Spent August playing with plastic molding. I've been wanting to cast some plastic tikis for a long time. Finally took the plunge and bought this and this kit and started making copies of some small tikis I carved a few years ago.

This is the first mold hotglued onto a small plastic plate, and 1st resin tiki!

Still working out the bugs in the casting process. These are fill of tiny holes. Don't know if it's the humidity in Houston or what....

2nd mold using a different tiki as the model.

With no dye, this resin cures white.
