Cement Casted Lamp - Genteel

Here is another experiment.

Undercut was always a problem in most plastic bottle.But if you are willing to sacrifice a mold in our case the bottle than shapes will exciting for the cast. Here I used Genteel washing powder bottle as a mold base and old lamp I found in the house somewhere.

wash it rinse it dry it.

Here I didn’t wanted to make a big hole in the bottle bottom to let wire out so I cut the wire from center and then passed the wire through.

Secure the cables on the top so doesn’t hinder while pouring the cement mixture.

Secure the lamp base in the center .make sure it doesn’t move during initial hours after poring the cement mixture.

After a day or two take the cutter and chop off all the plastic bottle.Planning how to cut out the bottle will actually help and make task much easier.

One of the most fun activity of this build.

Plan the cut lines and plan so its easier to remove the shell.
