Ugh, had some leakage, luckily I was able to throw the c-clamp on there to squeeze the mold closed. I think I saved the pour, we'll have to see.

Now we wait 4 or so days to see how it comes out!

Ok! Back in the saddle again. Finally had the time and mental fortitude to pour the second hoof. Tried something different this time, I let it sit for 20 minutes and then burned the bubbles off the top, to see if this helps reduce the bubbles in the hoof. (No degas equipment).

Rubber dog, some assembly required. #vanfetweekend.

Getting ready for #vanfetweekend#VancouverPride!

So far so good, pouring the first half of the top of the mold....

Just a heads up that I've been working on making myself a pair of Pony hoof boots from scratch. Here is the message chain pt1: bsky.app/profile/meda...bsky.app/profile/meda...#ponyplay#ponyboots#hoofboots

Got the mold cleaned up and prepped for the second half. Just need to test the boot fit one more time to make sure that nothing shifted while we created the mold.

If you are pouring a silicone box mold, and your form springs a leak, hot glue plus paper towel makes an amazing Band-Aid.

So far so good with attempt number two at this silicone box mold! 🙏🙏

Last mold had a catastrophic failure, so I had to recreate it from scratch. I've learned that tape does not hold seams, and do not use cardboard as mold forms use foam board.
