Moulds for orders C2 and C4 still curing. Most pink casts for C2 curing. Turquoise casts for C3 curing. 01:22:00
Order C4: New claw moulds look promising. 2nd stage casts soon, then final finished moulds. Should be casting by sunday. 01:22:58
Blank eye moulds for C1 and C2 also curing still. Cool night + crowded heated cabinet. 01:24:06
Eagerly waiting to hear back on availability of metallic pigments, rather than simple filler powders. 01:24:58
Test casts of 40mm half-spheres and 10mm deep 40mm hemisphere are in the moulds and curing. Demould sunday. 23:30:12
Last pink items for order C2 cast and setting. 23:30:47
Re-cast fingerpads for order C3 due to unmixed pigment. 23:31:39
Today purchased some proper tailors scissors. Designed for fabric, they cut through backing fabric like a knife through hot butter. 23:32:31
New scissors mean another small speed boost for production & much tidier cuts for the customer. 23:33:08
Order C4: Some issue with stage-1 mouldings for new claw moulds. De-moulded fine, however pour holes too small. Widening in morning. 23:34:34
