but, of course, you can always try again! ComposiMold's trans-
parency allows you to see the surface of the master to prick
and coax the bubbles away from the master's surface.
Once the master is free of bubbles, all you have to do is to wait
for the mold to cool – not just solidify. A solidified mold may
still be soft on the inside and may tear or distort as it is pulled
away from the master. Cooling can be accelerated by placing
the mold in the refrigerator or freezer; just remember to keep
it level, and let your spouse in on what you're doing. The mold
produced by ComposiMold (4) is shown on top of a sheet of
white paper to enhance contrast.
The mold will be somewhat soft compared to silicone rubber
molds. This is normal. The mold is sprayed with mold release
before filling the mold with plaster (5). The mold is peeled
away to reveal the completed casting (6).
