These two pictures here, show the 2 halfs of the laytex mould. They worked well, however the thickness are uneven and kind of ugly. I read that some people use lego blocks to build the outside walls (instead of cardboard), because they are even, can be broken down easily and are re-usable. I think I might try that technique at a later date.

Then I poured some resin into one half and shook it to make a hollow cast.
(A hollow cast is when you coat the outsides of the mould so that the inside is hollow).
The resin I usually use takes about a day to dry, however I used a different type of resin this time that only takes
5 MINUTES to dry. That's crazy!!
So crazy that the resin dried before I finished the pour, so i'm going to try it a second time.
