How To Use Alja‑Safe™ Alginate to Cast Silicone Body Parts

Step 4: Preparing Ecoflex™ 00‑10

Measure platinum silicone rubber, in this case, Ecoflex™ 00-30 to make a super soft silicone replica. Ecoflex™ is measured in equal parts by volume. To give the finished piece some realistic color, add Silc-Pig™ Fleshtone silicone pigment to Part B. Thoroughly mix the pigment into Part B prior to combining with Part A. Combine Parts A and B and mix thoroughly until there are no color striations present in the mixture.

For best results, Ecoflex™ 00-30 should be vacuum degassed prior to pouring into the mold. This will help eliminate any bubbles from causing defects in the finished piece. Once the rubber has been degassed, it can be poured directly into the Alja-Safe™ mold.
