casting

Hi guys,
Is there somebody to help me on how to cast shoes in silicon rtv.
In fact the best way to place shoes on plastilin before poring silicon rtv, in order to keep good shoes details (i.e. laces). The mold will be done in two parts.
Many thanks for your help.

You will need to add casting blocks so that the resin flows into the mold and allows air to escape otherwise you will get holes in the resin from trapped air. The orange areas provide this and they can be made from plastic attached to the shoes before making the mold.
