Thank you elfranz! Very much appreciated. Btw, if you plan to make a mother mold, it might be best to make a 3-piece mother mold instead of a 2-piece as it will be easier to release from the main mold (latex). There will be a follow up video to this video which will include attaching legs and bolts. :)
