Mold Making Process | Filigree Pendant Part 2

In this video, I go over my process for making an RTV silicone mold using a DIY wax injector. These wax injections will later be cast using the lost wax casting method.

    So kewl to see someone doing it the same way I do - im a big fan of diy and "on the cheap", lol 😏👍 Great video, thank you. Couple things that helped me - 1 - I cut air vents after de-molding the item 2 - I microwave my mold to heat it before injecting wax (cant guarantee what its doing to the life of the mold) 3 - I made a long tube on my injector instead of the tip like you have. Personal preference, but I get my silicone from silicones inc. GI 1000 10 to 1 Ive tried many and love working with this stuff - long library life.

    Un molde de hule comun del usado para vulcanizar llantas,tiene unas propiedades increibles,el molde en cuestión se ahoha por espaciode 24hs.en petroleo,el mold se incha y la figura grabada aumenta el 500/100,entonces colamos parafina y obtenemos una copia pero mucho mas grande a un costo bajo.proceso "jonapru",intentelo es libre.

    Good , I liked the way to put air vents, I normally cut air vents in v shape as many as I like so the pattern is filled completely with out any flaw. And now I will try 1mm dia wire to attach to the master, as air vents. And I never use talcum powder , as I want every pattern to be highly polished as the master model, I have prepared. My two cents. May all be happy and at ease free from dis-ease.

    Another great video! If you dont mind me asking, how did you manage to cut the silicon island in the top of the pendant?

    @GraceNoteForge

    Жыл бұрын

    Thank you! I like to slowly cut along the outside profile (keeping in mind where I want the seem to be). Then when the inside island is easier to get to, I try to gently stretch the silicone and cut along the center so that the wax releases easily on both sides of the mold. Hope that makes sense 😅

    This is a great video! I’ve just got one question if it’s okay? How do you know where to place the vents? For example, I’m trying to cast a simple signet (with an engraving in the wax top), and I’m finding that I continuously get incomplete castings. Only one of 10 attempts has been successful. Any tips for rings? Would you consider making a mould of your lion head ring in a tutorial?

    Hi Josiah, can you please tell me where you source your sticky wax from? My research shows a number of options online with mixed reviews. Yours seems effective. Thanks!

    It's Sculpture House Microcrystalline Wax. It's a soft/sticky modeling wax that works great for casting. I get mine at Black art supplies: bit.ly/36eeNml
