Preserving Manchester...

I have cast some pavements and my technique worked so all is good,  although I did have some perfecting along the way and a few queries from some security men about what I was doing.  I realised that I need to put some sort of lubricant on the surface first, vaseline worked great and I also had to apply modrock to the top of the alginate so that I could press down on it to mould to the pavement.  

Now that I have this technique of preserving under my belt it is on to other things I can preserve at the site.  For example, the wind, cloud formations and the people at the site at that particular time.  I am also going to broaden my range of Manchester and will use the full map, instead of a small section which I used for tests.
