Hello! New to the forum.
How do i make a finnished mold out of this clay?
http://carbix.se/product.html/styling-lera?category_id=25
I have made a prototype looking similar to this:
http://a248.e.akamai.net/origin-cdn.volusion.com/hddtq.vzwer/v/vspfiles/photos/13440Z-2.jpg?1348857922
What would be the next step after making the prototype? I cant wax the clay or put release agent on it to make the gelcoat release...
Should i juste throw the s*** clay away and make a prototype out of someting else?
Best of regards from Sweden, great site u have here

The thing I would suggest you to do is use a vinyl wrapping stickersheet and put it onto the clay... its what they do, to make scale models of conceptcars...
you can 3D shape the vinyl onto the clay by using heat...after you've applied the vinyl you can just add releaseagent and gelcoat and so on.
