Smooth-On Alja-Safe Acrobat Alginate Powder 3lbs
Alja-Safe Acrobat is a fiber reinforced "non-sag" version of original Alja-Safe life casting alginate. Acrobat is thicker and holds vertical surfaces allowing the user better control for making molds of the face, torso, etc. Acrobat reproduces perfect detail from all body surfaces and is good for making temporary molds that can be used to make highly detailed reproductions cast in wax, plaster, platinum cure silicone or Smooth-Cast 300Q ultra-fast urethane resin.
Mix ratio is 1 part Alja-Safe Acrobat powder sifted into 1 part water (1:1 by volume). Working time is 5 minutes and cure time is 8 minutes, assuming a water temperature of 80 F / 27 C. Like original Alja-Safe, Acrobat is skin safe and does not contain crystalline silica (a known carcinogen). For making re-usable molds of any body part, use Body Double silicone rubber.
