How Do You Make A Latex Plaster Mold?
Mold-making can sometimes be complicated, expensive and time consuming, particularly for a beginner sculptor or a hobbyist looking to dabble in casting. Molds are used to replicate an object in another material. Often the template object is a clay sculpture, but can also be an existing solid 3-dimensional object like a tabletop statue or holiday decoration. You may want to make a copy of a well-liked item or create your own props and original designs from clay. One easy way to reproduce your template object is to make a single-part mold out of latex and cast the reproduction in plaster. Decide what object you’d like to reproduce. You can use an existing object, so long as it is solid, or sculpt your own design out of Plasticine clay. Seal your Plasticine sculpture with Krylon Crystal Clear sealant and let the sculpture dry before continuing. Add a pyramid-shaped base to your object with modeling clay. This will create a funnel for you to pour plaster into when the mold is finished. Cov
