Hello there,
I am new to the forum and am in desperate need of some advice.
I have created a cast out of EasyFlo 120. from an original sculpture which was made out of Monster Clay.
For some reason, upon opening the cast the monster clay was stuck hard to the insides - despite my
using the appropriate spray release.
I have managed to pick nearly every bit out which has taken me over 24 hours.
The cast is very detailed with life like skin textures covering most of it - and the monster clay
though 98% gone is still lingering in the pours and creases - almost as a brown tint rather than chunks.
I have scrubbed with toothbrush and lighter fluid/Terpentine substitute but the brown tint wont shift.
I am worried that when I come to cast my final piece out of platinum silicone (Platsil) that the tiny amounts of residue
will transfer onto the silcone and ruin the piece.
I am using Ultra 4 Epoxy Parfilm mold release on the cast before I start the silicone process - will this succesfully stop the clay residue from
ruining the final piece?
Any advice greatly appreciated!
Yours desperately - Tim
