How Do You Make A Master Out Of Silicone Or Urethane? - carter1010 - 01-27-2009

Here is what I want to do. I want to cast a sculpture in Ultracal, and then make a silicone or urethane solid cast so that I can, if I desire way down the road, make a mold for silicone and / or resin. I have searched through all sorts of forums for the past few days looking for information on this subject. I have a sulfur free clay sculpt and I want to <a href=\"http://cgi.ebay.com/31-Michael-Myers-Halloween-mask-MASTER-COPY-MAKE%20MASKS_W0QQitemZ130283004484QQihZ003QQcategoryZ60361QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmiewItem\" target=\"_blank\">make something like this. </a> It is my understanding that a master would have minimal shrinkage and allow you to make another mold if for some reason yours was damaged or lost alot of detail with the additional plus of being able to mold in different materials. Can anyone tell me if I am on the right track and let me know what you need and how you do this? A link to tutorial would be awsome and I would be very grateful. Thank you,Brian
