How To Make a Brush‑On Mold Using Dragon Skin™ Silicone Rubber

Step 11: Demold / Finishing

Once the FlexFoam-iT!® X has fully cured (approximately 2 hours) the casting can be removed from the mold. Begin by removing the bolts and taking apart the support shell sections. Then remove the Dragon Skin® mold by rolling the edges up the base of the casting. Continue stretching and rolling the mold carefully over high points of the foam casting. Ultimately the Dragon Skin® 10 Fast mold is completely inverted to allow for removal of the casting. Dragon Skin® is one of the only silicone rubbers that is both strong and stretchy enough to allow for this kind of manipulation repeatedly.

The finished castings reflect perfect detail captured by the Dragon Skin® silicone. Many castings can be produced from a single mold.
