tightliner Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hello all Need a little help if you can. I made a model of a lure I want to reproduce via pop mold. The model is made of wood and I need to know what to seal the wood with before I go further. Any help would be much appriciated, thanks.

After I seal my master do I have to put anything else on it so the plaster won't stick to it? Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I've never been able to make a POP mold using a hard master, from either wood or clay. The POP sticks to the undercuts and irregularities, and locks the master in. Try making an RTV silicone mold, so you can get your master back out.
