New silicon moulds
OK I have now moved to the next step, making some silicon moulds for my casting. I have made a version of a resin saver (a 4 tube sierra) and also a 20mm x 20mm x 130mm square triple mould. There a few small air bubbles in both moulds but they are insignificant enough that I am thinking they will not cause any problems. I think I can improve on the sierra mould by making the fit 2-3mm shorter but I will try a cast or two in this one before making a final decision on that.
Overall I am quite happy with the result and didn't really encounter any problems thanks to listening to the experts at the casting demo and browsing through the ensuing DVD prior to attempting it. So many thanks to those involved with the casting demo and DVD they have certainly made the learning curve so much smoother.
Cheers Rumnut

Looks good
Actually, it is better to have the Sierra ones a little large, to allow for shrinkage and trimmingNeil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new
