I want to replicate an item using epoxy resin but I’m unsure about how to create the silicone mould because of the shape of the item. The item is essentially a rectangular block of wood, say 44 x 36 cm and about 6cm high. The complication is that there is a large cut out that goes all the way through the piece from the top to the bottom. So I know I have to make a mould box, but other than that I’m not sure how to proceed. Should I position the piece in the box the right way up or upside down? If the former then do I need to put some supports under the piece (which will be removed from the cast piece) so that the silicone can flow under the piece? Where should I cut the mould open?
Any advice or tips will be gratefully received.
