MOLD:
Rubber mold-positive to negative. The clay-covered foam statue is
coated with a urethane-rubber compound that sets to create a flexible
"negative" mold. The exterior of the mold is coated with
plaster, fiberglass or urethane plastic. This makes the rubber mold
rigid while leaving untouched the interior negative impression in
the mold, from which the styrofoam is removed and discarded. The mold
is designed to be taken apart in sections, each of which will be separately
cast.
