Plaster For Molds?

[andre]

Hey whats up guys, i have a question about molding. Could i use plaster to mold things? like a 2 part mold. me and 2 sources are planning on molding his armor for all 3 of use to use. we are going to meet up and discuss different ways on molding, detailing, all that good stuff but i thought i would ask you guys first to get your input. both of the 2 sources are from this site and one has a completed suit can you guess who it is?

Your best bet would have been to PM someone who has molded their armor. Or someone on the Q&A Team with molding experience instead of starting a thread. These are the little things that eat bandwidth and cost more money to keep this site going. Also, using plaster has been discussed before.

if your planning on making a latex armor, i wouldnt use it with anything else

 

[andre]

if by latex suit you mean plastic casts(which i think you don't but i don't know) then great.

plaster is only good for that casting latex

sry dude but plaster like link said only latex, if your using what Adam uses (smooth cast 300) which is a 2 part polyurethane u need silicone. but u might be able to use your plaster for the jacket but i suggest you use plasty paste.

hope this helps
