i'm trying to cast weapons in resin and need help

I got some legos last night. Sadly it isn't enough to make a good enclosure for teh katana I want to copy. if it was my sword I could do this a lot more easily but since its mine I can't damage it and have to be very gentle.

I don't know what kind of mold material you're using, but I like to use Legos to build my mold boxes for one main reason: because a 1x1 brick is 1ml, you can pretty well figure out how much silicone you will need by multiplying width x height x depth to get the volume of the mold box. Depending on if you use the English system, you'll need to convert ml to ounces or cups: there are resources searchable online to do this.

Cool. I'd rather do one piece. I just need a container for the katana. Wish it was mine so I didn't have to worry about it breaking.

For smaller parts, I would suggest one piece mold, rather than 2 pieces molds.

cool. I just have to remember what my password is on there lol. I talked to kyle robinson and he says for a lot of smaller parts you need a pressure pot. I'm gonna stock up on weapons and then try.
