for Kryolan's Gel-Foam (Foamed Gelatin).


 

GEL-FOAM

Gel-Foam is a high quality foamed gelatin used to produce film and photographic quality prosthetics. Finished pieces are applied with skin safe adhesives such as spirit gum or medical adhesive. Blend edges with a brush and warm water.

  • Pretreat all molds which will come in contact with the Gel-Foam with a release agent. Epoxiparafilm or vaseline may be used.

  • Remove the needed quantity of Gel-Foam from its packaging.

  • Heat the needed amount of Gel-Foam in a Microwave safe bowl in your microwave until melted.

  • Keep watching the process until the foam starts to rise in your bowl. Do not let it boil.

  • Take the bowl out of the microwave but watch out; The Gel-Foam is very hot at this point!!!

  • Stir to an even consistency and to remove any large bubbles.

  • Now you can pour the hot foam into your mold.

  • Allow the Gel-Foam to cool for at least 20 minutes. Larger molds will require more time.

  • Remove from mold and powder to keep the piece from sticking to itself.

  • Unused portions of Gel-Foam may be stored and used again.
