and we offer it here as the carrier for stearic acid, which is probably the best damn release agent when parting plaster from plaster or plaster from just about anything. To use, mix one part melted stearic to 2 parts kerosene by volume. Applied warm it goes on as a liquid, cooled it works like a paste wax. 1 gallon...... VS-1026...... $12.45*

LACQUER THINNER: This is one of those materials that will vary greatly from one manufacturer to another. The one we offer here is a good quality brushing grade thinner. 1 gallon...... VS-1030...... $18.00* 5 gallons...... VS-1031...... $47.95#

PAINT THINNER: Things are not always what they seem, and if this product were to be named today, it might have a name like "general purpose petroleum distillate". We find that this thinner is great for cleaning up that stray little bit of silicone that may have dribbled out of your cup when you were pouring, or thinning down that varnish that's a little too thick. Anyway it's a clean solvent at a down to earth price. 1 gallon...... VS-1061...... $7.30*

PROPYLENE GLYCOL: Another one of those items that isn't really a solvent, but we've put it here anyway. This liquid is used as a drying retarder for acrylic paints. As any of you know who have used oil paints and then tried to use acrylic paints, they dry too damn fast. Add a little of this and you'll extend your working time so that you can blend or model the surface a little longer. 1 pint...... VS-1036...... $5.40 1 quart...... VS-1037...... $8.50 1 gallon...... VS-1038...... $29.35 5 gallons...... VS-1040...... $131.35

TURPENTINE: Open a can of turpentine and most people immediately have images of an artist's studio. The standard thinner of artist's oils for centuries. 1 quart...... VS-1042...... $5.75* 1 gallon...... VS-1043...... $16.95* 5 gallons...... VS-1044...... $64.95#

VM&P NAPHTHA: Varnish maker's and painter's naphtha. This solvent is a very clean solvent and a relatively fast evaporating solvent which can be used for thinning oils, enamels and removing waxes and silicone oils from castings. 1 quart...... VS-1045...... $6.15* 1 gallon...... VS-1046...... $14.95* 5 gallons...... VS-1047...... $53.50#

XYLENE(Xylol): Industrial grade solvent for thinning acrylic enamels, and especially good for thinning our Rubbercoat. Probably the most toxic solvent we sell, so keep it off you skin and ventilate when using. Available in quarts only. VS-1065...... $11.95

COATING MATERIALS: We have a pretty complete offering of binders for making various kinds of coatings. What we don't have here, you can make with some of the raw materials we offer elsewhere in this catalog, such as damar and turpentine, copal and ethanol, etc.

ART MEDIUM TYPE A: This acrylic polymer emulsion is the basic building block for making all kinds of acrylic paint whether it be artist's acrylic or house paint. Don't be fooled by the name or the price, you'll pay a lot more for name brand materials that won't really do anything more for you except empty your wallet a little faster. To use, simply add your pigment of choice; most are compatible, the exceptions being metallic based pigments, and even they can be used, they just can't be stored in the liquid state. In other words, you want paint? Just take this material and add a little pigment! 1 quart...... CC-1004...... $8.85 1 gallon...... CC-1005...... $27.00 5 gallons...... CC-1006...... $130.25

ART MEDIUM TYPE B: A different polymer type than the Type A, Type B is great for making things like modeling paste and other heavily filled coatings where you might want a lot of texture in the surface, or heavy build up of the coating. Great for making tough, thick coatings for things like styrofoam. Add fillers like whiting, Thixo Powder, Perlite EX or kaolin clay to achieve different effects. Don't be afraid to experiment, the only things that might not be compatible, at least not for long term shelf storage, would be some of the metallic pigments. 1 quart...... CC-1008...... $7.75 1 gallon...... CC-1009...... $22.30 5 gallons...... CC-1010...... $95.45

ACRYLIC THICKENER: This liquid was designed especially for thickening paints, more specifically our Art Medium Type A. To use, simply mix one part thickener to one part water by volume and add this mixture slowly to the Type A medium while stirring vigorously. Much easier to use and much more efficient than powder type thickeners. Viscosity increase is immediately apparent and complete. Add as little or as much as needed for desired effect. (May also be used with other acrylic media and water based polymers, but the pH of the medium must be alkaline) 1 pint...... CC-1061...... $6.25 1 quart...... CC-1062...... $9.95 1 gallon...... CC-1063...... $31.65

CALTRON PLASTIC GLAZE: This is an acrylic based varnish in a mild solvent that is used essentially the same as damar varnish would be used. Non-yellowing water clear material which may also be added directly to artist's oils to accelerate drying and give greater gloss to the finished surface. Use any of the commonly used solvents such as turpentine, mineral spirits, citrusolve, naphtha, etc. May be pigmented with all sorts of pigments and used as the actual painting medium as well. 1 quart...... CC-1013...... $8.95* 1 gallon...... CC-1014...... $27.95* 5 gallons...... CC-1015...... $89.95#

NITROCELLULOSE LACQUER: Cellulose nitrate was one of the first plastics to be synthesized and this is one of the first synthetic coatings to be used on a commercial basis. Easy to use and quick drying, this coating can be used on all kinds of surfaces from plastic to wood. It's possible to recoat a nitrocellulose lacquered surface every 20 minutes or so to build up a nice thick, high gloss coating. 1 pint...... CC-1019...... $6.60* 1 quart...... CC-1020...... $12.50* 1 gallon...... CC-1021...... $43.40* 5 gallons...... CC-1022...... $139.80#

RUBBERCOAT: If you've ever wanted to paint a surface with a rubber paint that wouldn't break down in the sun, then this is the material you need. Essentially a synthetic rubber dissolved in a combination of solvents, Rubbercoat may be sprayed, dipped, or brushed onto all kinds of surfaces from fabric to steel. Comes clear and may be pigmented with most universal tinting colors or dry pigments. 1 quart...... CC-1023...... $15.00* 1 gallon...... CC-1024...... $48.00* 5 gallons...... CC-1025...... $200.00*

CLEAR SHELLAC: Another one of those coatings that's been around forever, but still finds use today as a multi-purpose sealer. Clear shellac makes a great wood sealer, and in the mold making business we find that it is great for isolating incompatible materials. For example, if you are making a silicone rubber mold of an oil-based clay that will inhibit the cure of the silicone, simply seal the surface with shellac and go for it. Is also useful as a separating agent for making multipart latex molds where you might want to brush latex onto latex and not want it to stick. When you're through simply clean the shellac off with ethanol. 1 quart...... CC-1057...... $9.45*...... 1 pint...... CC-1056...... $5.50 1 gallon...... CC-1058...... $29.50* 5 gallons...... CC-1059...... $118.75# SPRAY SHELLAC...... CC-1069...... $7.65

ORANGE SHELLAC: Similar to clear shellac, and can be used for the same sorts of applications, but is a dark, burnt orange color. Makes a great base for antiquing just about any surface. 1 Pint………………CC-1030………..…..$5.40 1 quart...... CC-1031...... $9.35* 1 gallon...... CC-1032...... $28.90* 5 gallons...... CC-1033...... $118.75#

B-I-N PRIMER SEALER This is a super-fast drying, shellac based, white pigmented primer- sealer. Solves adhesion problems, kills stains, 30 minute recoat, great for almost all surfaces. Especially useful for priming those difficult to paint surfaces like Insta-Cast. Use under any paint –oil or water base. Aerosol Can...... CC-1080...... $8.45

PDC-7: A synthetic water based coating which dries to a tough, flexible, clear film and finds use when a resilient coating for various types of foam products. Air dries in approximately 60 minutes. May be colored with Universal tints as well as various dry pigments. 1 gallon...... CC-1077...... $65.00 5 gallons...... CC-1078...... $283.80

48 CEMENTONE SEALER - Cementone sealer is a ready to use, clear, water based sealer for concrete. Protect and seal items such as statues, garden items and floors. It complies with all air-quality management regulations. 1 gallon...... CC-1071...... $30.00

KOLCAUSTICO: A modern wall covering, commonly referred to as Venetian Plaster. Applied with a knife to a properly prepared wall surface, a huge variety of effects are possible by adding pigments of all kinds. A wax coating is usually used as a protectant. The wax may also be colored to give different effects. 1 gallon...... KP/1...... $72.00 5 gallons...... KP/5...... $245.00

BLACK BISON PASTE WAX: This material is commonly used as a wax top coating for wood finishing, but these days we also find it useful as a surface enhancement for Kolcaustico. (see above) Available in Antique Pine, Dark Oak, Georgian Mahogany, Victorian Mahogany, and Neutral. 150 ml...... 311(COLOR)/150...... $12.50 500 ml...... 311(COLOR)/500...... $21.30 5 liter...... 311(COLOR)/5L...... $103.50

SILICONE ANTIFOAM: Not really a coating material, this is primarily used as a defoamer for any water based medium and more specifically the acrylic emulsions we offer. To use mix as little as .5% to your medium and avoid the formation of bubbles when painting. May also be used in some of the casting media like Hydrocal, Tufstone, etc. to keep bubble formation to a minimum. 1 pint...... CC-1073...... $6.95 1 quart...... CC-1074...... $11.95 1 gallon...... CC-1075...... $45.65 5 gallons...... CC-1076...... $164.00

EPOXY COATING COMPOUND: I'm sure you've seen this type of coating in one place or another. It's often used as a decoupage coating where a very heavy, clear coating is desired. Consisting of two components which are mixed one to one by volume, Epoxy Coating Compound is best applied on a horizontal surface where the coating may remain undisturbed for at least 12 hours. Being the consistency of honey, this material allows you to build heavy layers of material with no shrinkage involved. We find that it even makes a great coating for styrofoam if you need a good durable finish. Pigments and dyes may also be added to Epoxy Coating Compound for special effects. 2X 1 pint set...... CC-1038...... $19.00* 2X 1 quart set...... CC-1039...... $30.45* 2X 1 gallon set...... CC-1041...... $103.50* 2X 5 gallon set......

SATIN MEDIUM: We formulated this one for a customer awhile back and find that we have had others request it because of it's reasonable cost. If you are tired of paying those ridiculous prices for a low gloss medium in the traditional art supply stores, try this one and I think you'll find you can save a little money and still get a product that performs well. Add pigments as you would to any other water based medium. Available in 1 gallon and 5 gallon sizes only. 1 Gallon...... ….CC-1082…………..$41.00 5 Gallons...... …CC-1083………….$151.95 49

ARMA PIETRA: New technology stone sealer perfect for use on concrete, brick and granite. Works as a penetrating sealer and does not change the surface look of the stone being treated. Arma Pierta is resistant to both oil and water based materials. Sold as a concentrate and should be diluted one to one by volume with Isopropyl Alcohol. Best used on interior surfaces, but will work outdoors. If using for exterior application, may need to be retreated annually. 1 Quart...... CC-1096...... $16.95 1 Gallon......

ADHESIVES: Choosing the proper adhesive can make or break a sculpture project. We have some that are for specific materials, others that are more general purpose. Whenever choosing an adhesive, look at what is being adhered to what, and what kind of bond is needed to make it work best.

FLOCK ADHESIVE: Special adhesive formulated for gluing rayon flock to various surfaces. 1 pint...... AM-1045...... $5.50 1 quart...... AM-1046...... $12.00 1 gallon...... AM-1046A...... $36.00

ADHESIVE 5,000: This is a general purpose "white" glue and has been around for decades. Slightly flexiblized, Adhesive 5,000 is good for bonding wood, paper, cardboard, and fabric. Cleans up with water, but will create a bond that is somewhat water resistant. 1 pint...... AM-1001...... $6.60 1 quart...... AM-1002...... $9.20 1 gallon...... AM-1003...... $30.80 5 gallons...... AM-1004...... $112.00

FLEX GLUE: A very flexible, more water resistant white glue that is not only good for gluing, but also is great for coating fabric. 1 quart...... AM-1034...... $12.45 1 gallon...... AM-1035...... $34.85 5 gallons...... AM-1036...... $157.00

GOLD SIZE (SLOW): Traditional varnish based glue for applying metal leaf. Dries to the "open time" (that is, the point at which it is tacky and may have leaf applied to its surface) in approximately two hours. 1 pint...... AM-1005...... $17.60* 1 Gallon………….$86.25 1 quart...... AM-1006...... $32.75*

51 GOLD SIZE (FAST): Also a varnish based glue, but this material will reach "open" status in approximately 20 to 30 minutes for those of you who like to apply your leaf a little sooner. 1 pint...... AM-1005Q...... $17.60* 1 Gallon…………$86.25 1 quart...... AM-1006Q...... $32.75*

LABEL AND FOIL ADHESIVE: Although we call this an adhesive, and it is, we also find it makes a good base coat for painting onto those hard to paint surfaces such as polyethylene and vinyl. Mainly used where one might want to use a water based glue for applying metal leaf. It is what we call a pressure sensitive adhesive, that is it never dries to a truly hard, dry surface, but remains tacky which makes it great as a base coat for acrylic paints. And when using it for leafing, if you should happen to get a phone call in the middle of leafing a surface, don't worry, it will still be tacky when you get back to it. 1 pint...... AM-1008A...... $7.45 1 quart...... AM-1008...... $10.85 1 gallon...... AM-1009...... $28.60 5 gallons...... AM-1010...... $129.00

SPRAY ADHESIVE: This is a great, economical spray contact adhesive that works on a wide variety of surfaces. We have even used it for gluing eps foam and Styrofoam, as long as you don’t get it on too heavy. Aerosol can...... #875...... $6.00

WELD-ON 4: This is one of those specific adhesives designed for gluing acrylic to acrylic. Essentially what this material does is dissolve the surfaces being adhered and when it evaporates, the two surfaces become welded together. Water thin, fast set. 1 pint...... AM-1018...... $8.30*

WELD-ON 16: A thickened version of the Weld-On 4 this glue is also designed for use on acrylic only, but because it is thickened, it will fill in slight imperfections in your joint. 5 oz...... AM-1020...... $4.15* 1 pint...... AM-1021...... $9.55*

WELD-ON 4784: A flexible vinyl adhesive for gluing all kinds of vinyls to one another. Clear, syrupy consistency. 2 oz...... AM-1023...... $2.85* 1 pint...... AM-1024...... $13.35*

WELD-ON 1829: General purpose contact cement for adhering plastic laminates to wood and particle board. May also be used to glue latex and foam rubber to itself. 1 pint...... AM-1027...... $9.45*

WELD-ON 3051: If you've ever had the frustration of trying to bond styrofoam to itself or another material with regular contact cement, and found that the styrofoam dissolves, then you'll appreciate this product. Designed specifically for gluing styrofoam to styrofoam, Weld-On 3051 contains a mild enough solvent that it won't eat the styrofoam. Available in gallons only. 1 gallon...... AM-1030...... $57.30#...... 1 pint...... AM-1029...... $11.80

WELD-ON 4052: A general purpose adhesive designed to weld various kinds of plastics to themselves. Works on styrene, ABS, vinyl and acrylic. 1 pint...... AM--1037...... $11.90*

52 SUPER INSTANT EPOXY: Called a five-minute epoxy, three minutes would be more like it. Mixed one to one by volume this material will bond stone, wood, ceramics, metal and some plastics. Not recommended for high strength bonds, but when used as a "clamping" glue along with a 24 hour epoxy, it will hold while the higher strength material has time to set. 5 oz. tube set...... AM-1031...... $12.75

MT-13 EPOXY GLUE: This is a high strength white colored epoxy glue that is great for bonding wood, metal, ceramics, stone and some plastics. Mixed one to one by volume, 24 hour cure time. 5 oz. tube sets...... AM-1032...... $9.75

METALSET A-4: Another one to one adhesive, but this one is metal filled for better high temperature stability. Again, use it to bond metals, wood, ceramics and some plastics. 11 oz. tube sets...... AM-1033...... $12.25

URE-BOND II: Urethane adhesive. Very useful for repairing torn polyurethane molds. This adhesive is a superior bonding agent for adhering polyurethane rubber to porous and non porous materials, and provides a strong, flexible bond. (1A to 1B by volume ratio, 5 min pot life, 20 min cure, amber color) 2 x 1 pint set……. AM-1044…….$64.00 2 x 1 gallon set…. AM-1048……..$231.00

MAGIC SMOOTH: Now this is a great general purpose epoxy adhesive. Mixed one to one by volume this glue will adhere to wood, stone, metal, ceramics and some plastics. It's great for those appliqued projects such as mosaics and the like. May be cleaned up with warm water until it sets. Toothpaste consistency. Working time is approximately two to three hours. 2X 1/2 pint ...... SC-1254...... $14.00 2X 1 quart...... SC-1255...... $37.00 2X 1 gallon...... SC-1256A...... $133.00

53 FILLERS, THICKENERS AND EXTENDERS: Now we come to some of the fun stuff. We carry a wide variety of fillers and extenders that are compatible in everything from white glue to epoxy resin. By adding various kinds of fillers to a base material you can make something as mundane as polyester resin look like marble or bronze and actually do it quite well. You can bulk out your more expensive material to reduce costs or simply thicken something to the consistency of peanut butter to achieve a textured surface. The possibilities are endless and limited only by your imagination.

BACKING COMPOUND (old style): This filler was designed for use as a thickener/filler for latex rubber when making rubber molds. It's used where you might want to simplify the exterior shape of your rubber mold or eliminate small undercuts so that your mother mold might need to be fewer pieces. To use, simply add to your latex to make a paste and apply to the rubber mold in layers no thicker than 1/4". When the undercut is filled to your satisfaction, seal with a couple of coats of latex and proceed to making your mother mold. Also works well as a filler/thickener in some of the polyurethanes and silicones. 1 lb...... FM-1001...... $1.00 5 lb...... FM-1002...... $4.00 10 lb...... FM-1003A...... $7.00 50 lb...... FM-1003B...... $30.00

BACKING COMPOUND (ground tire rubber): In the old days (and even today to some extent) people making latex rubber molds would go to a tire recapper and take the rubber that had been ground off of the old tires, sift it and use it as a filler for latex when making rubber molds. The advantage of using this material is that being rubber, it is flexible for filling those undercuts. We've found a supplier who is able to provide us with the same material at a reasonable cost so that we may offer it here. Great additive for Brush-On 40 and 50 as well, if you want something that is low cost and flexible. 1 lb...... FM-1003...... $1.00 5 lb...... FM-1005...... $4.00 10 lb...... FM-1006...... $7.00 50 lb...... FM-1006A...... $30.00

DIATOMACEOUS EARTH: Millions of years ago the ocean was full of diatoms and not much else. When these little guys died, their skeletons fell to the bottom of the sea and formed huge deposits. Nowadays we mine this material and use it for a variety of things, and we offer it here. We use it mostly as a flatting agent for acrylic paints, but it works well as an inert filler for everything from resin to glue. 5 lb...... FM-1007...... $5.20 10 lb...... $8.70 50 lb...... $30.30

PERLITE EX: This is a light weight inert filler that looks very much like microscopic popcorn. Very inexpensive so that by adding it to a base resin for example, you can not only reduce the weight of a cast part, but reduce your cost as well. 1 lb...... FM-1008...... $1.50 30 lb...... FM-1008A...... $33.00

GLASS MICROBALLOONS: This is exactly what the name implies; hollow spheres made of glass. One of the lightest weight fillers for use in polyester, epoxy and polyurethane resins. Reduces density of resin it is added to substantially. 1/2 lb...... FM-1010...... $3.50 1 lb...... FM-1011...... $6.25 10 lb...... FM-1012...... $53.95 60 lb...... FM-1013...... $3.85/lb. 54

PHENOLIC MICROBALLOONS: The ultimate in light weight fillers for epoxy and polyester resins. Produced from a plastic material, the density of these microballoons is even lower that the glass microballons, but the price will reflect the savings in weight. Much easier to tool the cured surface than glass as well. If you want the best and lightest, go phenolic. 1/2 lb...... FM-1024...... $9.50 1 lb...... FM-1024A...... $17.50 10 lb...... FM-1025...... $159.00...... bulk...... FM-1026

ACRYLIC MICROBALLOONS: Hollow spheres made of acrylic. Acrylic microballons are lighter in weight than glass microballoons but cheaper than phenolic microballoons. The only draw back to using acrylic microballoons is that they are not as resistant to certian solvents. If you need something light weight and cheap this is the material to use. 1/2 lb...... FM-1142...... $5.10 1 lb...... FM-1141...... $9.00 bulk lb...... FM-1143...... $5.95

GLASS SPHERES: These are actually “macrospheres”, which means that they are large enough to see with the naked eye. We are currently carrying three different sizes and they are excellent for use in portland cement, gypsum cement, and all of the various resins we carry. The great thing about these critters is that they are “green”, meaning that they are made from recycled glass. Use as you would use any aggregate in cement and make lighter castings. Of course you must realize that strength will be diminished proportionate to the amount of the glass spheres you use. The small size is about the size of buckshot, medium is about like BB’s and the large is about like small pea gravel. 5# Bag Small (FM-1152).....Med(FM-1157).....Large(FM-1162)...... $8.50...... (large size, 4 lb. Bag 50 lb. Bag...... Small(FM-1155).....Med(FM-1160)....Large(FM-1165).....95/lb.

HYDRATED ALUMINA: Also called aluminum trihydrate, this material is a translucent filler used extensively in clear polyester for making cast marble and onyx. By adding a little white pigment to a mixture of this material and clear polyester resin one can make a pretty good faux marble casting. Hydrated alumina is also a fire retardant filler. 5 lb...... FM-1014...... $5.95 10 lb...... FM-1015...... $10.65 50 lb...... FM-1016...... $37.50

KAOLIN CLAY: This is an extremely fine particle sized clay filler used for extending polyester and epoxy resins. 5 lb...... FM-1017...... $2.00 10 lb...... $3.50 50 lb...... $14.00

FILLITE: This filler can be used essentially like a light weight sand, and in fact looks very much like sand, but the particles are somewhat round. For making light weight cement castings it works great; or use it in a resin base to give a stone like look. 1 lb...... FM-1021...... $1.50 5 lb...... FM-1022...... $6.50 50 lb...... FM-1023...... $33.00

55

SHORT STUFF: What a crazy name. This material works very similarly and looks very much like asbestos, but it's not toxic. When asbestos was essentially outlawed, it was necessary to find a substitute for many applications where a low cost fiber was needed. This material is made from polyethylene and although it doesn't have the fire resistant properties of asbestos, it retains all of the fibrous qualities. Use in everything from white glue to epoxy resin to achieve thickening and extending. 1/2 lb...... FM-1030...... $3.95 1 lb...... FM-1031...... $6.95 10 lb...... $45.00

FLUFF STUFF: Same material chemically as Short Stuff , but fluffier. Excellent as a simple to use thickener for silicone rubber. Use as much as you want without having to worry about any adverse chemical reaction. Will work with other materials as well for more of a thickening effect than Short Stuff. 1/2 lb...... FM-1028...... $4.95 1 lb...... FM-1028A...... $8.50 10 lb...... FM-1029...... $60.00

THIXO HP: This material is fumed silica. As a thickener in epoxy and polyester resins, Thixo HP is unsurpassed. Add just the right amount to achieve a consistency from honey to peanut butter. When thickening any of the various types of urethane or silicone rubbers this material performs wonderfully to give you a brushable consistency. Also works great as a flatting agent in solvent based varnishes and lacquers. 1/4 lb...... FM-1032...... $4.45 1/2 lb...... FM-1033...... $6.85 1 lb...... FM-1034...... $12.80 10 lb...... FM-1105...... $89.30

THIXO POWDER: This is a lower cost silica thickener and although not as efficient as Thixo HP, it works well as a general purpose thickener. Want to make modeling paste? Add a little of this to Art Medium Type B along with some whiting and adjust it just the way you like it. Need a light weight resin filler? Mix some of this with some polyester resin and Perlite EX and you're on your way. The combinations are endless, so play with it. Thixo Powder will also work as a flatting agent in water based coatings. 1/2 lb...... FM-1036...... $2.50 1 lb...... FM-1037...... $4.00 44.1 lb...... FM-1038...... $105.84

POLYESTER PUTTY: For those of you who like ready mixed materials, this is a good one. Sets in about 10 minutes and is ready to be filed, sanded or cut. Easily added to, and is great for filling imperfections in metal, wood, stone, some plastics and ceramics. Gallon size only. Hardener included. 1 gallon...... FM-1080...... $16.00* Extra Hardener...... FM-1081...... $3.50

WHITING: Also called marble dust, chalk and calcium carbonate, this powder is truly a general purpose filler. It can be used in resins, glues, paints and even rubber. Make your own gesso with a little rabbit skin glue and white pigment; add it to polyester resin with a little pigment and you have a great general purpose casting resin; mix it with some acrylic emulsion along with a little thickener and you have modeling paste. Again, the possibilities are endless. And it's cheap too! 5 lb...... FM-1039...... $2.75 10 lb...... FM-1040...... $4.50 500 lb...... $101.50 50 lb...... FM-1041...... $13.15 100 lb...... $22.70 56

MICA: When you think of mica, you might think of clear, glassy flakes of mineral, and that's exactly what mica is. Historically, used as sight glass material for furnaces because of its heat resistant properties and clarity mica today is used as a base for the luster pigments we sell and we offer the raw material here as a filler for various kinds of resins and polymer emulsions. Even in its microscopic form, mica retains the platelet qualities of the larger material and will act not only as a thixotrope in resin, but will also reinforce these materials. 5 lbs...... FM-1144.....$3.50 10 lbs...... FM-1145...... $5.50 50 lbs...... FM-1146...... $18.50

MICA FLAKE: Relatively large (1/8” nominal) flakes that find use as a decorative filler for various cement/stucco coatings. Also useful as an element in faux finishing. Can be mixed into the cement matrix, or applied to the wet surface and troweled into the cement/plaster for various effects. 5 lbs……….FM-1178…………$10.60 10 lbs……….FM-1179…………$18.00 50 lbs……….FM-1180…………$40.00

TALC: This is one of those fillers that is compatible with so many materials, it would be hard to list them all. Use talc in everything from acrylic medium to wax and just about anything in between. Works well in polyester resin and epoxy resin if you want to make a casting medium that is easy to sand. I also find it useful as a release agent when making a mother mold over a rubber mold to prevent the plaster or plastic mother mold from sticking to the rubber mold. Dust it onto the surface of the rubber to prevent “suction” when it comes time to remove the mother mold. 5 lb. Bag...... FM-1118A...... $7.15 10 lb. Bag...... FM-1118B...... $11.00

WOOD FLOUR: In simpler terms, sawdust; the difference that this material is sifted for size and fiber length to give something that is quite uniform. Works well as a thickener for a variety of materials because of its fibrous consistency. Can also be used to make a high density foam with our Insta-Cast resins by adding a small amount to the resin components before mixing. The moisture content of the flour causes the resin to create gases that will make it rise like a loaf of bread. Great technique to use if you want to add a relatively light weight filler as a core to an Insta Cast casting. 5 lbs...... FM-1173...... $6.50 50 lbs...... FM-1174...... $33.00

57 ATOMIZED METAL POWDERS: Now we get into the really fun stuff. If you've ever had the frustration of finishing a sculpture that you've wanted to have cast in bronze, and visited the foundry only to find out that it's so doggone expensive, then I'm sure you will appreciate cold casting. Essentially what cold casting consists of is mixing atomized metal powder with a resin binder and casting or laminating it into a mold. And it's true, the steel will rust and the bronze can be patinaed so that until you actually feel the surface you won't know that it's not really metal. Sometimes if you want to present a certain look to a potential client, but don't have the dough to have the piece cast in metal, cold casting might be the answer. These metals are compatible with both epoxy and polyester resin, but we prefer using polyester resin because it's less expensive and easier to obtain. Epoxies are so varied from one manufacturer to another, that you never know if you're going to have a problem with the metal reacting adversely with the hardener until you try it. The only exception here is the copper, which seems to accelerate polyester to the point where it is unusable. For more detailed information, ask for our bulletin "Cold Casting With Atomized Metal Powders". Also try using these materials with Forton MG/FGR-95 or Masterworks M-1 as a lower cost/lower toxicity binder.

ATOMIZED ALUMINUM: A bright white metal, very cool color. 1 lb...... FM-1074...... $9.70 5 lb...... FM-1075...... $43.60 10 lb...... FM-1076...... $73.40 25 lb...... FM-1077...... $162.85 50 lb...... FM-1079...... $287.95 100 lb...... FM-1079A...... $493.00

ATOMIZED ZINC: Deeper grey color; can look like lead, or mix with aluminum to achieve pewter look. 1 lb...... FM-1050...... $7.20 5 lb...... FM-1051...... $33.40 10 lb...... FM-1052...... $61.00 25 lb...... FM-1053...... $137.20 50 lb...... FM-1054...... $249.65 100 lb...... FM-1055...... $460.00

59 STONE AGGREGATES: We've often been asked whether we carry "casting stone", and our answer is usually, "What the hell is "casting stone"?" Our policy at Douglas and Sturgess has always been to offer raw materials to give you, the artist as many options as possible to create the medium that you need. This is the case with these stone aggregates. By adding these crushed stone particles to cement, plaster, hydrocal, polyester resin or whatever, you can produce your own stone mixture and get any one of a number of color combinations to suit your needs. As with anything, a little experimentation goes a long way in teaching you about technique and the proper ratio of stone to binder to achieve the look you desire.

STONECAST: Not really a stone aggregate, but a colored plastic flake combined with a translucent, inert filler, Stonecast is being used a lot today for creating synthetic granite for sinks, counter tops and the like. We offer it here for use as a casting medium to create stone like sculpture. We stock eight colors, but there are at least 25 others available on a special order basis. Mix with our clear casting resin to create anything from sculpture bases to fountains. 5 lb. bags 10 lb. bags 50 lb. bags Blush $9.95 FM-1115-5 $18.00 FM-1115-10 $70.00 FM-1115 Coal $9.95 FM-1109-5 $18.00 FM-1110 $70.00 FM-1111 Fashion Grey $9.95 FM-1106 $18.00 FM-1107 $70.00 FM-1108 Sea Green $9.95.

60 FOAM BOARD MATERIALS: In the sculpture business, things are not always what they seem, and oftentimes polystyrene foam board plays a big role in projecting that illusion. A shape roughed out of foam and then covered with plaster can become a rock wall or a tree or... Using foam as a sculpture armature is a great way to rough out a shape and not end up with anything that is too heavy. We carry two types of styrene foam and a high density urethane foam for model making. The difference between the styrene foams is in the way that they are produced, and hence the way that they can be modeled. Both can be cut with a hot knife and both are susceptible to being dissolved by strong solvents. The polyurethane foam is designed to be machined with various electric tools and can also be cut and finished with hand tools and sandpaper.

BEAD BOARD: Also called EPS, this is the least expensive type of styrene foam and is essentially small beads of foam fused together with heat to form a sheet. Will not give a very good surface when modeled with things such as files or sandpaper, but if it's going to be covered with clay or plaster, what does it matter? Cuts well with a hot knife or wire and is a good insulator. Standard sheet size is four feet by eight feet. Available in these thicknesses: Full Sheet 1/2 Sheet SQ. FT. 1" $16.85......

PINK STYRENE FOAM: This is a much finer, denser product and is one continous sheet of foam. Will cut with a hot wire or knife, but will also submit rather nicely to a hand saw or saber saw. Surface will sand to a nice smooth texture. Standard sheet size is two feet by eight feet. Available in these thicknesses: Full Sheet 1/2 Sheet SQ.

CARV-IT 50: This 50 pound per cubic foot polyurethane foam is a new addition to our line of materials and is offered as an alternative to a product that has been around for awhile. It's primary use is as a model/pattern making material. Carv-It 50 can be sawn, carved sanded, etc. with all of the common tools. May be surfaced with any appropriate surfacer/sealer and painted with any type of paint. Available in 2", 4" and 6" slabs. Full slabs are 16"X60".

61 PIGMENTS, DYES AND OTHER COLORANTS: POWDERED PIGMENTS: The pigments shown here are dry colors from a variety of manufacturers. We are constantly on a quest for new colors at a reasonable price and adequate supply. The colors we offer are essentially the standards of the paint industry. Safety is a primary factor that we look at. We carry no lead based pigments and the cadmium colors we carry are from a reputable manufacturer that assures us of their quality and relatively low degree of toxicity. As a reference, we recommend the book, Artist Beware which talks about the degree of toxicity of the various kinds of pigments. In general, these colors are compatible in most water based and oil based media, but there are exceptions. We are now offering one ounce tester jars of all of the colors we sell to allow you to test any or each of these for a minimal cost. In addition, we are selling some sets of the tester sizes as shown at the end of the list to allow you to purchase some mixed sets of specific types of colors at a minimal cost as well.

RESIN DYES: Although these are sold as dyes for polyester resin, we find that they will work in other media as well. We've used them in epoxies, varnishes and shellac, just to name a few. They won't work in water based media, but seem to be compatible in just about anything with a solvent in it. 1/2 oz. 2 oz. 16 oz.

POLYURETHANE PIGMENTS: These pigments are formulated specifically for use in polyurethanes of all sorts. That is, they are for polyurethane resins, foams, and elastomers.

64 LUSTER PIGMENTS: These are wonderful pigments. Compatible in virtually every medium, the effects can be subtle or outrageous. The closest thing that I can think of that they look like is the colors of the inside of a seashell. Some are metallic looking for those of you who want to make a metallic paint but can't use real metal. (This is often the case when making metallic water based acrylic paint.) They're made from mica platelets and some are coated with pigments such as titanium white or carmine red.

66 FLUORESCENT PIGMENTS: These things have been around forever, and I'm sure a few of you out there will have to confess that you had at least one or two black light posters during the 60's and 70's. Well, we sell the raw pigment so that you can make your own fluorescent paint. Add these pigments to a little of our Art Medium Type A and you've got it. Actually they're compatible with a lot of media, the only restriction is that they won't work in lacquers or paint systems that contain ketone solvents. Otherwise, go for it and create some posters of your own and break out the old black light. Far out! Essentially what you see is what you get, except in the case of the invisible blue, which is invisible except under ultra violet light. 1 oz. 1/4 lb. 1 lb. 5 lb. 10 lb. 25 lb. 50 lb.

67 BRONZING POWDERS: What we carry here is just a sampling of what's available, but we feel it's a pretty good cross section. Essentially these are flakes of brass, aluminum and copper that are polished and coated with stearic acid, and they are compatible with most media. There are a couple of minor exceptions, however. If you are going to use these pigments in a water based medium, only mix what you can use, because it won't keep. The same holds true if you're mixing these into a lacquer; only mix what you can use, because they'll cause the lacquer to gel in a couple of days if left on the shelf.

@Because of the low density of these colors, they are packaged by volume rather than by weight. Prices will reflect this discrepancy.

So-Strong Colorants: These are rather interesting colorants in that they can work both as a pigment and as a dye. If mixed into a transparent medium like the Smooth Cast 325 they will remain transparent, if mixed into an opaque medium like our Insta Cast they act like a pigment and have a very strong tint strength. Use sparingly as a little goes a long way. Not for use in water borne media. Available in 2 oz. plastic dropper tip bottles. Colors: black(SP-1099BK), brown(SP-1099BN), blue(SP-1099BL), flesh(SP-1099FL), green(SP- 1099GN), orange(SP-1099OR), red(SP-1099R), violet(SP-1099V), white(SP-1099W), yellow(SP- 1099Y). $12.95/ea.

69 CAL-TINT and MIXOL UNIVERSAL COLORANTS: If you're making paint of one sort or another and you need a pigment that is easy to mix into that medium, Cal-Tints or Mixol can fill the bill. These are pigments with broad compatibility. (no, that doesn't mean they'll get along with that woman next door who's been giving you the dirty looks) What that means is that they will mix with a lot of different binders. In fact, we've used them in polyester resin, epoxy resin, latex rubber, acrylic paint, varnish, and even plaster. About the only thing they probably won't work in is polyurethane resins and elastomers, and maybe silicones. The Cal Tints come in pint squirt bottles and the Mixol Colors are available in three different sizes. From the list below you can see that the Mixol comes in a large variety of colors including some "designer" colors. Generally the Mixol pigments are more finely ground and the intensity and strength of these pigments is greater than that of the Cal-Tints

LITHOCHROME CHEMICAL STAIN: So you've got that old cement statue, and you really like it, but you don't like the color. Well, you can do something about it! Stain it with a chemical stain. These stains are an acid based material that actually etches the surface of the cement and penetrates up to 1/8" into the cement. The only trick is, the cement has to be cured at least 28 days (or so they say), and the evenness of the color is dependent on the overall density of the surface of the cement. Use this stuff on cement floors, sidewalks, unpainted stucco or statuary. Colors aren't exactly too bright, but nice nonetheless (kind of like this kid I once knew). Color are: black, weathered bronze, fern green, copper patina, faded terracotta, dark walnut, padre brown, antique amber. color chart available on request. 14 oz. 1 gallon 5 gallons Bottle Lithochrome Chemical Stain (please specify SP-1055A $73.50# $352.00 color) $15.00 SP-1055 SP-1056

74 BODY CASTING MATERIALS: Now we enter the realm of body casting. As humans, we probably reflect on the human body as a source of inspiration for our art more than anything else. As a result, throughout history we have strived to create the perfect body image and then take that image and use it to express various emotions. Now we come to the question, is a casting of a body really art? For those of you who are unafraid to tread on this ground, we offer a complete line of body casting materials; some reusable, some not; some permanent, others not. So, let's begin.

MOULAGE: This has got to be the grandaddy of them all. Probably developed during the dark ages, this material is still pretty hard to beat. We've reformulated it over the years, but working properties have remained essentially the same. Moulage is a heat reversible gelatin that sticks to virtually nothing, so it's the almost perfect mold making material. The problem is that it needs to be applied hot and you can't cast much more than wax and plaster into it. Just the same, we find that because of the fact that it is reusable, it is economical and fun to use. To use this material, it must be melted in a double boiler (or a microwave oven and allowed to cool to just above body temperature. Then it is applied with a brush or your hand onto the subject and when cooled, reinforced with plaster or plaster gauze. Once removed it must be cast into quickly or stored in wet cloths so that it doesn't shrink. Now here comes the good part. After you've used your mold, simply cut it up, stick it back in your double boiler and remelt. Will last indefinitely if you don't let it dry out. And of course you're not limited to using Moulage just for life casting. Use it for any kind of simple mold making where you don't need a permanent mold, and all you need to cast is plaster or wax. Great for fixing those ornate picture frames where you might have one section of molding missing and you need to duplicate some existing molding to replace it. Made right here in the back room as it has been for decades. 2 lb...... BC-1010...... $10.70 5 lb...... BC-1011...... $23.95 10 lb...... BC-1012...... $47.50 35 lb...... BC-1013...... $119.60

DERMAGEL: This material is a formulated alginate molding compound. If you've ever had a mold of your teeth made at the dentist's office, then you'll know how it works. For those of you who haven't had this done, this material consists of a dry powder that when added to water reacts to form a firm gel in about four to eight minutes. Set time is dependent on water temperature and proportion of water to powder used. Warm water gives faster set times and less water will also accelerate set time. For example if you're making a mold of a torso, it is definitely going to be more comfortable for your subject if you use a warm material, and you'll avoid "goose bumps" in your mold. Whereas if you only need a mold of someone's face colder water will suffice, and you can extend your working time. And besides, I've never seen anyone get "goose bumps" on their face. The finished mold looks and feels very much like moulage, and as far as casting into the mold, works very similarly to the moulage, the difference being that Dermagel is not reusable. Complete instruction sheet available on request. 1 lb...... BC-1005...... $8.00 5 lb...... BC-1006...... $30.00 15 lb...... BC-1007...... $75.00

75 DERMASIL: This compound is a brushable silicone RTV material that can be brushed directly onto the skin for making molds from life. The only drawback is that Dermasil may have a tendency to stick to hair and it may be best to shave the area to be molded or apply a liberal film of petroleum jelly before proceeding. The advantage of Dermasil over the gelatin type mold making compounds is that number one the mold may be kept indefinitely, and number two a Dermasil mold will allow you to cast all of the various plastic compounds, waxes as well as gypsum cements into the same mold. Easy to use one to one ratio by volume. Refer to data sheet for specific instructions. 2X1/2 Pints ...... MC-1090...... $25.00 2X1 Gallons...... MC-1093...... $283.00 2X1 Pints ...... MC-1091...... $45.00 2X5 Gallons...... $925.90 2X1Quarts ...... MC-1092...... $79.00

MOULAGE HARDENER: Use this additive when you want to make a Moulage mold a little tougher. Add it to the moulage when it is being melted, but be careful, if you add too much, it will make the Moulage "stringy". Complete instructions with each package. 4 oz. Moulage Hardener...... BC-1014...... $1.40 8 oz. Moulage Hardener...... BC-1015...... $2.20

POSMOULAGE: We've formulated this wax to be used when casting into a Moulage mold. Sometimes if you cast a wax that is too hot, it will melt some of the detail in the mold. The melting point of this wax is low enough that there is little danger of losing detail when casting. 1 lb...... BC-1016...... $9.25 2 lb...... BC-1017...... $16.65 5 lb...... BC-1018...... $37.45 10 lb...... BC-1019...... $75.10

DERMAGEL BONDING AGENT: The nice thing about alginate is that it doesn't stick to anything; the bad part is that it doesn't even stick to itself once it has set. If you're doing a large mold and can't quite mix and use enough to do the whole mold at once, just mix a small amount of this material with water, spray it onto the mold surface where you want to continue, let it set for a minute or so, wipe it off and add more alginate. The two sections will now bond as one. 1 oz...... BC-1023...... $2.50 4 oz...... BC-1024...... $8.50

DERMAGEL RETARDER: Sure, we could formulate Dermagel to give you ten or fifteen minutes working time, but we've found that four or five minutes seems to be most people's preference. For those of you who need a little longer to work, mix a little retarder into your water before you start; you'll get as much time as you need. Complete instructions with each jar. 1 oz...... BC-1025...... $3.50 4 oz...... BC-1024...... $11.50

MAGIC SPRAY DUST HARDENER: This one goes back to the days when we were selling Moulage to a lot of the law enforcement agencies all over the country. Sometimes there would be a situation where maybe there was a footprint or tire tread impression in soft dirt and there was a need to make a copy of these impressions as part of the body of evidence for a court case. By spraying the surface of the dirt, it would become firm enough that a Moulage mold could be made right in the field and then have the reproduction cast back in the lab. We don't sell nearly as much as we used to for some reason, but find that it is still a useful tool for making molds of dry sand or powdery soil for example. Comes ready to use. Simply put into a hand sprayer, apply to your surface, let it dry and you're ready to go. 1 pint...... BC-1027...... $2.00 1 quart...... BC-1028...... $3.50 1 gallon...... $9.00 76

PLASTER GAUZE: This is the same thing the doctor wrapped your broken arm in when you fell off of your bicycle as a kid. We sell it here for use not only as a mother mold making medium for the alginates and Moulage, but also as a mold making/impression making material. Just lubricate the surface of the body part you want to cast with petroleum jelly or shortening, dip this stuff into water and apply it. It works best if you cut it into small strips before you start, or you can use it in the full length rolls if you're going to wrap the part you're casting.

THERMOPLASTICS: Simply defined, thermoplastics are plastics that are moldable with the application of heat. The materials we offer here have been manufactured to be molded at 140 to 160 degrees farenheit, which means that by heating in an oven or in boiling water these materials can be shaped by hand over just about any hard object, including clay, wood, plaster, metal, and in some cases even directly on the skin. In other words, if you're going to mold a body part, wait until it feels comfortable and proceed. All of these products are reusable and the Proto Plast, Altraform and Varaform may be bonded to themselves with dry heat to form larger sheets. These materials may be painted with all kinds of paint, metal leafed or glued with hot glue. Sample kits available on request.

VARAFORM: This stuff looks very much like fishnet stocking material, but it's made of cotton and impregnated with thermoplastic. Great for copying compound curves, and will stick to itself with the application of dry heat. Comes in light weight, heavy weight and a gauze which is actually solid but very light weight-great for filling in open areas of the mesh of the other products. Works very well for mask making, and we also find it to be quite useful for making reusable mother molds for Moulage and alginate molds VARAFORM 1-9 yds. 10-24 yds. 25 yds. or more Gauze (45" Wide)BC-1045 $51.00 $45.90 $40.80 Light Weight (36" wide)BC-1046 $43.00 $38.70 $34.40 Heavy Weight (48" wide)BC-1049 $66.00 $59.40 $52.80

ALTRAFORM: A relative newcomer to the field, Altraform comes in a precut sheet 43" by 55" Both sides are covered in a thin muslin-one side a little heavier than the other. The heavier side will prevent the material from sticking to itself and other materials while the lightly covered side will allow the AltraForm to stick not only to itself but to other types of plastics as well with the application of dry heat. Decorate as with the other thermoplastics. Medium Altraform $61.00 AF-42S

77 PROTO PLAST: These are sheets of solid thermoplastic material that are 18" by 24". Great for those heavy duty jobs where you need something a little stiffer. Also hollow tubes which can be used as spars, etc. 1/16" Solid...... BC-1055...... $60.00 1/16" Perforated...... BC-1056...... $80.00 3/32" Solid...... BC-1057...... $80.00 3/32" Perforated......

Off Spec Proto Plast: We bought a whole bunch of off spec product in a wide variety of colors. Works the same as the perfect product but the colors may have some blended colors with it. For example, a blue sheet may have slight swirls of red or brown. But on most sheets this swirling is undetectable, or there may be none at all. Colors we have at this point in time are: brown, blue, orange, white, pink, and black. When they are gone there will be no more. All sheets are 1/8” thick. 1/8” off-spec Proto Plast………….BC-1057A……….$30.00

FORM FAST: Not exactly a thermoplastic, but we don't know where else to put this stuff in this catalog, so here goes. This sheet material is essentially plastic impregnated fabric that softens when immersed in acetone. Once softened Form Fast can be draped and molded to create masks and other kinds of props. Available in three weights. Light Weight...... BC-1105.....$25.00/yd.(42" wide) Medium Weight.....BC-1106...... 28.35/sheet(44"X30") Heavy Weight...BC-1107...$30.00/sheet(44"X30")

FUZZFORM: This is a new one for us and is exactly what the name implies-a thick, fuzzy thermoplastic that when heated will fuse to form a hard continuous sheet. Takes a little more heat that the other products, but because it is a non-woven and contains no woven fabric in the makeup of the product, FUZZFORM will conform to compound curves better than some of the other products. Requires dry heat-best achieved with a heat gun. Looks very much like a thin insulating fiber, or maybe wool blanket. Available in a lightweight and a heavyweight version. Both are approximately 48" wide. FUZZFORM 1-9 yds. 10-24 yds. 25 yds. or more Light Weight $13.20 $11.90/yd. $10.70/yd. (BC-1108) Heavy Weight $25.95 $23.20/yd. $20.70/yd. (BC-1109)

ADAPT-IT PELLETS: These little pellets are essentially the same plastic as the sheets of Proto Plast are made from. To use, simply throw a handful of the pellets into a cup of boiling water, let is soften for a couple of minutes and remove with a stick. Mold by hand and reheat and remold as necessary. Can be painted or dyed the same as the Proto Plast. 1/2 lb...... (BC-1002)...... $17.80 1 lb...... (BC-1003)...... $28.45 5 lb...... (BC-1003A)...... $128.00 10 lb...... (BC-1003B)...... $230.55

PROTO PLAST SKIN: Thin sheets of solid thermoplastic; great for small stuff. Sheets are 5"x 24". $20.85/sheet...... BC-1058

80 BRUSHES, TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES: Being in the artist's supply business, and more specifically the sculptor's supply business, a large part of what we do is sell tools of various sorts. We obtain tools literally from all over the world and are constantly searching for good sources of well-made tools at reasonable prices. What we are able to show here is just a small part of what we have and we regret that we just don't have pictures or illustrations of all of the tools at this time. Look for a more complete listing in a future issue of this catalog--coming soon to a mail box near you. We also have a separate catalog just for wood carving tools. To get one, just request it. Cost is only three dollars, and there are literally hundreds of tools shown.

FRP TOOLS: We sell all sorts of tools for those of you who might be working with various kinds of polyester or epoxy resins and fiber reinforcements. We have rollers, brushes, squeegees, hand held choppers and sprayers and even a handy little measuring device for dealing with MEKP catalyst in small quantities. We don't sell the big items; you know, chopper guns and foam spraying equipment, but what we do have works very well for those small jobs where it isn't cost effective to use some of the bigger stuff.

Grooved Rollers: When asked what he thought about these rollers, Austin Powers replied, “Groovy baby!”. Depending on your preference, we offer both aluminum and plastic rollers in a variety of sizes. Excellent for squeezing out the air and the resin into your resin/glass laminate. Clean with acetone, or if your resin has cured onto the metal rollers, you might just be able to burn it off with a torch and save the tool. Size: 1X3 1X3 1X4.5 1X6 1X9 2X3 2X6 2X9 Economy Plastic $6.20 $8.75 $10.50 $11.25 $15.85 $12.10 $15.85 $21.70 FE-1001 FE- FE-1003 FE-1004 FE- FE-1007 FE- FE-1010 1002 1005 1009 Aluminum $8.75 $10.50 $11.25 $15.85 $11.95 $15.60 $20.20 FE- FE-1122 FE-1012 FE- FE- FE-1015 FE-1016 1011 1013 1014

Grooved Roller

81 SINGLE SPRAY CUP GUN: If you've ever had a situation where you wanted to spray a little bit of polyester resin, but either didn't want to use a good spray gun or didn't have one to use, this little unit is great. It uses a disposable paper cup, so there isn't that sticky resin clean up to deal with. (Just the front plate and nozzle need to be cleaned) Just mix your resin or gel coat in the paper cup, attach to the spray unit, hook up your air hose and spray. Will also spray some rubber materials and plaster with various nozzles available.

PLASTIC MOLD WEDGES: These things are invaluable when prying apart not only fiberglass molds, but plaster molds as well. Won’t scar your mold like the traditional tool-a screwdriver-will. Three different sizes to suit your needs. Small mold wedge:,,,,,,,,,,,,,,FE-1027...... $1.30/ea. Medium Mold Wedge...... FE-1028...... $2.10/ea. Large Mold Wedge...... FE-1029...... $4.00/ea.

FIBERGLASS CHOPPER: A remarkable little tool for doing those low volume jobs where a full blown chopper gun setup would be simply overkill. This thing will put out voluminous amounts of chopped glass in a number of different lengths depending on how you space the blades on the roller. Use one of these along with the resin sprayer, roll everything down with a grooved roller and you've got it. Only available in an air powered version.

Air powered chopper Mekp Dispenser

MEKP DISPENSER: It seems that whenever you need a measuring device for that little bit of catalyst, you can just never find one. Well, if you'd put your catalyst into this dispenser first, then you would always have that measuring cup right at hand. Squirt a little catalyst into the marked cup, and pour into your batch of resin and you're on your way.

82 BRUSHES: If you're into fine oil painting, then I don't think we can help you. But if you need some general-purpose brushes, we have a couple of different price ranges to choose from. Some "throwaway" brushes and some keepers. Style 1/2" 1" 1 1/2" 2" 3" 4" White Chinese Bristle(ea.) $.50 FE-1030 $.65 FE-1031 $.85 FE-1032 $1.00 FE-1033 $1.60FE-1034 $4.00FE-1035 Per Box of White Chinese $14.40(36) $18.72(36) $24.48(36) $19.20(24) $15.36(12) $38.40(12) Bristle(count) Poly Brushes(ea.) $.65 FE-1042 $.85 FE-1043 $1.10FE-1044 $1.35FE-1045 Black Chinese Bristle(ea.) $5.95 $7.95 $10.80 FE-1046 FE-1047 FE-1048

SQUEEGEES: You can't very well spread that putty unless you have something to spread it with. We have four sizes in polyethylene and a large rubber squeegee that comes in a three foot length so you can cut it to the size you need.

Each Per Hundred Junior Squeegee(Not Shown) .40 $28.00 (4 1/4” x 2 1/2) FE-1086A Small Squeegee (2 3/4” x 4”) $.35 $24.00 FE-1086

TONGUE DEPRESSORS: Where would we be without tongue depressors? These things are great for mixing those small amounts of rubber, resin or whatever. Buy them by the box, and you'll always have a clean stick to mix with. And here's a helpful hint: when mixing rubber in a cup, cut off one end of the tongue depressor so that it is square instead of rounded and you'll be able to get into all of the corners of the cup to insure a thorough mix. Tongue Depressors Each Per box of 100 Per box of 500 6"X3/4" .06 $4.50 $9.80 FE- FE-1084A FE-1085A 1085

WOODEN MIXING STICKS: Hey, put that table saw away. I mean you could make your own mixing sticks, but why? These sticks are economical and consistently good quality. Made from a special wood grown in Chile on plantations where that's all they make, and the crop is rotated every 12 years. You need not have a guilty conscience ever again about depleting the rain forest when you stir up that epoxy resin and throw away the stick when you're through. Stirring Sticks Each Per Dozen Per Case Small (12") .15 $1.20 $80.00(1000) FE-1089 Large(21") .60 $5.00 $83.30(250) FE-1090

DRILL MIXER ATTACHMENTS: We offer a couple of different types and sizes of these devices and find that when you need to mix a little more than just a small cupful of material they are invaluable. They work best on a 1/4" or 3/8" variable speed drill. For long lasting value the American made, heavy duty variety work best. If you need something for a short run, the economy grade will do. Economy Heavy Duty Small (1 qt. size) $1.95 $7.95 FE-1094 001 Medium (up to 2 gallons) $4.00 $13.95 FE-1095 002 Large (up to 5 gallons) $4.50 003, 5/16” Shaft $16.95 FE-1096 003A, ½” Shaft $19.95

MOLD STRAPS: If you've ever had the experience of pouring rubber into a mother mold held together with rubber bands or rope and watched helplessly as all of your expensive mold making material poured out onto the floor, then I'm sure you understand the meaning of hydrostatic pressure and can appreciate these wonderful mold straps. They're made from nylon so that they don't stretch, and the metal clamping device works like a cam in that it is offset, and when it is tightened, ain't nothin' gonna pull it apart. Worth their weight in gold. Use them over and over again. Available in 3,4,5,6,7, and 8 foot lengths, individually or in packs of five. Length 3' 4' 5' 6' 7' 8' Each $2.65 $2.90 $3.15 $3.40 $3.65 $3.90 FE-1079 FE-1077 FE-1077 FE-1079 FE-1080 FE-1081 5 Packs $12.00 $13.25 $14.50 $15.75 $17.00 $18.25

85 NATURAL SPONGES: Another one of those naturally occurring materials that really hasn’t been duplicated synthetically. Unsurpassed for doing those special finishes. Sometimes used for applying texture to clay when doing sculpture.

COTTON CHEESECLOTH: There’s really nothing out there in the way of natural or synthetic fibers that can match the properties of cotton. Unexcelled for ragging on those special wall treatments or spreading stains and dyes. Use for reinforcing plaster when doing body casting, and for those of you who make cheese, I think you’ll know what to do with this. 2 yd. pack cotton cheesecloth $2.25 XL-200 4 yd. pack cotton cheesecloth $3.95 XL-400 Bulk cotton cheesecloth .97/yd.

HOT WIRE FOAM TOOLS: If you have ever worked with Styrofoam or EPS foam, then you know how useful these kinds of tools can be. They will cut and shape these foam materials without the mess associated with mechanical cutting and abrading tools. In other words-no dust! These tools come in various levels of durability and functionality depending on your needs and budget. The wire tools have interchangeable wires and the heavy duty crafter’s knives are the ones that just don’t wear out. When cutting foam it is recommended that you have adequate ventilation and perhaps use an organic vapor mask for the smoke/fumes generated when cutting.

86 MODELING AND SCULPTING TOOLS: I'm sure that many of you have lots of tools for modeling and sculpting various media, but for most people the fact of the matter is that there are just a handful of tools that you actually use on a regular basis. Our philosophy is that because this is probably so, we don't have as many tools as some of the big guys out there, but what we do have are those tools you tend to go back to each time you open up your tool box.

PLASTER TOOLS: Made in the good ole' U.S. of A by people trained in the tradition of the Italian toolmakers, and as such they are priced reasonably. Unexcelled for working on plaster, clay and wax.

AIRBRUSHES AND SPRAY GUNS: We offer spray guns and airbrushes from Paasche Airbrush Company of Chicago and find that not only are these durable, but economical as well. They’ve been making these things since 1904 so they must be doing something right. We sell the model VL and H airbrushes as standard fare, and find that between the two of them, they’ll take care of probably 90% of your airbrush needs. From there we go to the AU, BU and CU spray guns which are real workhorses and unlike other brands will operate with a minimal amount of air pressure and volume. In addition to what is shown here, we sell parts for all of the airbrushes and spray guns we sell and can repair these items as well. H Airbrush- Single action, three different tips available depending on consistency of $46.00 material being sprayed; best used for stencil work. SG-1002 VL Airbrush-Double action, three different tips available depending on consistency being $90.00 sprayed; best used for freehand work. A real workhorse. SG-1001 AUF Spray Gun- Sometimes referred to as a touch up gun, this gun fills the gap between $107.00 an airbrush and a true spray gun. Available with a wide variety of tip sizes and types for SG-1006 spraying thick or thin materials; stippling, etc. AUTF Spray Gun- Same basic workings as the AUF type, but with a thumb lever instead $112.00 of a pistol grip. BUF Spray Gun-Larger overall than the AU series for spraying heavier bodied materials; $114.00 again comes with any one of a number of different tip styles and sizes for spraying light or heavy bodied materials. CUF Spray Gun-Truly a production spray gun, the CUF sprayer is better used where larger $141.00 volumes of materials must be sprayed. Available with a number of different tip styles and SG-1009 sizes. LFC Flock Sprayer-This thing looks like a regular spray gun, but it is designed for $225.00 spraying rayon flock. (see specialty items section) L Sprayer- A simple siphon type sprayer that has no internal mixing-used primarily for $80.85 spraying ceramic glazes, but will work for other paints and media where you might not want to deal with the problems of an internal mix type gun. LAC Abrasive Gun-Essentially a small sand blasting unit, use this where large volumes of $85.00 abrasive need not be used. Great for giving surfaces an overall “frosted” look. May be used with either sand, carborundum or silicon carbide abrasives. AEC Air Eraser-A miniature sand blaster; the same scale as an airbrush. Best used for $52.00 small work, will only work with very fine abrasives. 97

MATHEMATICAL FORMULAS: Sometimes it's just a matter of some simple math to figure out the area or volume of a piece that will help you. If that's the case we offer the following basic formulas to determine the area or volume of some of the more common shapes. AREAS: Shape: Formula: Triangle base times height divided by two Rectangle a times b, where a and b denotes the length of the sides (for a square a and b are equal) Circle pi times radius squared(pi=3.14159) Cube 6 times a squared (a=length of side) Sphere 4 pi times the radius squared(pi=3.14159) Cylinder height times circumference (does not include ends, use circle formula for ends)

VOLUMES: Shape: Formula: Cube a times b times c (a,b and c equal the length, depth and height) Sphere 4/3 pi times radius cubed(pi=3.14159) Tetrahedron .11785 times length of edge (for equilateral tetrahedron) Pyramid area of base times height divided by two Cone area of base times height divided by three Cylinder area of base times height

ONE FINAL NOTE: Here's one we get asked quite often; How many drops of polyester catalyst in one ounce? We find that there are approximately 1200 drops per ounce. You can use this number to extrapolate up or down when using clear casting resin in various thickness castings, and avoid having to count all of those drops. (See label on resin container for recommendations on catalyst loadings for different sized castings.) Copyright 2009, all rights reserved. And of course, All prices subject to change without notice.
