I made some semi truck hoods using this idea. The space in the thickest part such as the center of the body, I dug out a hole to go part way in just to give the second mold rubber some flex to get it out easier.

@@shotgundave92584 I tried that because I had a hard time getting the mold rubber out of a hood one time. So I cut away some of the rubber which made it more flexible but still held the shape.

superb video, I've been struggling for a long time to determine how to mold parts with windows. I guess by having the window indented on the first mold, it will connect with the plug blocking off the windows.

What about putting vasoline on the outside of the body? It will come out easier. Think, so?

@shotgundave92584

7 ай бұрын

Thanks Keith. It would come out easier. But the drawback is that it would leave marks in the mold, that would show up on every body that was cast.

Did you have to brush down outside of the car body( with decals and numbers)with Vaseline before using modelling clay to fill the inside?

@shotgundave92584

No Vaseline is needed until you have to pour silicone on top of silicone.

Hey Gene. Glad to hear you're giving it a try. I use Magikmold P-525 silicone. For the clay, I've been using the Monster Clay but it's a little expensive. So I'm going to switch to the Protolina Clay. It's really cheap and will do the same job. Hope that helps.

sulpher free modeling clay... sulpher can inhibit certain types of silicone cure... since the clay is reusable, best to get the sulpher free like chauvant.
