Initially talking to Gerry I was going to be making my molds using silicone. Creating a two piece silicone mold I would be able to then cast my pots with resin.
But after discussing the pros and cons of silicone molds further with both Conrad and Gerry, I decided there would be less risk of the cast being sticky because lack of air, if I were to use a fiberglass mold.

Although it'll take longer, the mold will be more tolerant and the casts themselves aren't at risk when taking them out of the molds. The process contained a lot of waiting time for things to dry before starting the next layer or stage.

It would definitely be a material I would work with again, now knowing how to use it properly and to be aware of toxicity of the material. It was a cautious decision on my part to use fiberglass due to my skin conditions but as it was the best choice in creating my pots I felt the satisfaction of spending a week creating a mold would override the itch or rash that may break through
