Lifecasting Technical Recommendations
- The FORTON MG (MG means modified gypsum) Casting
System (FMG) is compromised of a glass-fiber reinforced gypsum (hydrocal)
system. The result of which can be utilized for interior or exterior
sculpture. It is simple to use and most importantly is non-toxic. It
is lightweight and has a rapid mold cycling time of 60 to 90 minutes
without the use of an accelerator. It is possible to add aggregates
and pigments to achieve natural stone looks via sandblasting, or add
metal powders which can be patinaed and polished for realistic metal
castings (cold casting). |
