Munro76 Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 I have carved a timber master for a paddletail softplastic. I am after suggestions for sealing the timber to make it smooth before i make a silicone mold. Any suggestion appreciated. Thankyou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landry Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 The safest is to use KrylonCrystal Clear actylic from Michaels. It will not react with silicon and gives a fine spray sonpreserves your details. Coat your master with crazy glue and sand lightly with a fine grit this will stop the diners from raising in your wood. Epoxy will work with Tin Cure Silicone and it gives u the smoothest glassiest coat but takes away fine carving details. I do this all the time btw so this is Fact and tried and tested. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landry Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Two very thin coats works best AND it will not dry in oven cured polymer clay - ya learned that the hard way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
