Formetal Varius is the ideal support material for making free-form shells from papier-mâché, plaster bandages or other laminates. In terms of structure, it is actually an expanded metal. In order to prevent or reduce as far as possible the unintentional deformation of the other direction of the material when forming (stretching or compressing) in one direction, fine predetermined breaking points are incorporated in the material. They break audibly (crackle) when force is applied during stretching, so that the material is not pulled behind the acting force, but instead the meshes become larger. The predetermined breaking points also allow deformation in any direction. Expanded metals without these predetermined breaking points can essentially only be stretched in one direction.

Please be careful when processing Formetal! The expanded metal is quite sharp-edged, especially at the interfaces. Please protect your hands with the appropriate gloves when processing! Due to the sharp edges, Formetal is also not suitable for small children.

Formetal is very easy to shape. By pressing and tapping, you can easily remove existing molds. It does not show any tendency to recover and is wonderfully plastic to shape. To further process the molded metal into a solid shell, use Acrystal Prima acrylic laminating resin, for example. Use this to coat the molding metal. The laminating resin presses through the meshes to such an extent that an excellent bond is created.
