Well, one thing you need for good resin pours is a powerful vibrator.... No,
silly, not for that! You apply it to the mold to remove air bubbles. You
also need to add vents and sprue holes so that thin areas can be filled
completely.

I was trying to make a laytex mold then do a resin cast, but I
basically suck, never bothering to actualy try to duplicate any of
the over 100 character figurines I've made. The casts would always be
partially incomplete cause I couldn't figure a way to poor the resin
into the mold good Or make the mold so that resin could be poored in
it good. You'd figure 7 years of college, 4 for art and not of the
classes I took covered casting. :P
