I paint statues for a man who owns a statuary business here. He's told me about making molds but never knew how he does it so now I know. Thanks for the video.

Hi. I make my own sculptures. My most recent is an angel. She is a pretty complex piece with a flowing gown and large wings, and I'm not sure how to make the mold. Have you ever had experience with something like that, and do you have a place where I could possibly send you photos of the project for advice?

Hi could I ask is natural latex or prevulcanised better for casting?

Do you use mold release agent before applying first latex coat? If no, why?
