Stoumont Sanitarium - 7
Okay, so the next day I make sure my mold has a good coating of baby powder, and as soon as the glue starts to run from the gun I start pouring taking care to keep the tip of the nozzle below the surface of the glue. I try to let the glue flow into the mold instead of pushing it around with the tip. When I'm done pouring, I unplug the gun so that it does not get too hot. Guess what? *Five* almost perfect pours of three with nary a bubble in sight. I really think it had something to do with the gun getting to hot and creating gas inside of the glue. Neat for Sci-Fi, but not for this project! I start trimming the end windows for the east and west facings of the building.
Next I trace them on to the sides of the building. Then I angle the blade and slice out the portions I don't want deep enough so my windows are inset and flush with the outside wall. Got a little sloppy with the bottom one as it is off center ( I was focusing on not cutting through the wall too much...?).
Poured white glue on the back of the windows and stuck them into the wall. They stay nice and snug because the hot glue castings are nice and rubbery giving me some room to wiggle. I likes it so far!
I'll have to finish gouging out the window slots for the rest of the building so I finish cutting out all my windows into the sizes I'll need. At top are the east and west end windows, 1 quad hung, 2 triple hung, and 4 double hung each. Then for the sides (north and south excluding the main faces) I have 5 double hung per half, per floor. All in all I kept going back and forth between this and raw granny grating, but ultimately I decided to give this method a go. It may not be best, but definately for other projects (dragon's teeth, etc.) I'll be using it again. We'll see how it turns out in the end.
