dvowell Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hey Jim, I buy the stuff at Hobby Lobby and I've heard of it being carried at many other hobby/craft type stores as well! Good luck finding it locally! -D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassnfool Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Jim: I did a Yahoo search on Envirotec Lite and Environmental Technology's site came up, searched "Where to Buy" and a ton of retail outlets came up. I just ordered some from Dick Blick Art but it won't be in until next week. Let me know how it turns out and I'll do the same. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungeonhawk5 Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 are you guys using it straight or watering (just the term) it down some, diluting it with something? I am working on some molds, and considering using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landor Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 If you have a Michael's craft store you can tell them to give you a 40% discount on any regular priced item and save some money. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On coating cavities give the first coat a real good thick one and let it soak in if your using plaster or Ultracal. Brush the excess around to the spots that soaked up the most till it's all soaked up and you can speed cure it in the oven at 190 for an hour then let it cool with the oven off for another hour. The next coat just brush it on real thin so it just shines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 They had it at Hobby lobby and Micheal's. Just so happens I did have the 40% off coupon as I was shopping some glitter also!!! Thanks guys!!! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dutchman Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Are you using the two-part or using the spray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted March 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I bought the 2 part because they did not have the spray.. I used it last night and other than the fumes, etex is way better than the high heat enamel paint I was using. The paint needed long dyring times and had to be reapplied on my p.o.p. molds frequently. Devcon worked but took away a lot of detail even when thinned.

charkins Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I tried something different to coat my molds. I used Flex Coat rod wrapping finish. I used the Lite build formula as it is a little thinner. I have been giving the molds two coats and not losing much detail to the mold. Only downside is that you need to let the mold set overnight between coats. The Flex Coat doesn't smell as bad as the other sealers.

WVaGitzit Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Is the flex coat a little more expensive though? But if it works well then maybe worth the extra cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charkins Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 The flex coat is easier to mix, doesn't smell and maintains detail better. At least in my opinion. It does cost more, but I am only making molds for my own use. So, a little difference in price is not such a big deal. You can get the Flex Coat from Barlows and I am sure some of the other places carry it to. Cal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
