Peeling the mold off of the pitch on top of the telescope-mirror polishing tool

We are peeling off the silicon-based form from the pitch that attached itself to a wooden base of a telescope mirror polishing tool. The next step is chipping off extra bits of pitch with a chisel and a hammer, as shown in another video. Progress on this project is documented at http://astroscopy.wordpress.com Many thanks to the telescope workshop of the Santa Barbara Astronomical Unit for making this project possible!
