Alginate


Alginate Mould Material

A truly unique mould making material that can be used to make moulds from virtually anything with a non porous surface, for example sea shells, picture frames or figurines. Alginate is simple to use by blending alginate powder and water, immersing your master into the mixture or spreading it over your master. Moulds are created in seconds and can be used immediately using any grade of casting plaster.
