You can rely on the Sirchie HARD-CORE BLUE 64oz Mixing Solution for all your casting needs. This versatile, gypsum-based casting material is renowned for its exceptional strength, precision in reproductions, user-friendly application, and long-term cost-effectiveness.
Designed as a "dental stone" casting material, it has established itself as the most efficient and practical solution for casting tire and footprint impressions. Its superior strength negates the need for additional reinforcement, making it a go-to choice for professionals and hobbyists alike.
Unlike traditional plaster, which requires several inches of thickness, the HARD-CORE BLUE solution typically forms casts that are only 1/2" to 3/4" thick. This not only saves on material but also results in casts with impressive properties.
One of the standout features of this mixing solution is its remarkable resilience. It has been tested in extreme conditions, stored for months in the trunk of a vehicle, enduring temperatures ranging from subfreezing to over 100 degrees F (38 degrees C), without any noticeable loss of efficiency.
The HARD-CORE BLUE solution also sets up in a shorter time frame and exhibits only a minor exothermic reaction, making it safer and more convenient to use. Only larger impressions may require damming or flow restriction, further attesting to its versatility.
In summary, the Sirchie HARD-CORE BLUE 64oz Mixing Solution is a robust, reliable, and efficient choice for all your casting requirements.
