Instructions

SAFETY FIRST:

Keep Out of Reach of Children BE CAREFUL - Avoid use if you have known allergies to natural latex. Avoid contact with eyes. Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Remove from skin with
waterless hand cleaner followed by soap and water. Children should not use this product without adult supervision.

PROCESSING RECOMMENDATIONS

GENERAL PREPARATION:

Do not allow HX-407 ™ to freeze. The material will not be usable. Store and use material at room temperature 23°C. This product has a limited shelf life and should be used as soon as possible.
Colder temperatures will slow the working/cure time,while warmer temperatures will reduce working time. Wear safety glasses, long sleeves and rubber gloves to minimize contamination risk. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area. Keep container closed when not in use.

POURING,CURING & PERFORMANCE:

MIXING AND CURING

Stir before use. Pour into a dry, unsealed gypsum mold. Tilting or lightly vibrating the mold may help to eliminate bubbles if the mold contains complex undercuts or deep details. For a very thin skin, pour the excess latex back into the container immediately or within a couple of minutes. For a thicker skin, allow the product to stay in the mold longer before pouring off excess. As an example,a standing time (or dwell time) of 30 minutes yields a ~1,58 thickness. Two hour dwelling before pouring the excess back into the original conatainer can product a 6,35 mm thickness. Dense plasters are not as absorbent and, therefore, cause thicknesses to
build more slowly. Humidity and ambient temperature will also affect the drying time of latex. Allow HX-407™ to dry in the mold for 12 hours at room temperature prior to pulling it out of the mold.

USING THE CASTING:

Before Demolding, lightly dust the inside of the casting with talc in order to prevent the dry rubber from sticking to itself. Avoid exposing the casting to oils, greases or solvents. Castings should be stored out of direct sunlight.

CLEAN UP:

Clean up wet and dry latex with soap and water.

OPTIONAL - COLORING & STIFFENING THE RUBBER

Fabtone™latex colorants can be used to dye the latex while in it’s liquid state and HX-Stiffener ™ can be used to make the rubber less flexible.
