Thanks!

[scootroc59]

Are you able to use the original body you used for the mold?

Do you need to put a release agent on the mold?

Thanks again!

[PANABA453]

@scootroc59 yes you can reuse the body after you make the mold, make sure you spray a mold release agent on it b4 you pour the plaster into i

[PANABA453]

@scootroc59 yes it is pegboard, its a plastic pegboard i had sitting around, but any thich pegboard will work,, and a release agent will be needed, i used cooking spray ,like Pan, it worked for me

[scootroc59]

What are you using for the vacuum former itself? Looks like pegboard.

Nice video!

Hi, do you get any issues with heat buildup? Looks like a pretty big mass of plaster... does the heat soften/damage the original body? Thanks for sharing this. Cool!

Might it be possible to displace some of the plaster in the middle with something (like a tupperware perhaps) to take up some of the volume? Just an idea.

[PANABA453]

@tymill negitive it works perfect give it a try,you will be amazed

[mxf7010g8k]

[PANABA453]
