Moulding Alginate 500g

Brand: Artstat
Moulding Alginate 550g is a flexible mould and impression-making material. A gel is formed by mixing the alginate powder with water and is widely used in reproducing small to medium-size objects and patterns or mouldings in plaster and timber, particularly in restoration work. Alginate is completely safe in direct contact with skin and sets very rapidly, making it the preferred material for making moulds of the face, body, feet and hands. Alginate is supplied in a 500g foil sachet and is manufactured from kelp - a variety of seaweed. Like latex and silicone, it reproduces an extremely accurate impression - capturing such detail as the pores of the skin. Advantages over silicone and latex are that it sets very quickly and can be separated from the subject within 3 to 4 minutes of application. It is also clean, economic, easy to apply and needs no release agent to detach from non-porous surfaces - the mould detaches from the original as it sets.5052803003462 SKU: 6002707:6002707 6002707:6002707

“Brilliant shop! Wonderful, prompt and attentive service and an excellent array of products (particularly given the size of the space). I usually order online and collect in store (another excellent service) to save the risk of parking my bike outside but always enjoy a wander when I’m in town. Highly recommended!”
– Jonathan
“I ordered 3 pads of watercolour paper and when it arrived I was amazed at the way it was packed. Bubble wrap, cardboard wrap then brown paper. As a result the paper arrived in perfect condition. Well done.”
– Graham
“So nice to have a shop not in a mall or a big impersonal space with knowledgeable helpful staff-full of all the art/craft supplies one could possibly want.”
– Halima
“I’ve only found this wonderful shop recently. I have been coming into this shop regularly since as I’m doing a few craft projects at the moment. The staff are absolutely lovely and have helped me anytime I needed assistance — even with recommendations!”
– Chantelle
“The staff were very helpful and patient and helped me get everything I needed to start traditional inking/inkwash art, which is not that common (but they had the supplies regardless). Coming from a digital background, I had very little idea about what I needed but they were very patient and kind in helping me pick out each piece of equipment.”
