Sample of Hydrocal Tile made at Colson Studio
SAMPLE TEXT
FROM: HYDROCAL TILES
"A hydrocal tile can be made without
the use of glazes or a firing process. The mixture of hydrocal is the
same as that for mixing plaster.
In this
chapter we will introduce the use of a rubber molding material. This
will allow undercuts of relief forms to occur in our
three-dimensional design. An undercut is normally a raised surface
area, which has an overhang above the base surface. Other, more
complex configurations, with cavities or extended tunnels, can be
made using rubber configurations, which would otherwise be very
difficult to achieve.
There are
several kinds of rubber. Some rubber materials are catalytic which
require a part "A" to be mixed with a part "B" of equal parts. This
kind of rubber is good because of its fast set up and cure time,
which can take only a few minutes.
However, we will use "Latex" rubber, because it is universally
available
and very simple to use."
