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. 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. Whereas if you only need a mold of someone's face colder water will suffice, and you can extend your working time. 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. This compound is a brushable silicone RTV material that can be brushed directly onto the skin for making molds from life.
