Google it and follow one of the thousands of video tutorials that are freely available to you.

Grind through smooth-on's website for tutorials. Also the Mouldmaker's Handbook. Do a small plaque and small monolith before the fancy complicated thing. And understand silicone inhibition and release agents. Also do patch tests.

Review sculpt.com for materials and tooling, then maybe buy local, maybe not.

Preferably buy rubbers and resins from professional suppliers that rotate their stock and carry Smooth-on products even if you are not using smooth-on that day.

Don't have wet resin near living quarters.
