Yesterday was great...

I've spent the past few months at school working on turning three sculptures I made out of modeling clay into plastic. I made a latex mold of one (liquid latex smells pretty awful), then took the latex off and put it together holding the cracks with duct tape. That was a while ago. So anyway, yesterday I pour the plastic (EZ-cast). And it starts dripping. So here I am thinking "Oh shit... das ist nicht gut..." and so i start putting more duct tape over where the leaks are. I won't elaborate too much, but apparently EZ-cast leaks straight through duct tape, so all the time i spent taping it up more did nothing.

So in summary, I don't have my sculpture in plastic, I inhaled toxic fumes which the ventilation failed to remove, and there's now a (six hours later) solid plastic puddle on the floor of my teacher's clay room. Whoopee. Well, I've got plenty of work set out for me...
