Mold results


Perhaps transparent with glitter wasn't the best choice for the first casting of this button. Even so, the mold works great! It's lightweight, so it's perfect for adding tatting to it without the added weight of the metal button. The cast piece could use a few more hours to finish curing but it's still solid enough to not lose shape. I could probably use it now to make another mold with two of these instead of one. It will cut down production time if I need an even amount of these doodads for a project. Another plus is that the piece came out shiny. I don't have to spend any extra time buffing it. I need to pick up a few more boxes of this Easy Mold to have for any future mold making. I used up 3/4 of the bottles already.
