I've seen a few threads that talk about resin casting with clay molds and rubber molds and even seen Buzzy's thread where his Brady Bunch tiki molds almost look like they're made in homedepot-polystyrene insulation. any advice on the easiest way to make a mold of a tiki? There's a craft show coming up that is tied to our local newspaper and for employees of the paper only. I was thinking I'd try making a few small tikis out of basswood, or even casting one of my current ones (if it doesnt have too many undercuts), and selling those at the craft show. thanks in advance!
