you can either do this clay removal and pour cast the silicon.....into the fiberglass jacket
or you can also just paint the silicon on then reinforce it with putty silicon..
then add keys and cut lines or shims in thin formed plastic...
finally fiberglass mold....
when all is done ....cut the thin silicon between the pieces and there you have it...
one build mulit piece mould..
cool
depends on the situation and need.....casting the silicon has its advantages at times

The way that I do a silicone mold is to cover the object with clay about 1/8" thick. Then cover that with fiberglass with seams of course. After the fiberglass hardens, remove it and the clay. Place the fiberglass back around the object and pour the silicone into the empty area around the object. This way the silicone is uniform and smooth on the outside and is easy to place into the fiberglass backup as well as remove. Have you ever tried this way? Just wondering which is easier. Have a good day.
