[I hear that bleach will get rid of that TIKI mold problem right away.
Is the bleach use to help scrape the bottom so it will possibly stand?]
-
The bleach was a joke, you know "MOLD" like in your grout in your shower HA fricken HA
[So you wouldn't advice using cement for casting?]
2.I have used cement, fast dry cement, pour stone, pour rock, drywall products, I have added my own silica sand, I have put fiber to help stop cracking, I have mixed in packing peanuts to lighten them up.
You know all those stupid statues that the Mexicans try to sell you as you cross the border CASTING PLASTER that is what it is made for.
But you can use what ever you want/I did
[So how sharp did the details turn out?]
- With casting plaster, perfect
But if you find more molds that have areas that are inverted, then it is really hard to pull the mold off. I filled in inverted spots with silicone caulking.
[Isn't plaster easily damaged and crack very easy?]
- refer to question #2
[One more thing, could you go into detail how you made a frame to support it, while pouring especially the neck area?]
- I took 2x4s and made a rectangular frame, about 3 to 5 inches bigger than the mold. I put plastic on some carpet pad, then put the frame on top of the plastic. now the trick is that everything wants to float. So now you put the mold, with the outside facing up.
Now I put another 2x4 across the top and put wood wedges to hold the mold tight to the plastic. Now you just fill the frame with casting plaster. When it dries you pull all the drywall screws out of the frame so it falls apart,turn it over, pull the mold out.
Now you have what I call a positive, so every time you pour you put the mold in the positive and it holds it perfectly. You should also cover the positive with diesel oil so the mold comes out easier and the other casting plaster will not stick to it and make bumps.
By the way casting plaster mixes in a 5 gallon bucket with a drill and large mixing paddle. It's so simple.
Now if you don't send me one of your creations after all this,
May your rum make you dumb
and may a TIKI fly up your bum
The bottom of your shoes, you find gum
You end up living in a slum
A large ache you will have in your tum
Your skin turns the shade of a plum
Everyday will be more and more glum
And when you have sex you won't be able to
ENJOY YOURSELF!!
Now "do the right thing"
When this stops being fun
It's our fault
Have no brakes Cannot stop
