attached to a planket, doing some thinking about the best position so there will be less air inclusion and objects can be released without too much trouble.
taking a picture of the mall is always good.
This way you will not forget where the objects are situated, I often make fine cuts in my mall with the scalpel to make pooring the resin better but also for the release.
My favourite way of making malls: Lego.
It's easy to break down a wall of lego when the silicon has hardened ( appr. 24 hours)
The rubber I use the amount of hardener must be weighed so you could make also a small one if you like.
The problem is I get a bit afraid my proportions are incorrect and my rubber would not harden.
By using the whole bucket and pooring in the flacon totally I am sure the measurements are fine and I just need to stir well. Never scrape the last bit from the bucket, this is the last bit that is not mixed well and the rubber will stay sticky.
So, most of the time when I start making a mall, I always have another one in reach.
Economicly, but when taking a close look at the mall one can see I 'spoiled' a lot of rubber because the torso really stands out to the rest.
This is my choice, I want all the parts of this buste in one piece.
