I also then smoothed the IRP over the edge of the top, to create a lip so that, when I poured the master, I would be able to fill up the mold and get a smooth bottom. I had expected that pressing the compact into the IRP would smooth those out as it would in silicone. It took 2 tries - I didn't smooth the IRP as well as I should have, so the creases left traces/bubbles in the master pour. Using IRP, I was able to press just the compact top into it, without having to build a dam of any sort. I found that any issues I mention below are mostly "user error" - IRP is a very good tool to add to one's kit. It also would have been very exacting to build a clay dam to isolate just the compact top for a silicone pour.
The easiest way would have been to pour the first mold in silicone, then pour again into that mold, but that's a lot of wasted silicone, and expensive.

I knew it was going to be a challenge - the compact is super-smooth plastic, making air bubbles a distinct issue, and there is a narrow groove into which the skin fits, also a challenge. I bought this for a specific project: I am making a polymer clay custom "skin" for a powder compact, and wanted a silicone model of the top of the compact upon which to work and fire. Besides that it does what its meant to do.
Its great and all but it sometimes melts in my own hand, I think its because of the heat on my hand. Please share this video and tell everyone you know about ComposiMold!
