Brother Frank pointed out the thickness of the Buddha mold used as an example in this video. Although the small Buddha mold in this video has around 30 layers, I wouldn't necessarily go up to 30 layers on a mold so small and would usually go up to around 30 layers with molds exceeding sizes of around a foot in size. The Buddha mold in the video is just an example of thickness and I should have explained in video perhaps. With very small molds like the Buddha mold shown in the video, I would probably apply around 10-15 layers with a mother mold, although applying 30 layers would mean not needing a mother mold, so there's a few 'swings and roundabouts' to consider and lots of ways to do the same thing.

Thank you for putting this out Drama. Always appreciate your techniques and by the way great T-Shirt
Thank you Isa and always appreciate your comments! Re: T-shirt - I'm guessing you are a Bladerunner fan too? :)
Very informative video 👌😊
Cheers Anne! :)
Just subscribed! Love your videos. And now I have a question... when do you, if at all, use a thicknesser please?
Thanks for sub! I made a daft video regarding latex thickner: Why I Don't Use Latex Thickener: th-cam.com/video/v_lRnEctm1o/w-d-xo.html
Thank you
Thank you Joelle! :)
Hi there, could you do a large sculpture with a latex seam and fibreglass mother mould? That would be a helpful tutorial... the concrete artisan does it with magazine paper but never really shows in detail
How long do you wait after your last layer before unmolding the original?
Usually wait for 28 days or a month before removing the full mould/mold.
Hi mate how long can i leave latex on model .i want to do fibre glass mother mold but out of stock of the 5kg dont want to buy bigger batch
Do you have to clean the brush between coats or you can just leave it in the latex container? And how do you clean it - with water?
Leave the brush in a glass of water with a drop of washing-up liquid. Cold water, not warm. Very important. Just wipe off excess water before painting, but do not wipe the brush dry.
@@stefanj.593 Thanks :)
I'm usually quite lazy with these kind of things and just leave the brush in the container containing the liquid latex. I cover the container with the brush at night and just keep on going. I'll change the brush when it starts to get clogged, etc, which might be every 10-15 layers. :)
@@dramamask I'm lazy too so this advice will come very handy ;) Thanks
Hello, thank you very much. I stupidly have colored latex because my model is white. The light fresh layer dries within 30 min and becomes darker. But I do not know if somewhere underneath are still spots a little thicker that have not yet dried. Is that bad?
It'll be the same process regardless of the colour. If you're not too sure, just test out on a piece of card, paper, or something to get to know how your latex behaves. :)
After the second layer of latex I put toilet paper in between layers and a balled up piece to avoid use for vacant areas
hi I'm planning on making the mother mould of the same Easter island head that you did it will be my first attempt to fiberglass anything can i ask you how much resin i would need and how much matting also i don't have the carnauba wax only a wax for buffing up wood its not got silicone in it would that work then the pva release agent on top thanks wayne
