Jose and I also talked about demystifying the vacuum casting, like putting holes in the bucket so people know what parts can be broken and which are important to keep airtight.

A New Look
In discussing the degrees of freedom of the vacuum casting system, I realized that my current method of bolting the silicon may not introduce enough variables for people to experiment and innovate. I'm looking into gaskets and toggle clamps to make more removable mechanisms for holding the shells or bladders in place. I'm looking into bucket with different lids, which would make the entire clamping mechanism smaller.
