    Wonderful mold!!! The little pot came out so nicely.... This video is really right on time, because I've been making my own molds recently. Mine don't always come out as well. I had a piece floated on the last one:( but I'll keep on!!
    Some day I'll get better.

      My pleasure Dolly. Honestly, the more you make the better they get. I do have disasters as well. I made a mould a few months ago and couldn't work out why it didn't set up. I kept going back to it and it just wouldn't set. I had forgotten to put in the hardener LOL
