Sculpt the design you will use.
When you finish sculpting to make the clay look smooth and take away your finger prints use a little bit of mineral spirit. Can be with a brush or sponge.
When you complete your sculpt prepare Rebound 25 (with no thi vex) and use a brush to apply it (this layers will be thin) , tap it with the brush so it can get all the details sculpted. (apply every next layer when its tacky)
Pour some rebound 25 in a plastic paint palette to make the keys.
Apply 4-5 layers doing the same WITHOUT thi vex.
In the last layer of rebound 25 make at least 4 oz of A and 4 oz of B. If you want you can make more but it depends what size is your sculpt. Then when you mix them together start applying thi vex to the mix till it get like a paste. Use an ice cream stick to apply it. At the end start sticking the keys when you finish applying the rebound paste.
When the rebound its completely dry use free form to make the base.
When the free form its dry you can take everything out and clean the clay inside and cut the excess of the silicone. Make sure every time you take out the silicone put the keys in the right place.
Prepare the Smooth cast 300 same measurement A and B mix it and pour it in the mold and slush it around. MADE THIS STEP around 4-6 time. Here can see and example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6DEPBP4lWM
When you done with smooth cast step take out the mold clean it if necessary cut any excess with a dremmel and then use apply primer.
Paint it , apply details you want, straps , etc whatever you want and you are done!
