Antler mold
«

I'm trying to replicate a set of antlers and am having a heck of a time. I used mold max 30 (3/8- 1/2 inch thick) and can't get my motherhood separators to stay on with anything. What are good materials to use? Tried a piece if flexible vinyl and put silicone at the base of it. then the fiberglass mothermold stuck, and had to bust it all off. Just need some tips on how to put the separators on. Thanks alot, JasonF

Try a smaller condom with rubber bands. LOL
Sorry, just had to say it.

water clay works well to making a dividing walls for mother molds (assuming this is what you are talking about) Cover the waterclay in a thin layer of aluminum foil as a barrier to the polyester resin... waterclay sticks to the mold max 30
Hope this helps
