Making the Mould

The rubber mould to hold the resin casting was a tricky one....   I carefully constructed a 500 x 500mm MDF box in which the mould would be made from. 




I melt 5kg of rubber on the BBQ - a quick, efficient and ventilated way of using toxic materials...and you can throw on some burgers after the had work!




Once the rubber melted I quickly transferred it to the well crafted MDF box, evenly pouring out the liquid to ensure a sturdy mould.



Mmmm - looks like toffee! Quickly developing a rubber fetish....
