Wow. Maybe I just gave up too soon, or didn't stick with it long enough. But what a pain. I wondered how in the world people got these things to work. Now at least I have a little bit of hope.
A couple of people have sent me e-mails "off-list" to ask about my mold, how I built it, what materials, etc. Some have asked if it works with small cell, drone foundation, etc.
I have plans that I copied out of an ancient book at the library. If you wish to make your own mold, I will gladly copy my copies and send them along. Then you can choose whatever size foundation want.
The foundation mold is like a book. It has a hinge that you shut on molten wax, and once cooled, lift it up and peel off the sheet you just molded. Maybe if I ran the hair dryer over the mold first, then add the wax, it would release my foundation sooner. Peter, you're a breath of fresh air!
These plans are not digitalized for internet or e-mail. I'll have to snail-mail them. You can send me your address with a buck or two to cover postage and copying costs, and I'll send the plans right back.
