Removing metal shims, you can see the flange dividing the figure in half. After this step we sprayed on the rubber mold material. |
Spraying action shot. The loaded gun weighs almost 15 pounds. It was worth while to build the figures to be able to lay them down horizontally. Much easier to spray down and much less over spray. |
Lester using air pressure to help release the mold. |
Mold sections, even though we used air pressure to release we ended up peeling clay off the armature. Actually , this works very well as it's easier to reclaim the clay. |
Of the 20 molds we made this way we only broke one. The plastic material was easily repaired with a 2 part epoxy made for plastic repair. |
The face after peeling off the mold. This scrapes off the ears and damages the figure. No matter the molds are perfect. |
