[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 795940, member: 325666"] ... Not sure if I should call this a success or failure .. One things for sure ...providing the mould will clean up ok ..its re-useable.. Normally I would have left the 'wing' to cure overnight in the mould .. BUT ..I noticed air pockets starting to form under the surface skin ..this would have formed blisters which would have hardened unevenly ..so I made the decision to pull the cast from the mould .. It was so easy its untrue ..but then ..this may be because the inner coating of resin was not hardeneng properly ...thus the blisters.. It may well be the fault of the Latex ...or ..the wax ..or a combimation of both ..and an odd reaction to the prime layer of resin... Anyway ..the resulting cast appears to be holding its shape to some degree ..so I'll let it hang and fully harden .. Clean the mould .. Rewax ..and pop it back in for some re-enforcement ..assuming it retains its shape .. Here are the pics .. Good or bad ..??? You decide .. But certainly looks do-able ..but perhaps a bit more practice ..and either the wax ..or the latex...not both.. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
