In this taxidermy tutorial, we demonstrate how to create a habitat or fish mount base using Mold Star® 16 silicone and Free Form® Air epoxy putty. A silicone rubber mold is made of an actual riverbed. Epoxy putty is pressed into the cured mold once the mold has been cleaned. The epoxy putty cures, and then is removed from the silicone mold. The cured epoxy putty casting is painted with acrylic paint, and given a gloss coating with Tarbender® epoxy. An acrylic dowel is used to mount a casting of a trout on the display. See how the casting of the trout was made in this video: Make It Now! with Smooth-On / smoothon / smoothon smoothon ~-~~-~~~-~~-~ Adult Supervision Required Keep Out Of Reach Of Children ~-~~-~~~-~~-~
