Hey! you done good! I got your message! Usually to respond to a message, I hit 'view conversation' in the message box. But you must've figured that out. lol I have been known to reply to a message and put it on my own page. LOL
I thought I read somewhere that you wanted to know how the epitah was carved, so I was going to p.m. you the site I use. Instead will put it in this message. A page that states 'carving letters' should come up. If not let me know.

If you need help figuring out how to private message, etc, let me know. Don't know much, but will help as much as I can. My daughter usually has to help me with that kind of stuff.
talk to ya later! Cathy

oops, guess not. see you don't have a p.m. option

sending you a p.m. on how I did my epitah

Hey Deadna, Thanx for the compliments on my stone! I made another stone (in my album) with the cherubs. I LOVE those things. going to make more stones with them next year! Cathy

Hey Deadna, wanted to give you an update on my boarded windows. I put velcro on the back and attached them to my window for 3 & 1/2 weeks. the board stayed up and the velcro didn't leave any residue on my window. YAY!! put a pic in my boarded window album. got the velcro at walmart. 20' for around $17. Happy Haunting!!

Hey Deadna, thanks for the compliments on my boarded window! I was going to post a pic of how I did the fishing line, but don't want to bring up an old thread. Also, I am going to try Wyatt's suggestion on using Velcro. I placed the velcro & board on my (back) window today. if the board stays up and the velcro doesn't leave a residue on my (vinyl) window frame, after a month, then i am going to do that instead of fishing line. i will put the results in my album. thanx!! cathy

Hey Deadna, I'm sorry I didn't get back to you about mold materials. Things have been hectic lately!

I would have PM'd this, but you have PMs disabled, so...

The biggest concern when choosing mold material is what will you want the final castings to be made of. Some materials are incompatable, or just too much of a hassle to use together. This ties in with the physical aspects of both the original and the casts. Undercuts and such will influence your choice of material and type of mold. Another consideration is the run size. Just how many castings do you want, versus how much money, time and effort you are willing to spend.

For overall versatility, silicone works well, but it is useless for casting latex. Good for polyurethane foam, plaster, cement, resins, and many casting materials.
Urethane makes for a durable mold, but not as flexible as silicone and again, not for latex.
Latex works well for casting cement and the like.
There are many materials you can use to make a mold.

You'll need to use the appropriate release agent, again, that depends on the materials you use.

Here are some companies that carry molding and casting supplies.
