How To Make a Block Mold of a Four Legged Animal

Step 3: Demolding

Carefully separate the base board from the mold. Gently release the points where the model and wooden dowels are attached to the board.

EXTRACTING THE MODEL: The reference line drawn on the base board has transfered to the mold rubber and is visible on the surface of the mold. A pair of helping hands is recommended during this process to hold the mold walls apart while cutting. Carefully cut the mold with a series of small slices using the reference line as a guide. Work your way through the Mold Max® 30 using the lines on the surface of the mold and model as guides. Continue to make small careful cuts following the lines until the horse can be comfortably extracted from the mold.

NOTE: Do not over cut the rubber mold as this will cause problems with alignment. Remove the original model from the Mold Max® 30 mold.
