Using Sand as base for molding?
I was watching a video on Alumilite about making a silicone mold of a thin vacuum-formed part and the instructor said to embed/lay the part over in sand. I've never heard this before and was amazed how simple the idea is!
Has anyone ever tried this? Using just sand as the bottom base, putting a thin layer/part in and adding keys to make a 2 part mold sounds like a much easier/faster way than going the clay route it seems.
