柔性纹理(浅浮雕、曲面)首选 RTV 加成型硅胶,脱模性好、可翻复数十次;刚性深浮雕或大件用石膏或失蜡;高温浇铸金属须用耐高温的石膏/陶瓷壳,普通硅胶会烧蚀。选材料时还要考虑原样是否怕溶剂(某些清漆会被硅胶催化剂腐蚀)。

For flexible, shallow or curved reliefs choose addition-cure RTV silicone—good release, dozens of pulls. Rigid deep reliefs or large parts use plaster or lost-wax; high-temperature metal casting needs heat-resistant plaster/ceramic shell since ordinary silicone burns. Also check if the original tolerates solvents (some lacquers are attacked by silicone catalyst). ---
