PROOF OF CONCEPT
Everything demolded properly and very cleanly, just a few more vent holes need to be cut for all the air to escape.
However, more experimentation needs to happen before making copies.
Instead of buying a cheap & quick white resin to make this 1st prototype, I went with a product that helped establish the "furthest reaches" of how soft I can go. You might think this looks hard, but it is not... it's very soft and flexible. One truth I discovered today was how thin factory plastic was in places — which is the next challenge.
To match the hardness, look & feel there are a few routes to take. However, each has benefits and tradeoffs. Here's just a few specs I'm looking for. Also, perhaps as important is the ability to pour indoors safely with proper ventilation.
• Shore Hardness
• Flexibility
• Mixed Viscosity
• Pot Life
• Cure Time
• UV Resistance
