Oke Guys, You can read now part 3 and 4

Photo 1: Apply, layer on layer, with a spatula or a brush, thin layers of latex. The layers don’t have to be dry completely. A thickness of 1mm is more than enough. Let dry completely.
Photo 2: Hang the pillar also upside down.

Photo 3: The result.

Photo 4: Poured in with plaster. Pour little amounts en shake or squise the plaster to avoid airbubbles.

Photo 5: Make grooves between the different blocks.
Photot 6: Make a bed of plastiline round the half of the pillar and smooth out against the ribs.

Photo 7: Draw a groof with a round, pointed object around the pillar. This groove is a ‘key’ the hold the two halves of silicone together and avoid that the liquid flooth away. The upside of the pillar is the hole for pouring in the liquid.

Remove the plastiline en let het pillar into the silicone. Build another wall for the second half. Spray wax over the silicone!!! If that’s not done, the two halfs will glue together.

Photo 13: The two halfs.

Fix the two halfs together with elastics. Pour plaster or raisin.
Photo 14: After drying we can bring up the wearthering.
