I am very, very confused. This was my process-
When closely examining the AW object from Step 3, I notice some very very small bubble depressions. Examining the Step 4 mold (and stretching it wide to exaggerate details), I do notice very small outward bumps that seem to correspond with the bubbles in the Step 3 object. But if anything, shouldn't these bumps create bubbles/ depressions in the AACC object, instead of zits?
I have poured the same bottle of AACC before, into another mold made using the same High Strength 3, so there isn't anything wrong with the raw materials.
So... where the heck are these tiny grains/ zits coming from?
- Created a mold of the original object, using Alumilite High Strength 3
- Poured some Alumilite White (AW) into Step 1 mold.
- Modified AW cast (filled small gaps, sanded, etc)
- Created a mold of Step 3 AW cast.
- Poured some AW to check the Step 4 mold. Resulting object looks and feels great.
- Poured Alumilite Amazing Clear Cast (AACC) into the Step 4 mold. After about 16 hours it feels firm and I demold. The cast is covered in tiny grainy zits that flake off when scrubbed.
