Next update, I let the silicone set for 24hrs. The pictures below show the removal of the walls from the mould, the resin in place and the finished castings.

the walls being removed









the mould removed from the master









the resin set in the moulds, the bits spilling over will be removed before painting









and removed from the mould







the cable runs alone work out at over five pound so if you add up the bits and bobs each casting would cost you over a tenner.

I like your retaining walls. I am sure they will look superb when painted. I note that Wills produce a kit but it works out at around £12 for a short length. If you have a long section to do making your own has got to be the way.

I have just read this thread again, and it's brillant, all the information that's needed to help someone new to making moulds.


:cheers

Fortunately it's in the Forum Contents Index so it's always available for reference without searching through posts.

That's how I found it Bob

The Index needs more publicity as it is a haven of knowledge and information.

I mention it as often as I can but it still seems under used. The important thing is that it is there.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE PAST
