Does mold coating work for silver halide as well as MBDCG? Right now, I’m trying to get a piece of granite for a bigger (3x5) table. Prices are ok, but getting over there is tough.
be sure to tell the stone yard you will accept a "ugly" pieces of granite as this will greatly reduce your price.
as far as mold coating is concerned its best to use a piece of 1/4" thick rear surface mirror as your mold, it will be flat enough .......
to see results look in the gallery at Cristiano_Perrucci's MBDCG holograms (done with mold coat method)
Glass is very cheap, I purchase old framed pictures at the salvation army!
Be careful you want only flat plate glass, I lay the glass on the floor and look at the reflected image of the ceiling, now move your head side to side and you should see NO distortion in the reflected image, if the glass is bad, you will see it right away
