A few pics of the first half of mold construction.


1. A surface coat was put down first, which is a thick epoxy based paste I tinted green. Dark colors help you see air pockets when making parts. The surface coat provides a inside mold surface that is slick, shinny, and almost ceramic like.

2&3. First half of the mold removed from the parting plate. Now its time to wax and polish the flange in preparation of making the second half.
