Are you asking about the heat from plaster bandages? If so, the heat or exotherm is minimal.

Help! I already did two one-piece silicone castings from lifesized chavant clay heads. When I place the finished mold in the support shells and start turning it around to slosh around the silicone for reproducing, the silicone mold is flapping around and falling down from the plaster wall. What did I do wrong? Sorry for the bad english.

Without seeing your mold, I would suspect that you didn’t make the silicone mold thick enough. Another option would have been keying the silicone to the plaster mold. For an example of this, look at BITY’s rotomolding video with the “Swamp Monster” head.

Thanks! The silicone mold is at about 5 mm thick. If I make it thicker maybe I won’t be able to pull it off the clay head like a glove. . . ? Yes my next attempt will be trying to key the silicone to the plaster.

how many time do you think you can use this mother mold since its plaster?

I made that mold almost a year ago and it is still in use with little wear on it. Another mold made the same way in 2003 is still in use and aside from resin spilled on the outside still looks and works great.

where exactly can you buy plaster bandages? Im right now thinkin Michaels arts store, but could i get another suggestion

By: brickintheyard

brickintheyard — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:37:25 +0000

These are a high grade bandage. They are available on our webstore. Go to the link at the end of the video.

Try to find an artist store rather than going to Michael’s, which is a craft store. Michael’s doesn’t have much at all, and when it does have what you are looking for, it is usually expensive. In Portland, Oregon, a great place is “Art Media”. I only know Portland though. . .

Or you could go to our webstore and get them shipped!

and these would work on a clay sculpt if i was making a latex mask?

By: brickintheyard

Not sure what you mean.

By: marcussatu

marcussatu — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:31:31 +0000

instead of using it for a silicone mask would this work if i was making a latex mask with a clay sculpt on the armature first? look at my video titled “Deformation sculpt” and you’ll see what i mean

I don”t think so. We carry the high grade here in our shop and they are reasonably priced.
