The LDR on Rubber Shoes for Tiny Tripod Feet

The goal of this particular project was to manufacture three rubber discs, 110mm in diameter and 30mm thick. The rubber employed was the standard silicon stuff that is normally utilized as bathroom caulk. It comes in caulking gun tubes so a caulking gun is required to push the presumptive rubber fluid out of the tubes.

Now! I Rayetta thought to take charge of this project for reasons that should be obvious to all but the comatose. So I am fully responsible for the result. But having never actually manufactured these items previously I made a couple of miscalculations. These were:

1) Canola oil seems to encourage bonding between rubber and plastic rather than discouraging such bonding

2) the rubber on the inside of the discs remains in a liquid state and only the outer part of the disc, those parts in contact with the atmosphere or within a short distance of the atmosphere, actually assume solidity

As a result of 1) and 2), when I Rayetta attempted to extract one of the discs from its mold, using the Crumby Ovate's mustache scissors, something of a a mess resulted. The rubber was stuck to the mold. This was most evident on the bottom of the mold where no air could circulate. Nevertheless, I extracted one of these discs from its mold, flipped it over, and attempted to smooth the down side out which was much distubed from being untimely ripped from the mold. I succeeded, partially.

Now I have dispatched Ray and Crumby to deal with the remainder of this project, and salvage what they may.

So what are we doin' here Ray?

Rayetta told me to get you to hep me salvage the telescope rubber shoes. She said it would be a dirty job and that we should transmigrate appropriately.
