Working quickly before the molten mixture can cool, he lifts the heavy metal pot with practiced ease. He aligns the spout directly over a series of reinforced wooden and steel molds laid out on his workbench. With steady hands, he pours the thick, glowing liquid into the frames.
He immediately places heavy metal plates over the filled molds and tightens industrial C-clamps with maximum leverage. Compacting the hot plastic forces out lingering bubbles, ensuring the finished material achieves maximum density and strength. This intense pressure is what turns soft melted bags into a solid, unyielding matrix.
As the compressed molds sit in the shade to cool, he steps back to let physics do the rest. The flexible plastic solidifies into a rigid, rock-hard structure as it reaches room temperature. Once the metal frames are cool to the touch, he unclamps them for the ultimate reveal.
