This document provides instructions for making a plaster mold and using it to create a resin casting. It describes making a cardboard mold, pouring plaster into it to create the plaster mold, applying oil to the plaster mold, mixing resin and catalyst and pouring it over letters placed in the mold. It notes that the plaster mold was too rough and needed a screwdriver to remove the resin casting, potentially damaging the plaster mold. It concludes that a lift-out angle should be considered for easier removal of castings without breaking them.
