This was a little vulcanizing test, as you can see the pattern was lost and the result did suffer some deformation.

This still look great Jesse despite some detail of deformation. What rubber did you use?

I think I missed understood by thinking the blue pattern was a wax model produced by the vulcanised rubber mold.

Hi Don, yes the blue wax (castable) has been produced by injecting wax into the silicon mold.

Thanks Jesse for verifying. Did you by any chance use VLT silicon rubber from Castaldo? It could produce better result.
