ITERATION 4
MATERIALS USED: PLAY
DOUGH
VARIABLES: HAND MOLDING
KEY TAKEAWAYS: SARAN
WRAP STUCK IN CREASES
For this iteration, we molded
play dough on the bottom of
the pan using our hands. This
means that this type of casting
wouldn’t be able to be exactly
replicated very easily unless
you allowed the play dough
to stay in the pan. After we
molded the play dough, we
placed saran wrap on top of it to
separate the concrete from the
play dough. This allows us to
reuse the play dough if needed.
After the saran wrap was put in
place, we poured the concrete
mixture into the pan. Once it
solidified, we took it out of the
pan and the saran wrap stuck
to the concrete. It took some
effort to get the saran wrap
completely off of the concrete
because it got stuck in a lot of
the creases. It was interesting
to see how some places of the
mold turned out really smooth
and some places are full of
creases. Overall, this iteration
worked but would not be one
that we would want to move
forward with.
