Brae - watch a few Youtube vids on the process. What I didn't do was put cuts in to allow air to escape, causing air pockets which didn't fill with resin. I was meant to put in toothpicks to the tips before molding which leave little tunnels for the air to escape when casting. I also think the second mold I made, where the bottoms were effectively where I poured in the resin, worked/works better. I have a couple more to de-mold today to see how they've worked - although I'm already pretty certain that one of them is completely wrong! Now I have to wait for more stuff before making more molds!!! My daughter also wants to use it now to create items for her Cosplay! This is definitely a new skill to learn which can be used in so many ways!! I wonder if you could cast dolls......I suppose you could! The resin is amazing! It gets very hot as it's hardening and literally within a few minutes it's ready to de-mold!!! Quote Link to comment
