Topic Subject : Re: Release Agent for Clothes? |
|
I've used canola oil with success. Keep in mind that the more fibrous the clothing material is the more it will mechanically stick to the alginate. It's best to use a lycra or spandex type material. Also keep in mind that when you wet the clothing with the oil the cast will come out looking like it's wearing a wet t-shirt. Another option is to cast the model nude and put the clothes on later. I've soaked the clothes in a thin plaster mix and applied it to the cast. This gives you more control on how the clothes will look...wrinkles, creases, etc...
