RE: Turns out Bonython Park is huge. The balloons helped a lot; everyone found us in the end.
Ohh well thats not gonna work then. Ill be using the mold for resin 😊 I've got the silicone mix to make the mold but its all about - do I take a round out of the case - problem lol
So sweet of you though @mattclarke
Does resin get that hot?
I know it gets warm, but I didn't think it got too hot to hold.
Ohh mate.. it will if I stuff the resin to catalyst ratio.. which btw, keeps shifting as the weather changes and as the piece cures.
I use 3 types of molds. Silicone, glass and stainless steel.
Ive used plastic before and the plastic melted.. 😢
You've got me thinking about the possibilities, now...
I think I have some old resin in the laundry.
Not sure how long it lasts, but might do some craft with the kidlets and see what we can make.
What kind of resin?
I was actually thinking you can make crayons with yours 😊
I'll have to check when I'm home.
I can do candles and soap too, perhaps?
Soap yes. Eveb mini fizzies for the bath. Candles.. ehh.. how deep is this mold? Itd need to be a certain depth for the candle to burn properly..
I can make them as deep as I like, just need to boil the kettle and re-use the plastimake stuff. It's good fun, and very useful.
Getting the coin out is the only issue. I've found it's much easier if I pull the master before it's finished cooling, and is still a bit elastic.
As long as its under the heat limit I suppose? What mold mix are u using?

My moulds are rigid though. You can't bend it away from the cast like you can with something flexible.
