Hello,
The link to the SculptureHouse site was very useful. I’ve  long wanted to do 
a casting of some of my coin carvings = big counterfeits. I  purchased some of 
the casting material and I was wondering if anyone has made  molds before?
I know I will have to seal the carving very well. Here is my  second 
question: Is there a sealant/varnish that will not yellow or darken the  wood?

Thanks for any assistance,

Tom



Water-based poly acrylic seems to do the best sealing with the least  
yellowing/darkening, just my opinion.
