How To Make A Silicone Mold & Cast Plaster

As part of a larger project I needed to make a two part silicone mold. I'm making a mold of a cassette tape, but you can follow the same steps with virtually any object, but you'll need to modify the steps in order to suite your object. I'm using OOMOO-30, which is nice because it's fairly affordable, and comes in small quantities. There are more resilient forms you can buy from smooth-on and elsewhere that would be better suited for lots of casting. 

Below you can find the list of materials. You can find many of these in a craft/hobby shop as well.
