How To Create a Mold and Casting of a Prop Shield

Step 9: Casting with Free Form™ Air

Two coats of Ease Release 200™ are applied to the molding surface. Wax paper is laid over top the rolling pin board in preparation of the Free Form™ Air.

Free Form™ Air is dispensed in equal amounts for the first layer of the casting. Once again, Free From™ Air is mixed to a consistent color, placed on the board with a layer of wax paper placed over top and rolled out to a even thickness. The top layer of wax paper is pulled off revealing an evenly rolled out layer of Free Form™ ready to be applied to the molding surface

The first layer of Free Form™ Air is positioned and placed into the molding surface. The Free Form Air is then pressed into all the detail on the surface of the mold. The wax paper is removed from the Free Form™ Air.

Additional pieces of Free Form™ Air are applied like the first piece. Each piece is carefully applied to the mold surface slightly overlapping a neighboring piece. Care is given to making sure seams are tightly pressed in, when applying additional pieces adjacent to each other. All sections of the molding surface is covered with Free Form™ Air and all seams properly blended together.

The casting is allowed to fully cure overnight.
