Casteline is a new sculpture and prototype modeling compound. It is available in three consistencies (soft, medium & hard). Easily softened in sunlight, under light bulbs or just by the heat of your hands. Casteline models like clay and works like wax. It can also be melted down and poured. This allows for easy manipulation. It is sulfur free and a favorite among many toy and prototype designers. Size: 2-1/2 Lbs approx.Properties Specifications: Models like clay Works like wax Sulfur-free Non-polymerizing Lightweight; 40% lighter than Plastiline Self supporting without armature All grades are compatible; Hard Grade used for armature and building up piece, as well as, sharp detail Medium Grade used for detailing and modeling Soft Grade works like clay and is more susceptible to dings and bruising Castilene is compatible for use with silicones and other liquid molding rubbers Yield: 15 cubic in./LbTo Begin with CastileneSoften with a variety of heat sources including heat lamps, hot boxes, heat guns, crock pots, microwave ovens, hot water or double boilers. DO NOT USE A DIRECT FLAME. Regardless of the heat source, avoid heating above 170F or air bubbles may result. Castilene can be melted and poured at about 170F. The strength and light weight of Castilene allows sculpting without a wire armature in many cases.Working with CastileneHard Castilene will remain malleable while working if kept warm. All three hardnesses are compatible with one another. Hard Castilene can be used as an armature and soft or medium Castilene can be applied on top of the hard. All generic wax tools and wax carving methods are compatible with Castilene. Heat tools before carving. Chill Castilene to achieve optimum hardness for high detail and burnishing.Polishing and Finishing MethodsUse wax compatible products including Goo Gone, De-Solv-it, d-limonene or Prepsol based products. Mineral oil, Turpinoid and petroleum products will lubricate the surface. Polish with Chiffon, nylon or burnishing tools. Castilene does not inhibit silicone or other mold rubbers. Castilene can be burned out for lost wax casting.Documentation Technical Bulletin Chavant Clay Softening Temperature Chart Related ProductsRELATED PRODUCTS:Armature Supplies Modeling Tools Form-iT Modeling Stand Steel w/casters Isopropyl Myristate
