Hi,

I did not know isomalt became harder with higher heats, but i am about to see how all of your advice works out as i plan to retry this afternoon.

I am planning-long term goal- to do a two part mold of a two foot buddha. Short term I am going to make a small two part mold of a small bird statue which is about 30 cm high. My assumption is that pouring the liquid in through the hole is the way to go rather than pouring two parts and then adhering.

I am primarily learning about sugar molding from the internet and the new sugar casting book that was recently put out...forgot the name and it is not in front of me. It is a spiral bound book and refers a lot to the Chicago school of mold making.

Thanks!
