Picked up some molding/casting supplies today! This is my first venture in either skill, so we will see how this goes :lol
I got the Alumilite Super Casting Kit from Hobby Lobby (retails $69.99, but used a 40% off coupon). The kit comes with 1lb of Quickset mold making rubber, 28oz of casting resin, 1lb of clay, mold release, measuring cups and stir sticks.
Not too bad for $40 for a beginner to learn on!
So I built two mold boxes using foam core board. I will need to cast two copies of the main body and four copies of the plates that attach to the body. After the two boxes were built, I glued each piece down and mixed and poured the rubber. So here is where we are at:
Cure time is between 8-18 hours, so I will revisit them tomorrow to see how they turned out! If all goes well, I should be able to cast my pieces tomorrow afternoon :thumbsup
