This time I am using a different silicone, mainly because it is what is locally available after I bought out all the Quick Set from Hobby Lobby. The High Strength is much more flexible than the Quick Set, if your project requires it, but may be less durable over time. In hindsight, I probably should have waited and used all Quick Set, but Hobby Lobby only stocks one container of each at any given time, and doesn't restock them right away, so I end up driving all over town to get enough.
The High Strength is more pink in color. I removed the insert for now to get a better pour into the middle of the lens.
After pouring a decent amount into the lens, I re-assembled the rest of the box and the insert and finished the pour.
As you can see, I taped up the seam between my box halves. As thick as this stuff is to pour, it seems to find its way through the smallest of cracks and make a mess. Now this will set up for another day or two, and then we can undo everything and see what we got.
