The original is a carved wood model. In most cases when reproducing a wooden original, it is important to also reproduce the woodgrain. Gather all materials, including accessories, prior to beginning the mold making process. Begin by securing the original model to a melamine board using hot melt glue. Next, spray the original model with Ease Release™ 200 release agent. This will aid in removing the cured silicone mold from the original.
