Being an artist is 90% failure, 10% success and you’re lucky if the success lasts!! Over the last two weeks I have tried endlessly to make moulds of an oversized rooted tooth!
I’ve used plaster, alginate, DIY silicone. I tried to be cheap because I am in fact cheap! I had a glimmer of success yesterday (the 10%) when the mould worked and I had two halves.
Jump to today when I filled the mould, I forgot to Vaseline the meeting point of the moulds and they basically got glued together, upon trying to separate them it snapped and I’m unable to get the tooth halves out! So I have just spent what seems to be a small fortune buying proper silicone mould making stuff. Here are some images of the process.
