Kit consists of 2.5kg of PART A and 2.5kg of PART B
Total kit volume 4.62 Litres
This product is odourless, non-toxic and formulated specifically for applying to the human body.
PART A is a red liquid and PART B is a blue liquid which act as a visual aid, turning purple during the mixing process. The two components mix easily with a simple 1:1 ratio with a working time of 5-8 minutes with a cure time of 20-30 minutes @ 25°C.
Once cured the rubber is a flexible, elastic, material with outstanding release properties, a high chemical resistance and a temperature resistance of 200°C. There is practically no shrinkage (0.1%) and excellent reproduction of fine detail.
As the moulds will be thin to hold their shape when filling with the casting material an outer support will need creating whist the rubber is still in situ on the body. We recommend mod roc plaster bandages click here

*CURE INHIBITION*
A release agent will not create a sufficient barrier to prevent cure inhibition but a layer of paint will. If the paint is solvent based allow sufficient time for the solvent to completely evaporate off as that too can inhibit the cure
Great care must be taken when handling and mixing all addition-cured silicone elastomer systems. All the mixing tools (vessels and spatulas) should be clean and constructed in materials which do not interfere with the curing mechanism. The cure of the rubber can be inhibited by the presence of compounds of nitrogen, sulphur, phosphorus and arsenic; organotin catalysts and PVC stabilisers; epoxy resin catalysts and even contact with materials containing these substances e.g. moulding clays, sulphur vulcanised rubbers, condensation cure silicone rubbers, some printed plastics, onion and garlic.
