This dark brown, hard styling clay can be used to create accurate prototypes and patterns. Y2-Klay is workable at 135°F and is hard at or below room temperature. The sulfur-free, low odor formula of Y2-Klay makes for a better working environment, and is 30%-40% lighter than other industrial styling clay; making the models easier to move and handle. Resistant to shrinking and cracking, Y2-Klay holds excellent surface detail and can be milled or shaped with tools.

Final clay forms made with Y2-Klay can be used as a plug, impression mold, or as a male or female mold. In order to use Y2-Klay as a mold-making material, the clay surface needs to be primed or top coated. To prepare the clay surface, spray 3 mist coats of PVA directly onto the clay. After the PVA has dried into a film, #1041 Duratec Gray Surfacing Primer or Tooling Gel Coat can be sprayed over the PVA to obtain a proper mold surface.
*Note: If Y2-Klay is used as a mold-making material, the original clay form will likely be destroyed.

PVA Release Film

Inexpensive and Effective Barrier

PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) should be used with #1016 Wax to aid in the release of parts from a mold. It should be applied in three thin mist coats over nonporous, waxed mold surfaces. After the final wax coat has dried, begin by spraying a light tack coat of PVA. Typically, within 5 minutes the final heavier coats can be added. The PVA dries to form a smooth, glassy film. After part release, the residual film can be removed with water. We recommend using our 123-A or 126-A Touch Up Spray Guns for larger molds, but for smaller molds, use our 2251 Preval Sprayer . PVA can also be sprayed over any polyester repair to provide an airless tack-free cure.

Black Tooling Gel Coat

Extend the Durability of Molds

Tooling Gel Coat is an abrasion resistant gel coat for making molds where gloss retention, superior hardness, exceptional craze resistance and minimum distortion are paramount. The life of a good polyester mold may be extended considerably by the use of tooling gel coat. For best results, build the film thickness to 20 -25 mils. #1040 Hi-Gloss Additive can be added to further upgrade the gloss.
Formulated for 1.5% - 2.5% MEKP.

186/69-A kit contains (1) QUART RESIN, (1) 69-A.
186/69-B kit contains (1) GAL RESIN, (3) 69-A.

Duratec Gray Surfacing Primer

Perfect for Plug Finishing and Hiding Repairs

Duratec Surfacing Primer is the best choice for coating your plug or reconditioning your mold.Thin 5%-15% if necessary to a desired spray viscosity with #2306 Duratec Thinner after catalyzing. This surface primer can be applied as heavily as 45 mils to fill fabric pores on plugs or over repairs. With a higher heat distortion temperature, shrinkage is reduced. This further hides the repair.The gray primer sands easily and is then buffed to a Class 'A' mirror finish before building the mold. Requires 2% MEKP.
