It's as if glass fragments and powder were put in a mold and heated up to make some kind of glass object, but if liquid glass is poured into a cast, the resultant object is no longer glass. Do you think the audience will struggle with this?

Meanwhile, shouldn't we be calling a lot of "molded" glass beads "cast", inasmuch as they amount to "cast" liquid glass?

Since Bakelite only results from dry molding and liquid castings of Bakelite are no longer Bakelite, what do we call the "liquidcast" material?

"drymold" Bakelite = Bakelite
"liquidcast" Bakelite = ???

Gosh, it's deep! Coming soon...the difference between "mold" and "cast".
