resin casting the sequel

First test tonight. I took my Lc mold ( the one which i had to cut the master out of), and made some changes. These were based on something I found on Nigel Lawton's website (http://www.nigellawton009.com/VeeTipper.html) about casting stuff. He came up with a method similar to using white metal for castings ie pouring the resin in from the bottom, allowing the resin to fill the mold and let air bubbles escape. This is shown in the first picture.


Here's my attempt.

As you can see, the resin has somewhat filled the mold from the bottom, the strips on the top are my attempt to pour resin down the vent holes (DUH!) as it had stopped going in the side filling hole. I think this just made things worse, and the whole lot set as is. on the plus size, there don't appear to be any air bubbles on the casting in the cured section. I think it might work if I enlarge the filler pipe as the resin has to flow through a gap about 1mm in diameter, which might be the whole problem. I'll cut some larger holes and have another go tomorrow night.
