hard_shell_molds:7._apply_the_silicone_keys

1) Once the sedond layer is applied for the first blanket of silicone, and while that layer is still wet and tacky, start applying the silicone keys. These will help the silicone stay adhered to the inside of the hard plaster mold.

2) After the silicone has cured, trim the edge of the blanket to get a smooth line, and discrd the trimmed pieces. Cut dovetail-shaped keys around the perimeter using a sharp X-Acto knife. This serrated edge will help the silicone blanket register to the mother mold.
