$200 later

I bought all the mold making supplies, costing a little over $200. Some things were specifically mold-use like Smooth On Rubber 121-30, and fifty pounds bags of "FGR" (which I almost always mistakenly call "FDR") that I had to drive all the way to Richmond to the warehouse location of Douglas and Sturgess to get. Other items are more common but seem strange in this application, such as a small container of Crisco shortening, a deck of cards, and not one, not two, but four one-gallon buckets.

Moldmaking is scheduled to begin next week. I'm very, very, very anxious to begin the next phase.
