#or with the light strips temporarily housed in something thrown together out of wire and iridescent cellophane

I am learning a very many things today.

I should have put a few more coats of silicone on the brush-up mold of the horns.

I should have put a few more layers of plaster bandage in the mother mold.

The working time of Let's Resin epoxy is waaaay too long for slush casting, and I should have gotten urethane resin. Instead of a nice hollow pair of horns, I have ended up with plaster that has become so thoroughly impregnated with epoxy that I cannot crack the molds open and the whole thing is a wash.

The nuts that came in the bolt-on kit for the Adafruit Circuit Playground are too big for the shell housing to accommodate, and I'm going to have to solder these leads on like a pleb.
