Skipped the mold bake and learned the hard way

Honestly, I was trying to finish a job fast and didn't let the mold bake long enough. Tbh, I figured the leftover heat would handle it. When I poured the bronze, the mold cracked and metal leaked everywhere. Ngl, I had to scrap the whole piece and start over. I realized that rushing never pays off in this work. Now, I set a timer and never cut corners on drying time. It's a simple thing that avoids big messes.

Learned that lesson on my garage floor last year.

Garage floors can be such a pain. I had a similar issue with an oil stain last winter. Soap and water just spread it around more. In my experience, a baking soda and vinegar paste works best. Leave it on for at least an hour before you scrub. That combo broke down the grease without damaging the concrete.
