Bronze Casting - Step 9
The Mold Reassembled

Like we said, it would have been a bit better to have a well defined ridge along the dividing like where you could use C-clamps to hold the mold together. But this set up worked OK, and sometimes you can even take an old bicycle inner tube and tie it into a loop that can be placed around the mold, keeping everything in place.

At this point we will be pouring wax into the mold and use the "slush" technique for making a hollow statue. So you want to secure the mold in place but also be able to lift it up - both factors necessary for the slush technique.
