    Questions on molds and casting

    How do you make a mold of your work and cast it? I've read a lot about it, but it's about as clear as mud to me.

    go to the smooth-on website, www.smooth-on.com, and download the free pdf on how to make a mold using RTV silicone rubber. there are plenty of pictures and it makes it easy for beginners to follow

    I would also buy their DVD. It is great. I would also go to www.freemansupply.com as well. They also have online video and a DVD. I would also get The Prop Builder's Molding & Casting Handbook (Paperback)
