De-molding.
Silicon mold from 3D object.
Working on surface 3D print object.
Diving the section of the object.
Put silicon on the object.
Its very important that adding very thin coat. Because, it helps captured all the details.
After 3 or 4 silicon coats, sometimes adding the forms in the big gaps.
It helps level of the surface and save the materials as well.
After this adding more silicon 2 or three times.
Working on Flag. This object is made in fabric. using a special seal before adding the silicon. Get ready for next step.
The fist coat is very important. We want capture the all the original details .
