Mara Jade shin guards - 2.0

Posted on February 3, 2010 at 6:33 PM

Okay so yesterday I left off with the plaster of paris drying. Now I got the black resin cast from the same company as before. Also remember to spray the mold with the silicone mold release!!! IMPORTANT!

 

 

OKay so I got really really messy with the mixing. Now I mixed both equal amounts of part A and B stirred and poured into the mold....and kept turning the liquid into the mold until it became a solid which didn't take long at all. I did two layers to make sure it was thick enough...in some places aleast. hahaha

 

Please wear gloves, you don't want this stuff on your hands.

 

 

I set and cure time for the Resin was 15 minutes. ....So aftter 15 minutes went by I started to pop the black resin out of the pink silicone, which was hard with the plaster of paris keep it perfect. So I started breaking the plaster off of the silicone, it came off wicked easy. After the silicone was free of the plaster the black resin popped right out. ...and the silicone mold lied flat on the table.

 

 

There is a nice photo of everything so far. The mother mold (white), Silicone mold (pink), and the Resin cast (black) ....which came out a lot thinner then I wanted it to. But I was running out of product. soooo it'll do for now.

 

  Some close up shots!! Not bad for my first time.!
