If preheated for a better flow, you need to heat the mold. Polypropylene medicine bottles cannot tolerate 450F, so I suggest you use a small aluminum bottle.

If it did snap, the wire inside would allow you to remove it. You need to use very low viscosity, and hard curing epoxy.

We deal with high security locks that have "do not duplicate" on them. One of my co-workers said he could get them copied, you just have to sign some waiver. I always figured you could just cover up the part of the key with silicon, epoxy or even a 3d printed piece of plastic to hide the "do not duplicate" and just make it look like a grip or decoration for the key. if you can get a blank you could also file it yourself. Still cool demo!

@@electronicsNmore That's true, it's illegal to copy a key that isn't your own. However, there are no specific laws stating that DND keys are illegal to copy. It just adds a bit more protection because people think they cant do it. The only circumstances you cant copy a DND key is if its part of a master key system, part of a patented/restricted key control system, or if the key technician suspects wrongful intent.

Would be a much better video if you actually narrated during the process. I don't understand why people think quiet non-verbal instruction videos are better than narrated. You could have explained a lot of what your thinking process was while you were going along (over dubbed the narration after trimming the video). You could have explained some things like... 1) - How did you calculate the amount of liquid latex to use to get the exact fill of your mold? 2) - Have you ever tried using a release (oil or talc) to line the mold to make the latex remove easier so you don't have to destroy the mold to get it out? 3) - What type of metal ingot did you use? etc... Seems especially uncomfortable every time you point to something like we're supposed to be noticing something specific... but no narration to actually explain. There's tons of similar videos out there where the creators actually talk about what their showing. Good luck with your channel. Just something to consider. I personally am turned off by non-verbal instruction videos, so I won't be subscribing.
