HatoVit

The HATO®Vit K50 is a mould-able filling emulsion for sculptures, relief, props, candelabras, and masks. It makes a great material for prop making because it’s unbreakable, keeps its shape, can be nailed, and glued. Perfect for making terracota-style pots and vases that won’t smash! Fresh mouldings will show sharp contours and require no reworking. Ready to use straight from the pot, there is no loss of material in preparation. HATO®Vit mouldings can be over-coated with elastic paints when dry [standard scenic acrylics should be fine]. It should be borne in mind that HATO®Vit will shrink by 5 - 10%. If an accurate fit is required, the mouldings must be made correspondingly oversize. You can go on to make further castings of the HATO®Vit moulding but it recommended that only plaster of Paris is used. Haussmann recommend colouring HATO®Vit through the addition of up to 5% of HATO®Tex Paint [available to order, call us for a details and a swatch card]. We have also successfully coloured HATO®Vit with Rosco Supersaturated Paint prior to pouring into a mould with no adverse effects.
