Resin Casting

I'm making a beginner Resin casting thread with photos ( lol for newbies by a newbie )

Smooth-Cast 320 is what I always use.

Mold Max® 30 is the silicone I use.

Can't go wrong with Smooth-On.

This is what I've been using. No problems with the product so far.

Hi all how can I make a hollow cast for this part?

I am making the McQuarrie millennium falcon and trying to get the cockpit looking right.

Thanks

Keep in mind I have never gotten uniform thickness when doing this technique.

Two-part silicone mould. Have the piece on an angle; clay it up that way. Standing on its pour spout, basically. Build your dam, pour your silicone, when set take the piece out, Vaseline everything, de-clay the piece and pop it back into the mould, wipe down excess Vaseline, pour the inside half of the mould with only the pour spout clay left in place. Because you've set the piece on an angle, when you pour castings air will rise up the pour spout with few bubble traps.
