Didn't remember needing approval, so I apologize in advance if this is a redundant post. Then again, maybe the instructions on how you filled the molds wasn't bold yesterday, and it is today. i wouldn't be surprised. LOL<br /><br />Using this method to create a 2 part mold is a lot easier and makes much more sense than the way I used a couple weeks ago. I needed to copy a hand and pistol from a model (had a miscast, got a replacement, decided not to let the miscast go to waste), so I squished the Instant Mold all around the bit and then cut it in half to free the model and get the halves of my mold. It was really hard to get the Instant Mold tightly against the entire surface (arm could spin in a lot of attempts), and the clamps I used distorted the first good mold while I was trying to get the first cast. I did finally get a good cast to fix the model, but it was a little more time consuming than I expected. Starting with making the two mold halves similar to the way you'd normally work with latex and resin, would have made so much more sense. derp.<br /><br />I'm glad I stumbled across your blog while I was blog hopping yesterday. Thanks for the tip.AoMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834413388942295553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237649680277367853.post-74123631649824458952011-10-31T08:51:10.305-04:002011-10-31T08:51:10.305-04:00Now that's press molding!
