Directions:

1.Order or 3D Print all items needed for Project List 

2.Put all items that you want to put in the time capsule in the time capsule

3.Apply Silicon rings, bolts, hardware, etc while leaving room for Argon Gas Exchange

4.Complete Argon Gas Exchange and Seal Time Capsule

5.Place Sealed Time Capsule in a Sealed Plastic Bag with Additional Silica Packet

6.Spray Quick Release on the inside of the inner mold

7.Place the Bag/Time Capsule inside of the inner mold

8.Seal the inner mold using Gorilla Tape

9.Spray insullating foam in inner mold

11.Wait 24 hours for foam to harden

12.Remove tape from inner mold and release foam core

13.Wrap foam core with gorilla tape if necessary to ensure integrity

15.Apply wood stabalizers to foam core

16.Gorilla Tape 3D printed inserts of year and opening instructions to the inside of outer mold

17.Spray Quick Release on the inside of the outer mold

18.Place the inner core inside of the outer mold

19.Seal the outer mold using Gorilla Tape

20.Mix the concrete

21.Add Fiberglass for added strength

22.Pour concrete into mold

23.Vibrate outer mold with orbital sander to remove air pockets

24.Wipe off outer mold

25.Wait 72 hours for concrete to harden

26.Remove tape from outer mold and release concrete

And that right there is physics
