Materials Used in this Tutorial
- Rebound 25 Silicone
- Forton VF-774
- Bamboo Strips
Step 1: Preparing The Model
First, cut the bamboo wood strips and apply them to the lounge model. Then, seal the model using a clear acrylic spray.
Step 2: Applying & Demolding Rebound 25
Brush Rebound™ 25 mold rubber over the bamboo detail. Apply a support shell made of reinforced resin, and then when the the support shell is rigid, remove it. Remove and seat the silicone rubber mold into the support shell.
Step 3: Casting & Demolding GFRC
Apply GFRC to the rubber mold using a hopper gun. When demolded, the GFRC casting will reveal the perfect detail captured and reproduced by the Rebound® 25 mold. Stain the GFRC texture to match the color of the bamboo original.
