Hmmm, well I'm not doing anything tomorrow...

I might just do that. However, I don't really know much about the urethane casting process. I can teach how to use the tools in Solidworks, but I don't know if there are special considerations that need to be accounted for in the mold design, (Besides adding draft, eliminating undercuts and such, I've designed an injection mold before.)
