    I'm tossing around the idea of making a mask from a sculpture that I did. The only problem is I don't know how to make the mold. I do know how to do it within reason but I've been on youtube for hours now trying to find a "how to" on actually making the mask, but I've not seen a single one that shows the complete steps. If they are showing the complete steps, then there is something that I'm not seeing. Where I get confused is when it comes to pouring the latex...I understand that when you have to use the original sculpture to make the mold, but when that's done and you've got the mold itself complete what comes next? I know this probably sounds dumb, but I've never done this before so please bear with me....Imagine that I've got the front and back of my mold strapped together and ready to pour the latex...What do I do? How does the mask get hollow? If I pour the latex into the mold, then when it cures, won't I just have a big rubber head when I pull it out? Is there something else that goes into this that I'm missing. Every video that I've seen so far shows from pouring the latex on. I watch them fill the mold up and then they leave it sit for 24 hours or so, and when the come back, the mold is nice and hollow again with a nice coting of latex around the inside. They then break the mold apart and take the mask out.For anyone who's reading this and laughing, please let me applogize for my ignorance in this matter, but as I said this is my first time.Any help or how to steps would be greatly appreciated.-Joseph
