How To Make a One Piece Mold of a Head Using Body Double™

Tint, mix, and pour Smooth-On's Foam-iT!® 5 expanding urethane foam into the mold cavity. Foam-iT!® 5 will serve as a strong, lightweight backer, saving material costs while maintaining good structural integrity. Once the resin and foam have fully cured, the casting can be demolded.

Body Double® can be peeled away from the casting and is strong and flexible enough to be turned inside out. This versatility makes Body Double® an ideal lifecasting material. Finished casting reflects perfect detail from the original model captured by the Body Double® silicone. Many different castings can be produced with a single Body Double® mold with endless possibilities for finishes.
