helmet molding using caulk!

[troubleis1983]

ok so im back from fighting fire in texas! so I thought I would give this a try with my rouge helmet, and unfortunately it didn't work out as great as I wanted to! so im alittle bumed but this was the first time trying this so ill take it as a learning experience. lol I think the release agent that use just wasn't cutting it.

I use 100 percent petrolem jelly, nothin sticks to that lol, sorry to hear of you trouble bro.

I have used something similar to this method but with some additions

1. pump 1/2 a tube of silicone into a bowl
2. add 1 tablespoon of Glycerin to the silicone
3. add a small diameter (about the size of a nickel) of any color acrylic paint
4. mix it together and apply

The glycerin makes the silicone smoother to spread and the acrylic makes it "kick" faster. You can use 2 different colors to ensure you get coverage with each layer.

Only drawback is do not place a layer more than 1/8th inch thick at a time. BUT with how much faster it cures you can do several layers in a day....

Guys, calm down on both sides. Takes this to pm and lets resolve this. Or I'm closing the topic.
I will probably delete the posts that have anything to do with it.
