Soft Molds
It's October! I have been experimenting with casting resin--a liquid resin which is added to an equal amount of hardener and mixed before colours or other bits and bobs are added in.
I am using Padico soft molds for this as they are flexible and Castin' Craft resin.
I coloured the resin with Tamiya acrylic clear colour and filled the molds to the brim. The good news is the resin does not shrink much, so it's okay to fill molds to the brim.
After a day, the resin is still flexible. After two days, the gemstones should be ready for unmolding.
It's definitely easier to unmold the gemstones with flexible molds.
