If you mixed some corn starch and acrylic paint with the silicone, you can make what's called Oogoo, which would be easier to handle. You can also replace the acrylic paint with food coloring and create Proto-Putty, which is said to be more durable. I recommend checking tutorials for both and experimenting with which may be the better for your projects. :)
little tip on the resin , if you fill the molds with water and dump it into a cup you canget a good idea of how much resin that you need

Which kind of (paint) you used for the polyester resin pieces ?
what was the purpose of the plaster molds...just to show it could be done with plaster....then showing how it would be done with resin?
How many times can you use the mold before you have to replace it?
for silicon not to stick to model what are u using as seperator ? i know u can use baby powder
hello what brand is the polyester resin 1qt. you use please!
can I ask whats the mixture for the resin?
is there anything i can buy at wallmart thats a good plastic mix?
how much water did you add to the gypsum ?
DUDE watching this is hypnotic; Im not even a modeler and i love ur channel
Have you try to make metal part with the same technic?
which material in can u used for die please name of it and from where can I get it
This tutorial is great, tried it myself and was wowed. There is one thing that though me for a six was that fact you use hypodermic needles to mix your resin?
I can not do well like you do ! Good example. I learned many. Thank you !
Thanks for usefully video, nice work..at 5:45, what did you add in polyester resin..
Whats the white powder stuff ur using to cast the moddel
quality detail, suprised me when i saw how messy it was!
Now I have another use for all that work silicon. Nice demo and interesting additions in the comments. Thanks chaps!
You might get better results by hot gluing your masters to a flat piece of glass, acrylic, or what have you. Then add your mold-making material (which can also be regular air-drying rubber such as is used for model railroad rock molds). You might want to build a little stick "dam" around your dried mold(s) and pour a back-up of plaster into it. When hard, lift off the plaster, and peel off the rubber. This way, you create a support for the mold cavities so that they remain undistorted and the openings remain level. Then, when you pour your casting material (Hydrocal is a good choice), you overfill the cavities, then place a piece of glass or Plexiglas over the mold, giving your parts a completely flat back when dry.

you can also whip up a bowl of water and glycerin or dish soap is what I use and pump the silicone into it. the glycerine acts as a catalyst. You knead it for a bit in the solution until it gets thick. take it out and press your positive in and wait like 30 mind, maybe more to be safe. demold and you're done
Nice How To! Excellent choice of tunage.
is that REGULAR gypsum like the one you might buy on a workshop?
Hello. Are these able to take a gold spray paint? Thank you for this video. :)
Can you use clay as a model?
Interesting, but what is the white stuff you mixed? I figured the other stuff is liquid resin. Video was ok. It gave me some ideas.
this is great, thanks for sharing.
Arent gypsum broke easily?
I use plain old PAM cooking spray as a great mold separator! An old trick I learned from a friendly plastic vacuum forming shop in Detroit.
Great class for this. You make it easy.
which powder is that?
Can i make that into two part mold? Like front and bottom?
Going to try this on a ls engine I just ordered.
i think 1kg two part silicone for around $20-30 would be cheaper than 100g in tube for $8 Seems it would be cleaner to work with.
I always assumed there was some catch to that silicone being so much cheaper than the art kind. Is it more toxic? Longer drying time? Less durable? Too hard?
Brilliant! Very clever.
i have something in mind, and have one question with all this, how brittle are these model creations, ?
You MAY want to clear coat your pieces first. If you have a mat finish, or rough peg marks, the silicone could bond , causing demolding issues... This is as someone who uses silocone caulking both for molds and for professional work. XP

Thanks I have never done plastic molds or plaster. I have made a mold once when we were making bronze casting years ago. I do want to try and make a plastic mold once. Just to learn the procces.
I noticed you never made those panels with skulls ( like a weird church lol ).I wondered where the original panels where from cos they looked good cast in gypsum plaster
Very good! -but wgere can I get this powder that you show here?? Is there any site from where I could order this product or similar?? Do you know? I live in Europe, and a U.E. company to order this from, would be great!! 1000 Thanks!!
great tutorial , also the music is great. thanks!
David could yoy make an experiment once when you cast every singel part in a model somthing small a 1:72 scale plane that would be relly interesting.
The silicone easy part find diy stuff to put in what u need to make ?
As soon as I saw the silicone tube it made perfect sense
Nice tutorial, but you don't have to wait a week for it to cure. This is acetoxy silicone which cures by absorbing air moisture and releasing acetic acid. You can put it in a plastic bag with a small cup of water and sealing it (and heating the air inside). In theory this can cut the curing time to 1/5 or 1/10 of the time.

Dante Grimm Does the corn starch affect the clarity or integrity of the resin?
@redjack2629

Chris Hansen - Silicone, you mean. And yes. It causes the silicone to become thicker and opaque white. It also stretches less, becoming easy to tear over a few months. That said, it's perfect for popping out pieces quick as it becomes stiff in 45 minutes and can demold in 2 hours, depending on how thick you mix it. Dumping the silicone into a bowl of water with dish soap in it before applying it for the mold can also reduce curing time, but won't reduce clarity or integrity of the mold, though that's only important if you're doing a two-part mold. In this case, it should be fully cured in 24 hours.

I finally tried the technique but couldn't make it work, the silicone attached to the original piece and I couldn't take it out without breaking the mold (I couldn't even unglue it completely). I thought this might happenned so I covered the original with some industrial oil, coudl that be the SAME reason why this happenned? I also didn't let it dry for a week, just 2 days... any ideas?

I also tried to use other types of sillicone, but they were too sticky with the plastic parts. For me is the best choice transparent universal sillicone. Sillicone is very resilient, so you can fill it with any substance, even molted metal, for example tin metal.
fantastic!!!
If you mix some white glue into your plaster it would make it much stronger wont break as easy

Silicone tubes here from Wal-mart $2.99 and buying silicone mix for making molds is about $20.00. I think silicone tube in EU is different than silicon here in USA. Tried to find same silicon used in vid but can't find it.

So do people think this is actually worth trying, or should I just pay the money for proper moulding solution? I'm tempted by the cheap option with plaster! Dave
I don't get why you only had 1 glove when you ended up touching the silicone anyway. I mean that's _exactly_ like something I would do but I'd be calling myself an idiot while I'm picking silicone out of my fingernails.
