to form mixed silicone and silicone oil in order to increase flexibility (you can not do for simple forms).Then brush silicone is applied to the model, avoiding gaps, promazyvaya all recesses and pores.Swabs should be smooth and soft to a silicone had no air bubbles.The bubbles will lead to the fact that recesses remain on the form that are further spoil the whole moldings.After the first layer of silicone is applied, the form must be strengthened, for example by means of gauze.It should be placed firmly, but not tautly, it should, as it were, imprinted in the silicone layer.

After drying applied several layers, allowing each to dry for 2-3 hours.The total thickness of the layers of silicone should get about 3 mm.There, where it is assumed a large mass of plaster, silicone layer should be made thicker.In places where the seal is required, it is convenient to apply silicon using a "gun."

large, complex and voluminous elements need to plaster the bottom to form maintained enjoy views of not "walking".To do this, constructed of boards or plywood frame size or shape appropriate box selected, in which silicone in the attached form.Then, PVA glue mixed with water, adding a little plaster and cement for strength, the mixture is poured slowly into the mold, leveling toolbox, level the surface and allowed to harden.After drying, the finished form of the base can be easily removed from the model.

the form

After he prepared the plaster.It must be remembered that it hardens very quickly, literally within 2-3 minutes of losing fluidity and 7-8 - plasticity, therefore dissolve and pour into a mold it must be fast.If the gypsum plant with hot water, it will harden faster.To prepare the plaster of 10 parts by volume of dry material in small portions pour in 7 parts of water and stir quickly, better, using a drill with paddle-mixer.A small amount of white glue, previously dissolved in water, will make the mixture more plastic, and finished moldings will not crack.The consistency of the mixture should be close to a liquid cream.

ready solution pour the prepared pan, spreading evenly over its gypsum vibrating movements.This is done in order to release trapped air bubbles that cause "shell" on the stucco surface.The surface of the mold filled with carefully leveled wide spatula.Dries product average size of 15-20 minutes.

Dry plaster element can be easily removed from the mold, if it was well missed separating liquid.Plaster moldings should be left for the final drying at room temperature for one day.
