MAKING THE MOLD


Because of the indents on the top face of the grip, a two-part mold was necessary.

The first step of the molding process was to embed the bottom half of the block in clay, built a foamcore box to contain the mold, and added eight registration marks around the edges of the object (shown below). I then filled the rest of the box with two part smooth-on silicone, which I had de-gassed in a vacuum chamber. I submerged the part, with a funnel embedded in the clay to create a pour spout.
