A lost candy method for producing polymeric mock human tissue that has to meet an exacting specification comprise producing a batch of cores of a candy material from a sugar composition, and then coating such cores repetitively in pre-polymer material to build up sufficient thickness estimated to be short of or otherwise meeting the specification. After allowing completion of the polymerization process, then testing one polymerized member of the batch for if it meets the specification. If it does, then the remaining members can be tested for it they do too. If not but if things can be remedied by adding additional thickness, then returning to the step of coating with the remaining members of the batch. Otherwise, then returning to the beginning by of producing anew a fresh batch of cores of the candy material, and then coating such repetitively in said pre-polymer material except fewer times as originally.
