How to make a mold from antique detailing?
I have a gorgeous mirror but in the center of the crown there is a big chunk of the detailing (leaves) broken of. I can copy it from the other identical side. I was thinking to duplicate it by pouring some material (not sure what) over it. (making a mold) I would let it dry and than possible filling it in with a liquid that hardens and take it out so I can use that to fill in the missing piece. That way I can glue it in on the missing site. Anyone done anything like this like making antique detailed victorian pieces. I am not sure what to use to make the mold. It has to dry fast and bring out the intricate detailing. I was thinking to rub it with vaseline first so it will not stick to the original detailing. Any idea's? Which products will work?
I would rub the area to be duplicated with lotion and use molding clay to make a exact duplicate, then put the piece in a tray either lines with foil or sprayed with cooking spray and make a cast out of plaster of paris when that hardens you now have a mold and can use a number of materials to duplicate and stain I would probably try air drying clay or resin make sure to grease your molds each time.
