My mold is officially Swiss cheese. You can see a cross section in the top photo and in the bottom all those dark and tan looking spots are bubbles right up against the surface of my object.
I suppose.. I’m just in a climate that makes casting impossible without expensive equipment. Humidity (while barely what it will be in a few weeks) is on the rise and the temp is climbing. Maybe if I had gotten to this a week or two ago, but who would of guessed we’d have summer already in mid March? Not that I had the time to cast then- I’m working the equivalent of a a full time and part time job right now.
I’ve had a very sweet offer from afar to help with my mold that I have to consider. Being able to cast myself isn’t a point of pride but a point of longevity for this medium. It might mean investing a sizable chunk of the extra income I’m getting right now but that’s such a risk. I’ll try freezing out my place to bring down the humidity, since I have to use up the silicone anyways, and see if it does any good. Later though- right now I’m.. ya. No more right now.
