How To Make a Silicone Glove Mold and Faux Wood Casting

Step 8: Demolding Model From Mold

Once the Plasti-Paste™ has cured, the support shell can be removed. Before peeling back the rubber mold, apply some talc powder to the outside surface of the mold. The talc powder will make removing the Dragon Skin™ mold easier by reducing friction on the surface of the rubber. Begin removing the Dragon Skin™ by peeling it back from the base. Continue rolling the rubber mold over on itself. Dragon Skin™ is soft and stretchy enough to be completely inverted, like a glove.

The Dragon Skin™ rubber will reflect perfect detail captured from the original piece. Because the silicone is so stretchy, there is no need to cut the mold in order to remove the original.
