Step 8: STEP 7: Remove Plastic from Frame

Very quickly take out the frame, lay the plastic face down on top of your object.  Turn on vacuum cleaner and then create mold!

Optional Step: If plastic has not formed nicely around your object, use a Heat Gun and melt the plastic a bit more so it deform to a more accurate shape.  Turn on vacuum.

Once plastic has dried, carefully remove plastic from object.

What would have been really cool at this point is to see the plastic, still on the frame, and the frame in the pan with the molded item, before the frame was taken out of the pan and the plastic was taken off the frame.
