Detailed Crafting Steps

Step 1: Preparing the Mold

 Set the Foundation: Begin by placing the Shape Keeper for Mold 2 into the Cover Mold. This ensures the cover maintains its form during the casting process. ✔️

 

 

 

 

 Assemble the Main Body: Attach the Support Shell to Main Body Mold 1. Align it using the marked line on the mold for precise placement. Use clamps to secure it in place. 🔧

 

 

 

 

 Combine the Two Halves: Position Main Body Mold 2 over Mold 1. Make sure the clips on the molds align and snap together smoothly. Secure this setup with additional clamps. 🤝

 

 

 

 

Position the Final Shape Keeper: Attach Shape Keeper for Mold 1 to help maintain the integrity of the main part of the lamp. 🛡️

 

 

 

 

 

 Check Alignment: Inside the mold, locate two small protrusions. Adjust these gently to ensure they are correctly positioned to form the features of the lamp accurately. 🎯

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2: Mixing and Pouring the Boowannite

 

• Prepare Your Boowannite: In your mixing container, combine the Boowannite powder with the Boowannite liquid. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and consistent. 🌀
• Add Color: If desired, incorporate pigment into the mixture for a custom color. 🎨
• Pour: Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared molds. 🌊
• Let It Set: Allow the Boowannite to cure fully, which might take half an hour. ⏳

Step 3: Demolding and Finishing

 

• Remove the Lamp from Molds: Once the Boowannite has set and is hard, gently remove the lamp parts from the molds. 🗑️
• Sand the Edges: Use sanders or a tool to smooth any rough surfaces or edges, ensuring a professional finish. 🪒

Step 4: Electrical Assembly

 Insert the Light Diffusing Sheet: Fit this sheet inside the bottom part of the lamp to diffuse the LED light evenly. 💡

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Secure the Light Component: Attach and glue the main lighting component on top of the diffusing sheet. 🛠️

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Install the Touch Switch: Feed the touch switch wiring through the designated hole at the bottom of the lamp. Secure it with hot glue. ⚡

 

 

 

 

 

 Position the Battery Component: Similarly, insert the battery component through its respective hole and seal it. 🔋

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Connect the Electricals: Ensure all electrical connections are securely made and that the components are properly aligned and fixed. 🧲

 

 

 

 

 

Step 5: Final Assembly

• Attach the Anti-Slip Mat: Stick the anti-slip mat to the bottom of the lamp to prevent sliding and to stabilize the structure. 🧽
• Test Your Lamp: Once everything is in place, test the lamp to ensure functionality. 🧪
