Casting Resin

For this part of the project I choose five of my green coloured items that were a reasonably small size. The small items from the collection of mine needed to avoid undercuts and strange edges. When being placed in the former tray the proportions of the items. When this has been done a black plastic called the polystyrene is inserted over the items. The heat of the plastic can push back so you keep pressing down the former tray lever until it covers the items in a wrap. Once done you take it out and spray the plastic so the resin does not stick to the polystyrene. Wire is added into each mould, to do this take the pliers and twist it so it fits in the mould. The wire needs to be straight and taped down. Then lastly make sure it's all level and will not move around easily for the resin to be poured.
