For a lighter wieght mother mold try this. You've probably used medical plaster gauze? They make a fiberglass version. Just get it wet and it hardend pretty quickly. Two layers and you're done.

NEW! MoldGel SILFREE. A revolutionary formula.
Made with all food-grade ingredients. It nourishes
the earth when discarded. 3-to-1 mix ratio yields
twice the volume as those 1-to-1 brands. Delayed
shrinkage for delayed casting - so creamy smooth, too.

Fibers and mother molds:--
Hi everyone, I have been trying to work out some bugs in my lifecasting work.
Im trying to speed up my process and in doing so im comming accross bumps in the
road. Im looking for someone that can kinda think outside of the box and give me
some ideas or answers to the following questions.
1- Im looking for a short fiber or something that will allow me to kinda spread
or dust over the alginate before it sets to take the place of the cotton. Im
looking for something thats on the market and doesnt take an army to purchase!
2- Currenty I wet out large hand towels in plaster and drape them over the
alginate to create the mother mold. Cheap and fast but I would like something a
little lighter weight. I used cheese cloth at first but I just dont have a good
technique for it and dont wanna keep beating that dead horse! anyone useing
anything thats fast and economical?
Thank you for any and all help
