Wonderful instructive tutorial. With Diana's video it was like I knew exactly what to do. I'm now a mold making addict. My life will now be spent hunting down forms to pour plaster into. These are at the just poured stage.

First, I have no idea what I am doing! Now, here is how I am making some molds (that may or may not work). I spray the molds with a surfactant (read it on the internet). It breaks the surface tension of the water and it eliminates bubbles on the surface of your molds. It definitely works, I did not see one bubble. The surfactant is made of of a 50/50 mix of water and generic windex. Supposedly, straight windex will ruin the molds surface.
