Step 2Making the Mold
When choosing the object to make a mold out of, make sure that the battery case can fit within the shape, and that it has a flat backside (this is why I am only casting half of my object since it doesn't have a flat side). The bone shape I chose seem to house the battery case nicely, with a margin of 1/8" from all four sides of the battery case. Use some modeling clay to make a little handle or ring onto your object.
I placed some coins in the bone object for stability since it was hollow and would float. Use shoddy water displacement to guesstimate how much mold rubber solution you will need. Aim to make a bit more than that amount.
Spritz the mold release spray in the plastic container and all over the bone object and wait for however long your spray's instructions tell you to wait.
Wear your safety goggles and gloves and start preparing the mold solutions according to the kit's instructions, and get'cho mold on!
After curing time, plop out your object and voila! You got your mold for the resin body!
PS. You might need to make a hairline incision along the inner arch of the little handle in order to get the clay handle out.
