Love that mold but yeah it’s a pain to work with

[@foxysartbox]

It sure can be when things don't line up properly.

[@ravn606]

I always rest mine on a tower up the middle so I get even air pressure in the center. Had like 4 of them collapse before I learned.

[@foxysartbox]

I haven't run into collapse with my casts of this one. Definitely ran into the leaking issue--thus my knowledge of the "hot gluing while resin is seeping through being nearly impossible" bit. :D My first casting was messy! But at least I'd had it inside of a catch basin!

[@ravn606]

@@foxysartbox oh yeah. Those and dice always in a catch basin. Problem with collapses happened when I was putting them on a surface the mold sealed to, like silicone. Think the first successful one was just resting on cardboard so the air could get in.

@@foxysartbox also learned the hot glue seal the hard way 🤪

[@foxysartbox]

@@ravn606 Aha! Yup, I never placed mine on silicon inside my pressure pot. Can see how with this mold that could be a problem. My pressure pot trays are either metal or wood lined with baker's paper. :)

@@ravn606 It seems to be a rather common lesson with this mold. Either skipped entirely or think it's enough when WHOOPS Resin Niagra Falls. 😱
