Default mold making help

okay...............sighs.............

I could use some mold making help.

I tried to make a silicone mold of a skull. I did not use any type of release (I was told on another list that releases were not necessary for silicone....I now have a stuck skull.............lol...........

I have virtually no experience with mold making, but I want to try all the different types. Over the next few days I will attempt a POP mold, and I would like to try making a plastic mold.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hex

This sounds like it'll be right up Vlad's alley of expertise. I want to try molding myself someday.

Hi Hex. The links are in the How To section. But first tell us what happened with the silicone mold. What was the skull made out of? Is the silicone stuck to the material, or held on by undercuts on the original?
