ok, so printed up mold 2 last night. 

 

so now have mold 1 & mold 2, they are prepped and ready, plan to print a total of four molds so that i can mold that as a batch. basically pour 4 seals to make 2 sets. basically takes 2 full day to make a complete set/2 molds.

 

so by Friday i should have the molds all ready to rock and roll.

 

also placed an order last night for the urethane, going with a Shore 60A urethane, also got the black pigment, along with a sealer/release compound. 

 

got confirmation that my metal insets have been cut and will ship today, and should be here by Saturday i hope so i can pour this weekend.

 

getting close and getting excited, need to get some mixing cups !!

alright got another 2 molds printed and set up. not have 4 complete mold sets ready to rock.

 

think i may print one more spare set today just in case something goes array.

 

each set is numbered 1-4, each half is lettered a/b

 

was trying to figure out a way to clamp the molds together and hold them, then remembered i have some 4" Harbor Freight Bar Clamps that should work nicely, pondering 1 clamp per mold or two :!

 

urethane is on its way supposed to arrive today (Friday), my mixing cups are scheduled for delivery Saturday, and  insets are on the way supposed to arrive Monday :( so no molding this weekend, was hoping to spend Sunday learning and tinkering. Maybe can tinker with the modling process nd urethane without the insets to see how everything works.

double clamped, one high one low
