Not familiar with that one, although it'd be worth a try. I just poured it straight in - at the lowest point and VERY slowly to ensure all (most) bubbles disappear. -LOVE the "pry points" idea, I'll definitely be doing that one next time. -Thanks for your input and advice, glad you're liking this thread and adding to it too! hodadhank: the silicon master will last a very long time indeed. Not sure how long but I'm guessing many years. TikiJosh: I used lino cutting tools and a couple of sculpting tools from the art shop for the clay master. Nothing too special! hmc Helen McLean [ Edited by: hmc 2006-02-19 16:09 ]
