Hello Im soon going to be molding a piece with a severe undercut and windows, and I figure the best way to do this is by using a 1-part mold.

Saying that, Ive only ever done one 1-part mold and It came out awful. 2-parts are my specialty really. Can anyone give me some tips and pointers on successfully pulling this off?
Heres a couple of instructionals Ive looked at that look promising.

What does anyone think of these? Do you think theyd work with opaque silicone molds? Im contemplating purchasing some clear rubber, but thats a double increase in the price of the rubber I buy now.

Thanks!
