So, picture the scene:
It's dark out, I'm using the top of a wheelie bin as my work top.
Every now and then I have to wander around waving my arms above my head, like an orangutan to get the sensor to put the light back on.
Can't really see what I'm doing.
But even so the little cutting stick made removing the skirt and channel clay pretty simple.
Oh yeah and if you forget to use the talc, things get messy, see the 50x25 mould lol
when they're dry I'm going to spray paint them silver - the talc will probably wipe off when the clay's a bit harder and dryer.
But, moulds: complete success !
With the talc, you just shake a little into each half, close mould fast and shake.
clay comes out easy.
And the jaegoor text stamp was the only one close to hand
With a rocking motion, it's actually pretty easy to get it on the sphere too.
For cleanup just run the moulds under a tap. don't recommend full immersion, as they're not 100% water tight and will absorb water and then leak it out when removed from sink.
Rinsing should be fine - I'll try that in a bit.
It's kind of messy - do it outside
