How To Mold and Cast a Resin Sculpture ‑ Ghost Rider

Step 8: Finishing

Optional - Apply Black acrylic paint to the base of your casting, using the "Dry Brush" technique. Let the black acrylic paint dry, and recoat until you achieve a uniform black coating. In the meantime, apply Off-White acrylic paint to the face of the casting, using the "Dry Brush" technquie. Let the off-white acrylic paint dry, and recoat until you achieve a uniform coating.

Dry brushing is a painting technique in which a paint brush that is relatively dry, but still holds paint, is used.

After the painting is completed, apply a few layers of a clear acrylic coating (Matte or Gloss). This will protect the paint from chipping off of your model. Next, apply decorative spikes or other pieces to model of your base via Super Instant™ epoxy adhesive. Super Instant™ is a two component, clear amber adhesive designed to provide rapid bonding. When mixed 1:1 - curing takes place quickly enough to permit handling in 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature.
