    Dec 10, 2008 - How To Make Cast's & Mold's of Props. Need Everybodys Input! #1

    Ok, so I'm sure most of everything I'm gonna ask has been addressed here before, but I thought I'd make a definitive thread. I want to start sculpting and making casts of props, but I am very new to it. Just thought everybody who knows what there doing could help.

    I don't know how to sculp, what clay to use, drying times, ect. Them molding the item, like making the box, pouring the material, what kinda material to use, then making the cast in resin, what kinda resin to use, stuff like that. I'm looking to make small props, nothing huge like helmets or anything, but any help would be great, I would love to have lots of info before I do anything.

    O, and also where to get all the materals. Thanks much for any help!!!
