I figured out one issue last night, The top where I poured it is nice & glossy but the sides are flat and I was wondering why. When I looked at the sides closely under a good light the silcone had picked up the wood grain even though I'd sanded it with 400 and you can't feel it. Looks like I need to paint or varnish my masters to fill the grain if I want to use the silicone again. Since these shapes really have no detail I may just try plaster or bondo for the next molds.

Eben, I want to embed the hooks and some lead in the bodies of these. Can I pour some rubber so the molds 1/2 full, and let it set up, then add the lead and hooks where I want them and then pour more hot rubber over that ?

I wasn't sure when I see multi colored rubber, do they wait for the first color to setup before pouring the second ?
