MODEL MAKING WITH MOULDING POWDER

MAKE A MOULD SUPPORT

Wet the rim of your mould and print it on a piece of cardboard. Cut out a hole in the cardboard according to the mark

BEFORE YOU START

Rest the mould support over a jar. Check the mould hangs freely. Read all the instructions before you start mixing the powder and water

MAKE THE MIXTURE

1. Pour water into the mould. Pour water from the mould into a mixing bowl. Put the mould in the mould support.

2. Sprinkle powder into the mixing bowl until water is absorbed by powder.

3. Stir mixture to remove lumps but avoid air bubbles in mixture.

4. Half fill your mould with mixture. Gently squeeze mould to expel air bubbles in ears and nose. Top up the mould with the remaining mixture.

5. Leave to dry for about 25 minutes

STRIPPING THE MOULD

6. Wet outside of mould with soapy water. Peel the mould from the base, hold the base tight and strip the mould quickly.

7. Leave to dry for 24 hours before painting
