LatexSuitable materials for a master are porcelain, clay, plaster, stone, glass & wood. Attach the master to a base and create a plinth as this will help in the removal of the mould and assist in casting. Make sure the master is capable of removal from this mould, i.e. does not have any holes, steep undercuts or fine protrusions. The latex can be painted on or poured over the master or the master can be dipped into the latex. The first coats take up the detail from the surface of the master so be sure to blow away any air bubbles from the surface. Allow to dry between coats. It will chance colour significantly when dry (opaque white to translucent beige). Drying can be speeded up using a hair dryer. After 5 to 6 coats a thickener can be added to the latex so that stronger coats can be applied. Allow drying for 24 hours before removing the master. This can be assisted using soapy water. Dry before use. Soapy water can also be used to clean brushes.
