First the instructor showed us a different material and we choose one to try it for the molding process.
Which is this material, it called selicon (Rubber):
There is two of them, A and
I read the instructions to start the process.
Also, i rea about the warnings like: i should wear a gloves.
Furthermore, the ration is 1:1 and we need a scale to measure the amount.
Firts of all, we got a scale and put on it a plastic cup, then we put the scale into zero.
After that, I measue put A material for 16 gram and then B material for 16 gram and i mixed them.
After that, I put it in this tray.
This material is good to form a mold.
Here some other students works with different materials:
