De-mold

Silicone removed from plaster bust

Using a broad chisel, the fibreglass easily came away from the original silicone mold. These pieces required much less of a clean up than on the headpiece so that the silicone keys would fit back into the jacket.

Fibreglass jacket with drill holes

Once both sides of the shoulders had been fibre glassed, I trimmed off the excess with the osculating saw to later help with the removal of the fibreglass jacket. Holes were drilled along the flange so that the two halves could later be bolted back together.
