Half the model cured but the rest came out like thick honey, see image above. I'm not sure why this happened, but my immediate problem is, how do I clean the uncured resin goo from my mold? The mold is made of RTV silicone. Tags cleaning fail mold resin Edited 12 Years Ago by moif

When you stir B component into A, you have to asure to drain EVERY GRAM. I mean: If 5 grams from B stay on the cup's wall, it represent about a 6% of the B component. You will be mixing 85 gr A + 80 gr B. This % of lost material is bigger as the mix is smaller. What you can do to avoid that, is to mix on the same cup. Stir the A 85 grams first. Then, on the same cup, add another 85 gr B. Then mix everything carefully. (always mix each component separately before mixing)
