Well I Goofed my Mold Making

Recommended Posts

Hate to ask this cause I know dumb lol. Poured my first mold of a 2 piece mold from omoo30 the first one came out pretty good then I cleaned it up a bit before I poured the second half stood back an reliezed I forgot the release agent dang. So will I beable to cut around the mold an separate it, or start over. Also can u make a mold out of plaster paris to form featherlight plugs. I'll learn sooner or later.

not a big problem muskietom51

the 2parts of your rtv mold will bond together. you will end up with 1 part.

ok, its getting very difficult to place the hardware directly while casting, but you can still cut "free" you master and use the mold.

shown here at 4:20 if you mold is thick enough.

hint: if you cut at the outside "zick-zack", you have your mold keys!

make small cuts for better keys. with this method, you will have minimum flashing.
