Liquid Latex Molds

As I was checking the traffic for this site, I was amazed at the search words used to find it. Most of them questions and yet nobody goes to the trouble to post a reply here, to ask those questions. hmm
Liquid latex mold medium
different types of molds
how thick will liquid latex set
how to make a rubber mold of my hand
liquid latex art craft
liquid latex mold making tips
liquid rubber latex mold making
plaster of paris mold release compound


The answer to some of these search terms, goes like this.
Liquid latex is a brush on compound. You start with a thin layer, let it dry then add another layer. Never leave areas that are thicker than most of the layer you're working on. Don't let the layers sit over night, it's best to keep working the mold until you're finished.
Using a hair dryer will speed things up.
Keep layering until the mold is as thick as you want it. Anything from 1/16 inch to an inch (if you're that patient)

As for mold release compound for plaster, you can buy mold release or even make your own. To make your own, mix about 1/4 dish washing soap to 3/4 water. Brush on with a soft (short) paint brush. Let dry. Polish with a smooth, soft, dry towel. Reapply, dry, polish. It's best to build up 2 or 3 layers until you get a sheen.
The soap must be completely dry, before applying plaster to plaster.

I'll be glad to answer any questions. Just ask away. :)
