Hey, I´d like to make a mold from my Ep III Clone Helmet but I´m not quite sure how I could do this. I read some instructions, of course but I don´t know how if I need to put a mold release agent onto the helmet that it won´t stuck in the silicon.
@katkarot Hi, thanks for the interest. The average starting price for me to make a two piece silicone matrix mold with a fiberglass jacket is $1,200.00 You can find cheaper mold makers I am sure.The silicone is evacuated so there is little to no bubbles more on the no bubble side. If you or anyone else is interested in having a mold made please leave a message at 951-943-1217 or Email me (Ken) at finegore@aol.com
@commandersem Yes it is waterbased clay being careful not to let it rest on the helmet too much and covering the helmet with plastic wrap but you need to make sure the paint or clear coat is completely set or cured first.
@coldin71201 I use a pressure pot I purchased on Ebay. When you DeAir the silicone you don't have to worry about bubbles. I also place the tube in a spot where the silicone flows down to the low spots and then rises to fill any cracks and crevices. If you have any questions email me at finegore@aol.com

Great video, thanks. What is the material you apply to the clay layer before adding the fiberglass resin and matt?

nice Ken. So how did you pressurize the blue silicone rubber down the paper tube? How did you get it to cover the model without any surface bubbles?
