Jesmonite AC100 Powder

Description

This gypsum-rich component is part of a composite system used to create strong, lightweight, and detailed castings. When mixed with the AC-100 liquid component, it forms a water-based acrylic composite, suitable for sculptures, props, architectural elements, and decorative coatings.

Features

• Ensures excellent dimensional stability and fine surface detail.
• Allows for easy finishing processes.
• Low-odor, safe, and easy to work with.
• Ideal for artists, designers, and fabricators seeking professional-quality results.

Instructions

This powder is the base component of the composite system and must be used with the liquid component.

• Ensure the powder is dry and free-flowing before use.
• Store in a cool, dry place and protect from moisture.
• Measure the required amount of AC-100 liquid first.
• Gradually add the powder to the liquid according to the recommended mixing ratio (typically 2.5 parts powder to 1 part liquid by weight).
• Mix thoroughly until a smooth, homogeneous, lump-free consistency is achieved, scraping the sides and bottom of the mixing container.
• Once mixed, apply or pour the material immediately into molds or onto prepared surfaces, as working time is limited.
• Lightly tap or vibrate molds to release trapped air and improve surface detail.
• Allow the composite to cure undisturbed; demolding time depends on part thickness and ambient conditions.
• After curing, castings may be sanded, drilled, trimmed, or painted.

• Clean tools and equipment with water before the material sets.
