Worst image ever.

Sometimes, I put my setting moulds on top of my washing machine during the spin cycle. I don't know if it does any good, I haven't really had any problems with air bubbles in my moulds yet.

Once you get the hang of it, it really is easy

Now... back on topic. Can you show a raw cast? I would like to see how much flash it has. THANKS!


Here in Denmark we have a saying: En spade er en spade! It translates roughly to: A spade is a spade! We call things what they are Just Kidding

I get a fair amount of flash but nothing that can't be removed with a knife:

Yes I have a few sticks and they are great for replicating things with greenstuff. I haven't had much succes with it myself but I saw a guy on theboringmordheimforum who made some very nice copy's with it. Linky

It properbly won't work with resin though as you heat the sticks to make the mould and the resin generates heat when it hardens.

Dozer have used them... he was happy with them. He said (if I remember) that you make a heat-bath... boil some water, then put a dry pan in it so it heats slowly and evenly, put the stuff there. It softens alot, so you take the original and press it (half way) and let it cool. Remove the original and you have 1/2 mold. it becomes HARD, so you can take come GS and press it on the mold. Once it dries, remove with some TLC. The mold will not crack easily, so you get LOTS of use out of it.

The best part is that you can 're-melt' the mold and re-use it... same original or a new one! Dozer said it was nice to make simple stuff that you need few copies, but not for mass production (because you need to punish yourself pressing GS! Just Kidding )
