Making Body Molds with Plaster Bandages

Plaster bandages are one of the many ‘tools’ in the life casting artist’s arsenal. The primary purpose of these plaster-infused gauze rolls is to make a shell mold that will reinforce the delicate alginate molds or flexible silicone molds. The plaster in the bandages will dry to form a rigid structure that will help the body mold retain its shape to ensure a proper casting.

Prepping Alginate to Receive the Plaster Bandages

Alginate is considered the best material for making molds from the human body prior to life casting. The powder can be easily mixed with water to form a smooth paste. It is easy to apply and sets quickly, thus making it easy for the model as well. The alginate mold captures details well right down to the pores and fingerprints. It is easy to demold as well.

Plaster Bandages for Making Face Molds

Plaster bandages are a very important accessory in the mold making and casting studio. They are primarily used to create shell or mother molds that serve to reinforce flexible molds. The plaster dries to form a rigid structure which encloses the rubber or alginate mold and enables it to retain its shape. Otherwise the original mold would just flop or distort when the casting material is poured inside it.

How Many Plaster Bandages Will You Need?

Plaster of Paris bandages are a versatile accessory when making molds, and especially body molds. The most common use of plaster bandages is for making shell molds. Also known as mother molds, they provide rigid support so that flexible molds made of alginate, latex rubber and silicone rubber can retain their shape. The shell mold is made over the original mold so that it can house the mold and ease the casting process.
