HOW TO
GET THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR NEW CAROUSEL
MOLDS
Position the brass rod into its groove before
pouring. When removing the figures lift upwards
with the rod while flexing the mold. Several of
the molds will have a hole inside allowing the
rod to go down into the rubber. (See horse mold
SR223.) Pulling the rod and figure straight
outward will tear the mold.
The
best pouring results are obtained by allowing
the casting metal to remain being heated on our
small stove for about 20-30 minutes after it has
melted. If the figure doesn't cast completely,
you may put it back into the pot. The rod will
not melt.
After removing the figure from the mold, tap the
rod from the top against a firm surface to
position it properly. The rod will slide and its
position can be adjusted. The brass rods are of
slightly different lengths as this will give the
appearance that the animals are going up and
down as do animals on working carousels.
Position the ball over the rod and tap it on.
The rod is tapered slightly to allow for a press
fit without gluing.
You
will notice that the detail of each of the
animals is different on their two sides. The
side facing out from the carousel has more
carved detail. This is true of all authentically
hand carved carousel figures.
The
children riders can best be fitted to the
animals by seating them immediately after
removing them from the molds and while they are
still hot. Pressing downward on their legs will
allow for some adjustment. Be sure to use your
heavy duty work gloves when casting or handling
the hot figures. You may then use Das Pronto
sculpturing clay or Putty under the rider to
fill any gaps that may exist. A toothpick can be
used to insert the clay. Also use Das Pronto to
fill any sink holes or depressions in the
figures after casting. This is much easier than
recasting the figure. This repair will not be
noticeable after priming and painting.
It
was impossible to work both of the giraffes ears
into the mold without creating an undercut which
would have prevented the mold from opening. You
can build up the short ear by applying a small
amount FastSteel or Green Stuff Putty. After the
putty dries, shape by filing until a nice ear is
built up. When the figure is primed and painted
it will look fine. This also is a good method of
adding detail to any figure where necessary.
We
now offer a predrilled walnut stained wood base
1 5/16" in diameter (MS92) that makes a very
nice stand for the carousel horses, lion and
tiger.
