How do you cast a silicone doll’s head?
What material do you use to sculpt the original [would modelling clay suffice?], what material would I need to cast the mold, are there specific types of silicone specific to doll heads, and what type of paint would you use to color the eyes, detail skin, etc. ?
I’ve tried looking online, but I keep finding “silicone breast implants, silicone house siding”. Please help!
about 4 years ago, I needed to make a replica of a fish and some other animal for testing a servival device (used for hunting but hand operated) and I was looking at body casting.
most of it dealt with casting people using plaster of paris, but on some of the tab links on the supply sites, they offered resins for silicone and exotics for scary masks for halloween or such things.
it has been too long ago to still have that in the history of my IE files, and you will have to go along for a while to find suppliers.
good luck
