Second attempt at making a mold. Had a scale this time, but still i can't seem to get the measurements right. Had way too much in the first side of the mold and barely enough on the other side.
The first cast of the silicone was a failure. I applied a thin layer on each side of the mold with some extra around the endges to hopefully connect it. It cured for 12 hours, where I for the first few constantly shifted it around to make sure it didn't all gather in the bottom. This ended up happening either way. There was a thin layer around the whole thing. But it just collapsed on itself when i opened it. The silicone was also super sticky as I probably opened it too early.
Problem with this one is that it will be hard to keep the model in the center. Also i think maybe the silicone wall will be too thick. Another problem is that the silicone is super sticky, as a result getting it off from the mold and object will be difficult.
