Bunkers - more experiments.

Maybe you could try to spray the surface with some rinsing agent. that might break the surface tension. (hope you understand my gibberish)

That might work, sure! But actually, pre-wetting the whole mold for now doesn't seem such a bad idea! I would not coat the exterior with future only because it's going to take AGES to dry it, when usually i bake it in the oven for 10 or 20 minutes at low temp to remove the air!

The second bunker is done, in 15mm! I've decided to work with the wet mold rather than the Future solution because i like to control my pouring, even if that means destroying the mold after.



A tutorial will follow shortly!

Hello gents.

My "relatively shortly" is always kinda elastic, but finally i managed to complete the report about the retraction tests.

Nice bunker.  It really got the concrete feel to it.
