Risky Business

Today I had the job of taking a silicone mould of the foam I milled on Wednesday. I'd never tried this before so I was a bit nervous in case I messed it up, but I was also quite excited as I was looking forward to hopefully coming away with a really highly detailed mould. 

Again I used the spray wax on the foam to hopefully help it's release but you can't really see it go on so it doesn't fill me with confidence! Although it is a square which made it super easy to cottle up, so y'know swings and roundabouts. 
Hello, down there.
Mixing the silicone up was really fun but really messy. Despite the sticky hands, I think I managed to get the right ratio of parts and all seemed to go well. It has been left out in the plaster room over night to set so when I go in tomorrow morning I can unveil my masterpiece.. (don't laugh)..

Looks tasty, probably isn't.
