Ever wish "someone" would make the perfect plastic part you need for your latest project?
Now someone does: YOU!
Alumilite materials let you create professional looking, high strength plastic parts at home. Alumilite castings are relatively light weight but are strong enough to withstand everyday use. Castings can be painted, glued and machined.
Alumilite materials are non-toxic and virtually odorless. Unlike other casting system, Alumilite molding and casting materials mix with equal volumes of "A" and "B" material so you can "eyeball" measurements and have very successful results without precision measuring equipment.

| Resin Dyes & Metal Powders | ||||||||||||||||||
| While you can paint your objects after casting, you can obtain more permanent results by coloring during the casting process. Alumilite dyes can be added to the resin to give your castings color that can't wear or scratch off because the color goes all the way through the material. For the truest colors, especially skin tones, use Alumilite white casting material. You can control the richness and tone of color by varying the amount of dye used. Alumilite metallic powders can be dusted on your mold before casting to provide a durable finish that is molecularly bonded to the resin. Metallic powders give a metal-like look and feel that cannot be duplicated with paint. | ||||||||||||||||||

 | Pressure Pot Pressure Pot is designed for use in applying pressure to force resin into thin sections of a mold by crushing the existing air to eliminate bubbles in your finished pieces. It comes with a safety release valve, gauge, and fittings. The only other two items you will have to obtain is an air compressor of at least 3.5 horsepower and a 1/4 coupling/adapter to attach to your air compressor line. Dimensions: 9.25 diameter x 8 tall. Note: If you want to pressure cast your pieces, you must either degas or pressure cast your silicone. If the mold itself has air bubbles inside of the it (not on the surface where they can be seen), the pressure applied during the casting pressure will compress those bubbles inside the mold and deform your finished casting. Typically gives you the appearance of warts or bumps all over your casting. Manufacturer: ALUM. Manufacturer's Part Number: 50150. More Product Details ... | |||||||||||||||||
