Somewhere I read someone how he made the copy of a piece using tube silicone to make the mold. This method only works for making one face of the part. To reproduce the three dimensions of a part, other more complex methods must be used.
It is convenient to use a transparent film where to apply the silicone (so that after drying it does not stick to the surface where it is applied, and thus easily detach it from the film). Also it's advisable to first apply a thin film of some lubricant to the piece (for example, Vaseline, some oil, etc...) so that the piece no sticks to the silicone so that the piece can be detached later without any problem.
After carefully positioning the piece, wait a few hours for the silicone to dry completely.
