| Alja-Safe® BREEZE Liquid Alginate |
 Alja-Safe® BREEZE Liquid Alginate |
No powder - no dust! Alja-Safe® Breeze (Patent Pending) is a new liquid alginate which blends easily with water, creating a unique, skin safe moldmaking material. Alja-Safe® Breeze is perfect for making single-use pourable molds of hands, feet and other body parts. It captures excellent detail, giving you an accurate reproduction of your original. If you want to make a mold of vertical body surfaces, you can use original Alja-Safe® or Alja-Safe® Acrobat®. Alja-Safe® Breeze is easy to use and cures quickly. It reproduces fine detail and makes an excellent temporary mold – good for one or two reproductions of any body part. You can then cast plaster, Matrix® NEO® (polymer modified gypsum), Smooth-Cast® 300Q ultra-fast urethane resin or platinum silicone (such as Dragon Skin® FX Pro) into the mold to make a reproduction. For making re-usable molds of any body part, use Body Double® silicone rubber. |

| Body Double™ Skin Safe Lifecasting Silicone Rubber |
 Body Double™ Skin Safe Lifecasting Silicone Rubber |
Body Double® "Standard Set" and Body Double® "Fast Set" are long lasting skin safe lifecasting silicone rubbers that can be applied directly to the skin to make molds of the face, hands and other body parts.
The rubber cures quickly and will reproduce perfect detail from any original model - far better detail than any alginate. | | One Casting or Many . . . For About The Same Price: Unlike alginates, which are good for one only casting, Body Double® will last for many castings of almost any material including plaster, Matrix Neo, wax, resins (Smooth-Cast urethanes, polyester, etc.), Low-temperature melt metal alloys, etc. And the amount of Body Double® used per mold is less than most alginates, so the cost per mold is about the same. - Body Double® "Standard Set" for larger surface areas. Working time of 5 minutes and a demold time of 20 minutes
- Body Double® "Fast Set" for fast turn around. Working time of 90 seconds and a demold time of 5 minutes
*Depending on material temperature, ambient temperature and body temperature. See Technical Bulletin for full details. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT WITHOUT READING THE TECHNICAL BULLETIN AND MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET How much Body Double® do you need? Click here for a visual coverage chart. |
