�Mould Making

	Remove the dovetailed clay supports. Clean up the mould.
	Poke in the clay some shallow round depressions about �" deep all around the sculpture, so that the two halves of the fibreglass backing can key together later.
	Put a dam surround around the edge of the main clay support so that liquid resin will not spill out when the fibreglass support for the silicone rubber is laid on.
	Building a dam. Brush some release wax over the clay.
	Build up 6 layers of glass fibre cloth, rolling in polyester resin to bind them together. Let set for a day.
	Putting on the first layer of fibre matting
	Puddling in the resin.
	3 to 6 layers of fibre and resin. First half finished.
	Turn mould over and remove all clay. Let dry. Wash mould with soft brush and cold water. Let dry.
	Brush on a layer of release wax.
