Nothing is easy...
Took almost all of my sand and I damaged it trying to get the pattern out.
Tried again with the same results.
Then I noticed the paint felt rubbery and tried to sand it a little. It started peeling off so I think the paint I had been using was latex and probably wasn't dry enough but it wasn't sticking very good to the PLA plastic either. I scraped and sanded most of it off and figured I'd just wax the pattern.
This bottle was probably ONLY 30 years old but the plastic shattered when I squeezed it. I used it anyway but I don't have time to keep messing with it today.
I'm not giving up on this idea yet but it will be delayed a little bit till I can try again.
