Great video, I just had the same problem with resin that was a few years old and was thick. Try heating it up.. as soon as I started to put on the fiberglass it was setting.. I carried on and got it finished , not perfect but got it done.. hopefully put it on the forum in the week the piece I did ...Thanks again for your Video!!!

What was the release agent for if you added the wax

When you put concrete or what ever in rubber mold how do you keep the shape till you can make fibreglass mother mold thanks

the use of the paint tray is a good idea and how you empty all the resin into it , i will do this from now on

Hi, just wondering how do you clean the brush that was used to apply the liquid polyester resin with the matting afterwards? I attempted to make a mold using resin and the brush was ruined afterwards. Is there anyway to salvage the brush afterwards at all??

I get fibreglass supplies from here: www.mbfg.co.uk Also, here's a video with what I use: Materials | Fibreglass Laminating Resin: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nKerrtKNhpa2ibA.html

Would this be the same method if the mold was polyurethane rubber and not silicone?

@dramamask

3 жыл бұрын

The method would be similar and I have used fibreglass to make mother molds to house silicone. However, you might want to check out other peoples videos when using different materials. I know many use a resin to make mother molds to house molds made from materials other than latex. :)

Most videos I saw, put the wax BEFORE the PVA release. Why different?

@dramamask

5 жыл бұрын

You are right and it is best to put on wax first and then PVA. I had a brain fart during this video and the correction is in the description. PS: I have seen some put on wax then PVA and another coat of wax on top of the PVA, but I stick to the conventional way.

How do I find this type of latex? Where do I find it in bulk?

It's preference really and there are lots of ways to make seams. Paper or magazine paper can be used to make the seams on latex molds, but some more sturdy is better for making the seam separation on fibreglass mother molds. :)

Why didn't you just make one side first and dan remove de tape en stuf and then make the second mold against that side? Then you don't have any gaps and a perfect fit of the 2 halfs.

We made a flange and then started with one side, then if thats finished leav the mold on and take the flange that you made of and then make the other mold against the first mold.
