Quantum Dot Lite Brite Pt.3

April 22, 2016

The other day I was able to cast the silicone molding media to make the mold for the QD embedded plastic pieces. The molding media I bought doesn't require a vacuum as I previously thought, so I was able to cast it at home in my kitchen. It is very simple to do as it is simply a 1:1 volumetric ratio. I borrowed some multipurpose mold release from out school's "Tinker" lab, and it seemed to work just fine.
