Problems with first prototype 

•  Fixed height did not fit different user heights •  Pressing against the contact surface was uncomfortable due to its ver#cality 

•  Latex material discolora#on

Place conduc#ve sheets 

‐  Glue sheets to the wood with double sided tape ‐  Spray the rest of the wood with mold release 

This way the silicon will not s#ck to the wood, and the conduc#ve sheets will stay a4ached to the bo4om.

Carefully pour silicon liquid 

The silicon comes in two separate liquid bo4les. It is necessary to mix the two first, before pouring the liquid onto the wooden mold. In this stage, it is essen#al to minimize the amount of air bubbles.
