Moulds and Clear Cast 31

Finished polishing..... finally















The battery has been moulded, (moulds above) and have been poured ready to cast on Monday.
The idea for the batteries is to cast them in fibre glass with a metal powder gel coat.
--Decision being, what when I made the key the highly polished surface lent its shininess to the aluminium powder. Gaining a better aluminium look..... So these formers where polished even better than the key was....

Optic Clear 31















Using some left over blanks for acrylic eyes I made this test mould for the optic clear 31 using transil silicone.

Using about 16g of resin each and 1 drop of the tria inks I got the test above. With only 1 problem. Where what looks like air bubbles have formed with an odd gas like pattern around them. The only thing I think might have caused this is some kind of forign chemical. So after cleaning the mould with alcohol I recast them. The problem was reduced but still slughtly visable.

Have now filled moulds with fast cast to try and remove anything left in the moulds. Other than that the colour is looking amazing......
