High Tech Materials Create a Horrific Zombie

Step 1: Applying Mold Max 30

A plaster positive of the model’s face should be backed with clay, both for support and as a mold making key. Use Mold Max® 30 silicone rubber to create a mold of the plaster/clay positive. The mix ratio for Mold Max® 30 is 100A:10B by weight. For this application 1,000 g of Part A and 100 g of Part Be are measured using an accurate gram scale.

Pour Part A into a larger mixing container, then add Part B and mix thoroughly, scraping the sides and bottom of the container until a uniform color is reached. Add Thi-Vex® Silicone Thickener and mix to allow the rubber to become brushable. A mold of the lifecast is made by brushing the Mold Max® silicone onto the surface of the positive; attaining a thickness of 3/8''. Allow to cure completely.
