Candle Wax or soap making expert?
I need to pour alot of wax into a wooden bowl... to basically make a structure I can make a latex mold of.
Lets see if I can make this make sense. I need to end up with a rather large round object made of resin. So I bought a bowl that would work perfectly. Problem is I need to make a mold of the interior of the bowl with a rubber mold compound. That isn't going to work. So I'm going to fill it up with wax. pop the wax out, and make a mold of the bottom of the wax... which would then be the same shape as the interior of the bowl.
Problem is I've never used wax before, so I was hoping some candle makers or something of that nature could help me. How do or what do you use to get wax to come out easily a mold? A wooden mold?? So basically what is a good mold release. Any insight could be helpful.
You can use oil or liquid soap to help release the mold, but I'd try getting some thin plastic, saran wrap type stuff, putting that on your bowl, then pouring, it should release easy, but could cause wrinkles in the surface. If the bowl isn't something you need to keep another option would be to make a plaster cast of the bowl, and then pour your latex/resin into the plaster cast. Make sure you put shims in the plaster so you can get it apart somehow, but plaster is fun to work with and very true to the original form. If you have a decent art supply store, not crafts, like Micheals, but art supply, they should be able to help you more. Good luck. I'm curious as to what you're making.
