Do you need to use a release when pouring in the Urethane RTV molding rubber into the mother latex mold?

[tapplastics]

@stacky852002 Mold release is recommended when casting with urethane.

[Planetsp00n]

would the latex get damaged if i where to use clear casting resin in it?

[tapplastics]

@Planetsp00n No, Clear-Lite Casting Resin does not harm latex molds.

@ladyborat1 Yes, as long as they are not in your mouth.

@Espie1979 Cost! Latex molds use less volume of a less expensive material. A latex mold can be made for a very few dollars. But, you are right, it can be time consuming.

@MaddoxDare Go to any hobby store and ask for a glue gun. It is a common item for temporary bonding.

[MaddoxDare]

what is that in 1:03??? glue gum???

[Espie1979]

what a time consuming method. what is the advantage of latex over silicone rubber? Silicone rubber is much less fiddly than this method
