Throughout history, moulding in sculpture has been an important process frequently used by artists both creatively and technically. On the one hand, this process enables the reproduction of original works, and on the other hand, it has been an important step to create more durable and long-lasting copies of sculptures made with temporary/intermediate materials such as clay, wax, pastille. Since the early ages, artists and craftsmen have developed various moulding methods in line with the existing possibilities and needs. In these methods, which were shaped according to the technological conditions of the period, materials such as sand, mud, plaster and polyester came to the fore and continued to be widely used. These materials were preferred to serve different purposes of the moulding process. However, the inclusion of modern materials in sculpture art thanks to industrial advances has opened the door to important innovations in moulding processes. RTV-2 silicones, one of these innovations, have become an increasingly widely used material in sculpture art in recent years.RTV-2 silicones, thanks to their flexible and durable structure, both facilitate the moulding process and make it possible to copy even very fine details. These properties provide a great advantage in complex and detailed sculpture works. Using this material, artists can reproduce the finest details of their works with the same precision. In addition, the long-lasting structure of silicone allows the moulds created to be used over and over again. In this context, in this research, the use of RTV-2 silicones in moulding applications, which is one of the important elements of sculpture art, was examined and it was aimed to create a basic guide on the use of RTV-2 silicones with the sample application. The results of the research show that this material both accelerates the production processes in the art of sculpture and opens new aesthetic doors for artists. This flexibility and the capacity to capture high detail provided by RTV-2 silicones make significant contributions to the development of modern sculpture art.
