I am trying to make a plaster slump mold of an everyday dinner plate I have
here at home. It is a round plate, coil foot with a circle of space inside
the coil foot. What I trying to find out is if the foot would act as an
undercut? For the most part I know what a typical undercut looks like but I
am just not sure if the foot on a plate would be one. When I try to imagine
pouring the plaster over the plate to make the mold, I do not see where it
would get stuck so that it would not come out of the plaster but I do not
want to find out after I pour that I was wrong J. I wish I could explain i=
t
better but I have attached a photo just in case it helps explain it better.
There are three photos attached that might help explain what I am trying to
say. Two of them are a shot of the bottom of the exact plate I am trying to
use and the third one is a shot of a plate that was thrown on a wheel and
had a foot added. What I am looking to find out is if the type of foot on
these photos would be considered an undercut and would get locked into
plaster if I used them as a model for making a slump mold.
Thank you.
I hope someone can help because I am lost and frustrated. Most undercuts ar=
e
clearly undercuts but I am just not sure about the foot ring.
Thank you
