This is great. What are you using to make the molds?
I thought of a couple things I'm using that I omitted in my last message:
I am using Sculpey modeling clay to hold the handles in place when I pour
mold stuff over them. I chose it because it doesn't have water in it (which
is supposed to be evil), and it doesn't dry out in the air.
The drawback is that it seems to interact slightly with the RTV, so if I had
it to do over, I'd probably buy something else.
Also, I am using Vaseline to keep the halves of the RTV mold from sticking
together. That also interacts with the RTV, so it isn't ideal.
