Still casting..

I moved on to the next step of making the mould for my wave today. I mixed some plaster and put a plaster backing on over the silicone mould. Now I'm just waiting for the plaster to dry and then I can finally actually cast the damn thing, I just hope it turns out okay after how long its been taking me.

First we made a wooden box out of plywood to surround the mould.


I plugged any holes with clay - to prevent leaks when the plaster is poured in.
Pat gave me a hand mixing the plaster as I hadn't a clue how to do it.. All we did was sieve the plaster into tepid water until a little mound formed above the water, then mixed it by hand.

Then we poured the plaster into the wooden box, making sure that all of the mould was completely covered.
