I created a nice mold of my mr helmet. It wasnt perfect. Either the mother was not quite right, or the mold was too thin on top, I got a lot of 'wavyness' in the dome. I created another.
On my VERY LAST coat, It didnt cure right. Now, Im not sure why. I noticed that the silicone was 'thicker' and I assumed that it was just the last batch I had done had thixotropic in it.
So it didnt cure totally. its sticky. I mixed another batch, and use it on something else, and it cured, so I must have had the balance just out of wack.
I put a thin coat all over, of the properly cured silicone before work today, but I havent been home yet.
Is there any way to fix/help/cure/un-sticky it so this 150 dollars worth of silicone isnt wasted?
Any ideas? Im concerned if its not fully cured, when I make the mother mold it will stick to it. and ruin the whole thing.
I havent checked the last coat I put on, if its slick when I get home, Ill find any stick spots left, and cover it with good silicone, but it sucks because this one was pretty good.
Is it common for this to happen? Or am I just that dumb.
Any input from you gurus would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks
