Four O'Clock in the morning, officially "dark o'clock" and the time when even god is asleep in his palatial hovel...
So of course I was awake and fretting about the the hundred pounds of casting plaster (Hyrdocal 105, I believe) in the bed of my truck that I had forgotten about in the trauma of the failed mold making (the eyeballs were down to less than half material this morning, I was very disappointed in them). And the new table I bought. I forgot to fret about the guts-prosthetic that was on the hood of my truck, which was good, or I -might- have gotten up to put it all away.
Thank goodness it didn't rain.
On the bright side, I came up with a solution for the leaking-mold-frame problem; simple and obvious really. Pour a small dash of rubber into the mold to start with, maybe 1/4" on the bottom, too little to be able to leak effectively no matter what the substrate is. Let it harden. Pour the rest into the newly created, hermetically sealed container.
I hope it works, because that is what I'll be doing with the brain next week.
Nik flies in tonight. Maker Faire sets up tomorrow. I'm so not ready! Gonna take a half day off today if I can....
