I’ll second that. Several times I’ve mixed up too much silicon and it’s had to go to waste.
I’m also stealing.....

Well you're stealing from the best. I stole the rice trick from a local model boat seminar presenter. Likely has saved me at least a thousand-dollars of wasted rubber and resin over the years.
David,
more info, this is great. The third from last, is the clear silicon to seal the smaller tube to your mold? That tube is to get more weight or casting metal up high?
last photo is showing what? Coating with epoxy to make thin shells?
really good stuff you are showing, thank you for taking the time to do this!
peace,
tom
If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.
In the picture of the sail moulds you're sanding the laminate in the tool with the Dremel tool. I take it the rubber is flexible enough to give way as you get near the line?
