What is Alumilite?
Alumilite is a two part liquid compound. When mixed, it turns solid in about three minutes. When solid, it has a consistency very much like manufactured plastic. It can be easily sanded and painted. We use this for two purposes. Primarily, it’s an excellent casting agent for use with simple molds. A number of the heads you see on our figures are castings from molds using this material. We’ll also use it as a sculpting tool. Often we’ll pour or smear Alumilite over rough areas of a sculpt, such as a seam between two parts. This creates a smooth “candy shell” that might otherwise be hard to achieve. To learn more about Alumilite, please visit http://www.alumilite.
