How to Make a Full Head Mold with Body Double™

Step 4: Applying Body Double® Materials To The Models Face

Apply Body Double® STANDARD SET to the face. This batch has Silicone Thinner added into the mix to loosen-up the consistency of the silicone rubber. This will ensure that the material picks up even the most minute detail on the skin. Apply the first layer of Body Double® STANDARD SET from top to bottom and left to right.

NOTE: Do not lay the material up against the FAST SET yet; also leave the ears exposed for as long as possible so that your model can hear.

Now apply the second layer of Body Double® STANDARD SET, which should be applied directly onto the first layer after the first layer develops a tacky surface.We now have two layers of STANDARD SET applied. Once the second layer gets tacky, apply a third layer of STANDARD SET with Thi-Vex® II silicone thickener added to give the mold thickness (or structural integrity).
