I'm gonna try a different way to make a plaster mold.

Instead of using the cottle boards, I decided to use regular wooden boards.

ree

I bought a longgggg wooden board and cut them into different sizes.


ree

Then I sanded all the edges to smooth them down.

ree

Like this lol.

After sanding them, I sprayed the waterproof coating on both sides. I did it in the house and I got yelled at by family so much that night lol. And because I didn't wear any mask, I felt some toxic stuff in my lungs. The next day, I had a huge headache and felt like vomiting.

Yes, I learned my lesson. Do not spray anything indoor without wearing a mask lol.

I used rubber bands and a strap to secure the board and it works great!

Here's the link to the place where I bought the strap: https://amzn.to/2EfaLN0

This works great for holding mold pieces.


ree

This is so neat!

It's time to pour some plaster!

Here's how to calculate the amount of water and plaster you need:

length x width x height (inches) x 0.025 = Amount of water you need (pound)

Water(pound) x 1.5 = Amount of plaster you need (Pound)

And it's also very important to wait until it becomes heavy cream consistency.

I'm not patient enough and I always pour it even when it's still watery.

And then I see disaster and regret every time I do this.


ree

Make sure to coat the board with a waterproof spray.

I did it without spraying them once and they warped :(.


ree

One side came out very very nice!

It's so beautiful.


ree

Then I drilled holes for the keys.


ree

And gave the Kaonashi face for the other side of the mold.


ree

I didn't wait till the plaster becomes cream consistency,,, again..!

I had some leak problem but it's okay.


ree

Just beautiful!!!


ree

I carved out one part for the pouring.

I realized I need this because I make a big mess when I pour out slips from the mold.


ree

ree

Idk why the color is different.

But still works perfectly!


ree

ree

I can't wait to use this mold!

I'm gonna be mass-producing Kaonashi hideout!
