The styrene base was removed and all the clay cleaned away. At this stage I noticed a small flaws.
The pour hole is partly fibre glass, and I will be pouring resin with metal powder into this.
----> Solution, I will only be pouring to top up the mould, and with a huge amount of release agent it shouldn't be a problem. Also a quick paint of silicone might be possible.
More Silicone
Another clay wall to hold the second side of the silicone, this was then backed up with 2 layers of fibre glass. Will be de moulded tomorrow, the current weather being rather could has mean the fibre glass is catalysing more slowly. This has slowed down the moulding process but will be very useful when it come to casting from it.
L.E.D materials
Received Transil 40 and optic clear 31 from mould life, this means the LED can now be moulded.
-Just ordered the TRIA inks required, with luck resin tests should be possible by Monday......perhaps even a finished LED....
