This is a basic mothermold support shell for a silicone rubber mold made using white hydrocal reinforced with fiberglass matte.  This is a good method for creating thin, lightweight, and durable support shells.  When using this method over a brush-on urethane mold make sure a release of wax is applied to the rubber surface.  For more information on the skin technique check out our DVD.
