HDPE Pellet Cast #1

First experiments using the square metal mould I made in 3D large. These are melted recycled HDPE pellets from milk bottles, supplied by Biffa Polymers from their closed loop recycling centre in Redcar. They need a lot of weight pressing down on them to stop the HDPE from contracting / shrinking as it cools. Melted at 180C for about 1.5hrs.
