[QUOTE="singlespeed, post: 48862, member: 264"] [u][b]Finished scoop[/b][/u] It took two attempts to get an acceptable result. The first one was stuck in the mould and had several areas where the resin pulled away when it was forcibly removed... Serves me right for scrimping on the release wax and PVA. Also, I missed a bit with the second layer, so it was a bit bendy.
