Today I knocked the resin out of the moulds and realised how much less work it is if you get the mould right in the first place: I would have needed even more shellack… I think I’ll try melamine moulds for the next set. Also saw the effect of too much heat – hard to avoid in this weather.
Lynsey had to do lots of sanding outdoors in the full sun for me to get the MDF off as the sander at the foundry was too difficult for me to hold with my RA-affected hands. So I did some hand sanding and will be getting an electric sander I can use to finish off.
Now I have an idea of what the different papers/treatments look like, the next step is to make some maquettes of pieces that could be actual works!
