It is  the nature of Mold & Casting Compound to shrink slightly during the curing process (up to 3% depending on the amount of catalyst added). Shrinking may cause the material to warp or bend adding more time and labor to the next step: “Glass Facing”. “Glass Facing” is the term we use to describe what will be truing (making perfectly flat) and polishing the cavity side of the mold block. In BOOK Two, Advanced Mold Making, we will discuss different ways to glass face much larger blocks of Mold & Casting Compound. </B></FONT></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <FONT style='color:#800000;'><B> </B></FONT></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B>19.  With #120 wet sand paper; wet the sand paper on both sided. Place the sand paper on the glass work surface. Place the mold block on the sand paper with firm and even downward pressure, rub (sand) the mold block cavity side until it has a uniform and flat surface. Do this to all six sides. It is OK to round-off outside edges slightly. Add more water to the sand paper as needed.
