Hi,

I've got a project that I want to do but don't know where to start. I want to make a silicone mould of a sparrow. I've bough the silicone/resin starter kit but feel quite lost about what the correct way of mixing it up is etc. Also, I'm praying that I have bought the right product. I am slightly wary about the organic nature of the object (the fact that its porous) and the cure time with that. 

Any help and advice would be brilliant.

I have read your post a while ago and kept thinking of it, I think I found an idea you could test;
Take the sparrow and dip it epoxy or polyester, let the resin drip of and cure, you should have a hard shell around your sparrow to make a silicone mould of...
Just brainstorming Smile not sure if it will work but is worth a try I guess
