Casting 2

I have use polyurethane fast cast resin to make the fish. The mould has been cut in a way to allow me to be able to cast the delicate fins at the same time as the body.

To pour the cast, first I left the mould open and fixed in the glass eyes by placing them in place and pouring the resin around them, when it was set the eyes were held in place. I then was able to pour the resin into the fins (still with the mould apart), this enabled me to be able to guarantee the fins were cast fully. Once this had set I then put the mould together and poured the rest of the resin in for the body.
