"Make And Cast Your Own Latex Molds"
Page 6 of 7

Author: Tamara_Dozier, Contributing Editor

It's almost impossible to get rid of every bubble but if you take the time to do these extra steps you won't be surprised by a big hole on the surface of your casting that was once a trapped bubble.
Now it's time to top off the mold. Another tap or two on the side of the mold to level off the hydrostone then it's just a matter of waiting 30 minutes to an hour for the hydrostone to set enough for me to pull the molds off.
Time to pull the molds! First the mother mold comes off. Be careful of those rubber bands. They smart when they snap.
Removing more pieces of the mother mold.
After that I pull the latex mold off. It's just like a thick rubber glove and peels off easily.
