Making a silicone mold for the first time was MESSY! lol BUT, I learned a lot! After making both silicone molds, I think the take aways were:
1. connect your piece with sticky wax first
2. mix 80g part A and 8g part B
3. have a scale handy that can weigh out something as light as 8g lol...
4. use a container that has a spout to mix in
5. use a spatula & wear gloves.
We also set up the ARBE Wax injector that works like a charm! I have linked in my amazon storefront all of the attachments you will need to set up your ARBE. In my storefront link there is a hose attachment kit as well as one lonely little quick connect brass fitting, you will need both.
I hope you enjoyed this video and that you either learned from my mistakes or were at least entertained lol.
