Monster Gel CSF Slow

Monster Gel CSF Slow is the newest Prosthetic Grade Alginate from our friends at Monster Makers. This product comes from their range of new warm water set, alginates that mix easily to very creamy consistencies by hand. The CSF in the name stands for crystalline silica free. The ideal water temperature for this product is 80° Fahrenheit or 26° Celsius. The slower 7-8 minute set time allows for efficient moulding of larger projects such as head and body casts. Please note that this alginate should not be mixed with cold water. They are formulated to work with warm to very warm water. Cold water mixes can result in very slow and weak setting batches.Directions: The correct ratio is approximately 1:1. There is some variability of course, depending on the desired consistency. Keep in mind too that for the best strength, it is specifically warm water set. Ideal water temperature is around 26-32*C.
