PREPPING FOR MOLDS

I spent a little time this evening trying to figure out how to set up the parts for making molds. I needed to stab a few with wire where the bolts will be because when I cast the part I want to be able to insert a bolt into the mold and then cast over it. There’s some small crevices in these parts and I want to be sure the silicone gets into them all. I think I can put them into the vacuum chamber after I pour and that will force the silicone in, but I don’t know if the vacuum pressure will cause the parts to shift of the suspension wires (they’re not very secure). I guess I could just stick one in the chamber without silicone and see what happens. The more I look at the wire setup the more I think I need to find a better method. I want the part to be suspended when I pour the molds so that there’s a good amount of material below the part. Well it’s getting late, I’m tired, busy day tomorrow, so I will attack it again when I’m more awake.
