Tools:
-Mould
-Wooden sticks
-Gloves
- Plastic measuring cups
-Fixing spray
-Petrolease
-Silicone A
-Silicone B
- Deadener
-Baldies
- Scales
-Pigment
- Metal scraper
Making the pieces using your mould:
1) Clean the mould with alcohol on a cotton pad/tissue, to get into any cracks or small spaces you can use alcohol on a cotton bud. Powder/talc this well.
2) Make a mixture of baldies and alcohol, ratio = 1 baldies: 2 alcohol
3) Once clean, give the mould a good spray with petrolease
4) Apply three layers of the baldies mix. Make sure the layers aren't too heavy and let each one dry completely before applying the next. You can use a hair dryer on a cool setting to assist with the drying.
5) To make my bullet would I will be using 8 grams of silicone A, 8 grams of silicone B and 12 grams of deadener.
6) Using the same set up and process as I used to make the mould with the silicone, I will use the same to make he flat piece mixture. Placing a clean cup, with clean gloves onto the scales covered in cling film, measure out 8g of A and then 8g of B (Make sure you use a clean wooden stick for each silicone remember). Then taking another clean stick measure in 12g of deadener.
7) Once you have the correct measurements of all the ingredients you can add a pigment to colour the piece in any colour of your choice. I added a pale fleshy tone to match the skin of my model I will be applying the piece to.
8) Once the mixture is complete you can now pour this into your mould
9)
Use something completely flat and with a sharp edge (a ruler will do)
to smooth out the mixture and flatten out the edges for a more seamless piece.
10) Wait to set
11) Once set powder the mould well, use something like a spatula
to pick up the edges of the piece. Once you have the edges up use a
cotton bud covered in powder/talc to carefully and slowly remove the
piece from the mould.
