QUOTE The biggest problems are getting all the air bubbles out of the silicone mould before it sets

That's what the vacum chamber is for.But,you have to be carefull,when I vacumed the rubber for the postive half of the mold,the vacum chamber sucked it all out of the pot,I had blue goop EVERYWHERE.


It looked like a thick blue milkshake had exploded in the pot.

Naw,I just need to go back to my old mixin pot which is wider across.This gives the rubber room to climb the walls a bit,but still stay in the pot.

I have vacumed dozens of potfulls of rubber(for my inserts),and this was my first disaster.I did manage to scrape enough together to get the mold finished,so it wasn't a total loss.

Just gotta figure out what to do with a big pile of blue fake dog baaaaaarrrrffff.
