How to prep a sloppy latex mould

Postby mel on Tue Aug 04, 2009 3:02 pm

Hi all,
I want to make a fibre glass case for a latex mould,but this mould is
really sloppy , Ive packed it with newspaper, so I could plaster bandage it, then filled it with plaster so I can make the support case, after doing all that it still came out disfigured.... is there a easier way, if so please let me know, thanks for your help appreciated.....

re fibreglass mother moulds

Hi,
You must make the case or mother mould before the latex mould is released from the original model. See our Tech Tips article on www.aldax.com.au on how to do this. Cheers Stan Alderson

That is how I would normally do it as you mention,I bought these beautiful moulds from a bulk sale and they came without cases,what I usally do is what I mentioned in my post, is this the only way or is there a easier way to prep a sloppy mould...
