Brains!

This is another project for my surface design class. The end product will be a mold in which several materials will be cast. Today I actually started casting in plastic and will post those pieces soon. These pictures are of the clay form on which the mold will be created. They are in the earlier stages of being created. The end result is slightly different from these.

From these clay forms, I created a rubber mold using Rebound 25. A product of Smooth-On INC. The product was relatively easy to use, as are most Smooth-On products. The process simply involved mixing a two part solution and then brushing it onto the form. The only down side to the process was the wait time. It was, at minimum, a 30 minute wait between applications. The mold needed four layers, resulting in about a three hour process that was 90% waiting.

Like I said, I just started casting today, and will post the end pieces soon! For those who are interested, here is the link for the mold material from Smooth-On. Rebound 25 from Smooth-On INC
