Topic Subject : Copying Castings |
|
Hello again,
Well, I have tried some more lifecasting, this time using some of Dave Parvin's tips on using cheesecloth, and the results are incredible. Beautiful castings have been made. No more pitting, wrinkling, etc. Just a few little dimples where there were some lumps in the alginate. (The stuff I am using right now is known for being a little lumpy, if anyone has any suggestions on a smoother alginate good for torso or larger projects, just let me know). But not too bad for a beginner!!
Now another question. I have a few castings out of plaster / hydrocal (sorry, Dave!!) that I feel are good enough to make a few copies of. Now, how do I go about copying these casts? I am guessing I would need to make some sort of rubber or silicone mold for them, but figured I would ask the experts.
Thanks for your help once again,
Ben Larson
