LAUAN 503 Character and Narrative - Casting Workshop Three

Workshop three was not such a renowned success. Firstly, while demolding our two part mold, mine broke into aprox five pieces. However, this was to be expected as unknowingly I chose quite a fiddle object. The mold was still usable. After scraping the cray of to be recycled and soft soaping our molds, I taped mine back together for the wax mold.
On one hand my mold did work, the wax was contained very well and I demolded it at the right time as the wax had completely set. However, on the other hand, due to undercuts in my mold, demolding the wax was totally unsuccessful. It broke twice. Nonetheless, wax is a very brittle substance to work with and with such a fiddly mold, it was almost to be expected.
Next we learned about the ratio of silion to the bonding agent (1.1/10), mixed thoroughly and poured into our mold to set for next session.
