I’ve been playing with low melt solder and making impressions in it. I decided to try silicone molds as they can withstand the heat.
The one on the left, I melted the solder on a piece of copper and press the mold into it. This mold was made from a button so it’s kind of concave and hard to get a good impression. So I decided to try pouring molten solder into the mold. That’s the test piece on the right. Makes a way better impression this way. I do like the funky edges and I think with a flatter mold I’ll be able to get a good impression and still get the funky edges. More testing to come…..
