I have a bumper crop of sweet gum balls in my yard and could not get he idea of trying to make a bowl with them. I bought a stackable plastic bowl set with the thought of using the bowls as molds. I placed gumballs between the largest bowl and the middle bowl and filled the space between them with PR resin (I filled the middle bowl with water so it would not float out). The larger bowl came off with some tugging. I have not gotten the small bowl off yet. Any suggestions on how to get it off? I am thinking about putting it in the refrigerator or freezer hopping that the temperature change might pop it loose or conversely taking my wife's hair dryer to it. As a last resort, I will break the bowl.
My plan is to turn a recess in the bottom, chuck it up, turn it thinner and polish it up.
