Polar Ice-Dry

Casting Recipe

Polar Ice in plastic form contains 3.5% Veegum (the casting version has 1% Veegum). Casting this body requires extra care, good mixing and some compromise to get a slurry of the right consistency. Please read up on deflocculation if you are new to this. A good propeller mixer is important. Be aware: Polar Ice contains a plasticizer to impart the plastic strength to better enable pieces to shrink and pull away from the mold, this requires double the normal amount of Darvan and lengthens casting time considerably. Also: Polar Ice pieces will warp on firing if they are thin or shapes are unstable.
