The rubber meets the road

I finally did it. I mixed and brushed platinum-based silicone rubber over the two hand models. I used Smooth-On's product REBOUND-25 which comes with their brush-on starter kit.

The next step is to make a mothermold. I'll use plaster bandages, the material used to make plaster casts (like for a broken arm). After the mothermold hardens, I'll flip it over, remove the clay bed, and brush on more silicone rubber to mold the other half of the hand models.
