Artist's Comment:
"I use this product for making quick moulds, but also for pouring a hard silicone master replica of my doll (I will be doing a video on this shortly). Just use it as you would ecoflex to pour into the mould, although it says vacuum degassing is not necessary I would still degass it, as there is a reasonable pot life time. When it is cured you can demould from the glove mould easily as there is some flexibility. You can thicken it with Thi-Vex for fixing and seaming your new replica master, and then you have a master copy of your baby to re-mould as many times as you need to. The hardness of this silicone means it picks up detail really well which is what you need for making a replica for remoulding.
It is a really versatile silicone, plenty of time for the bubbles to dislodge and rise to the top of the mould. Also perfect for box moulds. I really love this stuff!!! I've been using Mold Star for a few years for various jobs - I used to use it for embedding the 'spine' in my fae toddler El'lenor, it's so handy to have in the studio."
