I just purchased some great mold making products from the people at Smooth Cast and I am very impressed with their Silicone rubber and Feather Lite Urethane resin. The silicone is particularly nice and very user friendly; it's basically a two-part mix ratio and what a relief. Most Silicone RTV's require careful measurements. As for the Urethane resin, the stuff exhibits a nice consistency upon first pour and is very easy to work with.Mixing is the same for this product as well--equal parts A & B.
Another plus for using Silicone RTV is that you don't need a release agent, but if you plan to make several castings, you might want to try it in order to extend the life of the mold. As for me, I may only make a few castings for this recent project.
I wanted to give a big thanks to Joe Smith, a very talented sculptor, for his Smooth Cast products suggestion!
