How to make a Silicone Block Mold pt.1

Here I show how to successfully make a simple two piece silicone block mold. The castings are made from hydrostone which were originally cast into a one-time use mold created with Alja-Safe from Smooth-On products. I also used a Universal Mold release from Smooth-On as well.
