Basic Silicone Mask Making

Here's a simple method for making your own silicone masks over a plaster lifecast or generic head form. Gel-10 has incredible stretch so a generic mask may fit many different people. We made this mask with about 2 hours of work and a 2 lb kit of silicone.

how much did this whole project cost?

[brickintheyard]

@3K85 Cost per mask will depend on what size kit of Gel-10 you are using. If you are working out of a small, 2lb kit, your coast for silicone would be ~$36. All the pigments are used in very small amounts so the total cost in additives per mask might come to about ~$5.

Is there anything that will do the same job as mold soap, besides mold soap ?
