As a reminder from the previous blog post, tin silicone has been used this type of silicone is used for mould making and again it is important to remember that it is not skin safe! Wear protective gloves when handling the product.
Products will be thoroughly mixed together (10% catalyst) the image below shows what was used.
Once the silicone is thoroughly mixed together, it is time to start putting it on the cast use a paint brush for this. Here are a couple images demonstrating the process.
Once this layer of silicone had set another layer was added to ensure that it was thick enough for future use. Which is shown in the image below.
Now the final layer of silicone has set it is time to make a 'jacket mould' made out of mod rock to support the silicone. The reason this needs to be done is because the silicone is a flexible material meaning it can easily move around and needs support when creating multiple casts. In another post I will show how a jacket mould is made.
