An otherwise perfect pour ruined...

You might find this mildly interesting... at the same time this mold was curing I was working on a project with UV resin that I mixed with a little bit of alcohol ink. I used a toothpick to add and mix the ink, so of course it got uncured resin all over it. Just for the hell of it, I poked the toothpick in the curing silicone five times, leaving tiny dots of colour. I figured that it could help me quickly ID the mold or something.

When I came down the next morning and checked the mold, there were five little domes of uncured silicone with little red drops in them. I wiped them out and took this picture.

Next time I make a mold I might try putting a dot or two of uncured UV resin on the mold face to see how it would work for indexing without cutting the edges with an exacto knife...
