It is possible to make an endocranial cast through the foramen magnum of an intact skull by using several layers of liquid latex. The technique described here includes the preparation of the skull; the method of pouring and curing the layers of liquid latex; the loosening and removal of the latex cast; and lastly making the final endocranial cast.
