Fastcast F

Since making each toy by hand would be a long and difficult process I have decided to create a mould and make lots of the same toy (with different colouring on each one). Yesterday I successfully made the mould of the toy out of silicone, which is a very durable and bendy material, and will be great for using repeatedly.

Today I am going to attempt to make my first toy out of a material called Fastecast F. It is a form of plastic, a lot like resin, but is much cheaper and dries very quickly. This is perfect for my project as speed is what I need!

The idea of this solution is that you use them both 50-50. You then mix them together thoroughly so that the hardener has mixed together and then slowly pour into the moud, poking all the little holes in the mould with a thin stick to stop air bubbles from forming.

Now I leave it for a few hours and see how my first attempt went.
