Hey all,
Ok I have demolded the bottom half and I was correct in my thinking. Although it is a good copy of the grill, it is too soft to keep a perfect form so I will be reordering Smooth-on OMOO 25 or 30 in the larger size to make the mold.
You have to buy non-vacuum press 1 to 1 mix ratio!!
Good thing is that with the tiny alterations I made to the grill, there are no issues in the de-molding process as long as I use a mold release. You really don't need one with silicone as it is a very non-porous almost moist surface but it cant hurt.
I purchased their 2 part plastic and got some brown and black dye.
Hopefully when I mix 2 separate batches of light and dark brown and pour them in together they will swirl like the original.
I also am going to purchased the translucent mix.
No more progress until I get all the new supplies but here is the finished bottom half of the mold.
