CREALIN LAMINATE PASTE

This laminate powder is mixed in the ratio 4 parts Crealin and 1 part water and is then ready to use, after a short pre-swelling time of 2-3 minutes. It is suitable e.g. for the creation of landscape surfaces in modelling structures. The thixotrope (viscous) and creamy paste is applied with a palette knife or a putty knife. The material is dimensionally stable so that even sharp edged shapes can be formed. Crealin dries completely within 65-75 minutes, without shrinking. It is further of advantage, that objects like small trees, fences etc., can be worked in the laminate compound; they will stick firmly in it.  Because the material is so easy to form and to model it is also well suited for the making of collages. It also does bond very well with the Artex Modelling Tissues and is therefore preferred for the enhancement of laminated decoration objects (inflated swimming animals, bandaged with the modeling strips). All kinds of surface structures can be perfectly designed, e.g. scales, fur, feathering etc. Crealin adheres on almost every subsurface, e.g. board, wood, metal, stone, plaster, gypsum carton, Polystyrene, solidified textile etc. Therefore this material is also used for the making of theatre sceneries. As the material has low adhesion properties and does not contain any dissolvers, it can also bond with Polystyrene or textile shapes (treated previously with Textile Impregnating Hardener; the objects need to be primed before with an  adhesion agent, e.g. Glass and Synthetics Primer in a thin layer. Available in a 1000g tub. Price per tub.
