How to Cast Your Silicone Mould.

EQUIPMENT

3/4  Measuring cups
Glue gun
Fixing spray
Petrolise
Cling film
Scales
Silicone A
Silicone B
Old brushes
Deadner
Pigment (if desired)
Many sets of gloves
Baldez
Isopropanol



SILICONE MOULD

1. Spray with fixing spray.
2. Spray with petrolise
3. Cut a measuring cup in half and glue down around the mould and seal  and edges with glue gun.
4. Making sure scales and work surface are covered with cling film.
5. Measure silicones, 30g x 30g (Depending on size but both silicones have to be the same) changing gloves and sticks between them both.
6. Mix together,
7. Pour over sculpture in back and fourth motion
WAIT UNTIL DRY (1 HOUR)


ACTUAL WOUND

1. Remove silicone from mould.
2. Clean with isopropanol.
3. Spray mould with petrolise
4. Super baldez 1:2 Isoprpanol.
5. 2/3 layers of baldez - making sure to go wider than the wound so it replicates skin.
6. Leave to dry between each layer.
7. 8g of A
    8g of B
    10/12g of Deadner depending on area of skin, for a softer area like face you'd use more deadner
Using these as a basic measurement you can work out how much you would need to make depending on the size of the wound you are filling.
8. Add pigment.
9. Fill the mould and using a straight edge scrape over the top.
10. Let to dry.

Below are my casts being created and finished, I have yet to take them out the moulds as I don't know how I would do that as of yet.
