Re: Molding sticky substances

Why not a piston method of the same - teflon (or not) coated cylinder holes
(sizes and shapes of your taste).  A cylinder of the same shape oscilates up
and down, it also having a non-stick 'bottom' surface.  meanwhile, in the
'up stroke, a small amount of the desired compound could be injected from a
side port.  the cylinder would press the goop down, and the bottom already
being on a non-stick sheet, a shape of your choosing would be
'pressed'/formed.  The mold could then retract, while the cylinders
continued to press slightly down while the mold retreated.  How boot that?
