Body Casting: How to Mold a Female Torso Using Body Double Silicone

In this video tutorial, we show how to body cast a female torso using Body Double Lifecasting Silicone. This mold was made using a model who was partially clothed, nude except for denim shorts.

In order to allow the Body Double to release from the shorts which are worn by the topless model, we use Vaseline to seal the pores of the denim fabric. The Vaseline allows the silicone to release from the shorts easily.

Body Double Silicone is combined with Hyperfolic release additive to make a self-releasing silicone which captures extreme detail, down to the model's tattoos! A plaster bandage support shell is made, and then duoMatrix NEO polymer gypsum is cast into the final mold. The NEO is combined with bronze powder to create a casting with a real metal finish.
