Classic problem, but I can't seem to find anything that addresses it.
I'm trying to sculpt and mold flexible gloves for a Halloween costume. Lifecasting my hand and sculpting over it is no problem. The problem I run into is if this is true glove, with no clear space on either side of my hand, I don't know how to register the plaster lifecast inside of the (presumably) 2-part mold. The way I picture it. if I do nothing it will sag towards one side or the other and I'll have a thin section (or worse). I supposed I could also just slush cast it, but I'd rather have a tighter fit.
I guess the correct method would be to register the base of the mold some where further up my the lifecast of my arm where the glove isn't, then mold it vertically? I'm sure I've seen examples of a way to do this before, but I can't find everything, and all the google results tell me about glove molding, not molding.... a glove.
