Topic Subject : Re: Re: guitar player's hand |
|
Dans right practice first before the real deal I have cast many hands in many positions
I usually do them in situ around the object I understand you have done that
problem being get it back around the object well
I cast them around the object
stage one
lifescast handaround neck of guitar remove hand from alginate mould
I' m guessing the guitar neck will be without strings and have a covering of say cling film then fill mould care fully slushing with i'm guessing plaster i usually use hot plasteline but that just me i can the sculpt more easily with this material
next remove alginate cast being left on the neck of the guitar clean up and mould in silicon making a small section of the guitar part of the cast
next remove silicon you will have to i'm guessing have a jacket or mother mould surrounding the silicone
cut the back of the silicon to get it off take away cast replace jacketed silicone on cling film neck and cast your cold cast resin bronze or what ever material in remove silicone and hey presto its there clean away cling film and any residue it quit e simple and very effective
hope it all goes well
go safley

Ann
while I do not know the answer - there are many ways to skin a cat -
I do know you must practice on a nonfamous guitarist first so you'll
be confident at the right time.
