OK, so I was doing a latex mould of a clay helmet, and planned to reinforce it with plaster of paris bandage in a mother mould sort of fashion.
Only my mould completely failed :facepalm
As the Latex couldn't come off the clay sculpt without first removing the plaster of paris, I attempted to reattach said items, only to have my mould pretty much unworkable and out of shape.
So back to the drawing board - Thuston James' book offers advice on two part mould/casting, rejoining the fibreglass pieces (only I'm not too confident I can do that). I'm still tempted to have another bash at a one piece mould, only I think it'll probably go wrong.
So what I'm asking, is basically what would you do in my situation?
Thanks again
