Sure do appreciate y'all. I'm telling you, the encouragement goes a long way!

Yes! Love this stuff. Some points to add: - This is sold under a million names because it's not patented. The actual name of the material itself is 'polycaprolactone'. Helps with searching for it - It can really stick well to certain other plastics, especially when it's really hot. I was worried for you, feel like you kinda got lucky not to end up with a permanent blob on your castle door! - It's pretty strong, you can really build stuff with it. My favourite trick with that is, if your part needs screws or bolts, you can wrap it around them and when it cools you've got perfect threaded holes right there

Yep, make sure to use a mold release! I find a little vegetable oil works just fine.

not sure if uve shown this before but u can weigh the piece after you cut away the flash to determine how much plastic to weigh out for the next cast so that there isnt flash the second time . Lovely way to start my morning :) thank u for the video!

Sarah Barnhill hi Sarah 👋 it may not work for this but I use a HOT KNIFE for Resin work, to get the drips off of the back side of my paintings & coasters etc.. so your idea is a great idea there 👌. For anyone who wants to know.. A ‘Hot Knife’ is like the ones used for cutting thru styrofoam for shaping. Some are like a wire cheese cutter DON’T get the cheese cutter lol 💨 but if ya look around eBay or amazon there’s another kind that looks like an Exacto knife & they come with many different blades that can be used in the same knife. Total game changer for resin drips! I don’t tape off the backside of anything anymore.. a hot knife thru resin drips is like cutting thru warm BUTTER! Cheap cheap ($12) and sooo practical. It may work for this as well.. if ya used the tip of a blade and get in & out kind of quick 🤔

Finding and watching you over the last few days has brought my anxiety way down. Thank you so much for this channel.

Crafsman, once again you have inspired me to steadier craftin. I am a wargamer, and that hobby gets real expensive, real quick. I dont play competitively, only at my friendly local game store, and guys there have 3d printed minis and such. Just ordered me some InstaMorph, cant wait to be the first lad to have handmolded plastic minis! Much love from California.

I have some of these thermoplastic beads. I knew I could use Sculpey with them but I had no idea I could use thermoplastic on thermoplastic! I thought the hot piece would warm the mold up enough to deform it. Now I know it's safe to do. Thank you so much Craf'sman for all that you do. I love these videos. The way you speak, and the sense of humor, the down to earth genuine presentation. You are a gift that the crafting community doesn't deserve! But we are so glad you're here!

Yes, epoxy clay and epoxy putty can be used to cast items out of those mold. Also, that is the same plastic used in Worbla, so you can join the pieces you make to Worbla easily. There is also sheets of this material available, as well as colored beads that can be mixed it for some intense colors.

some cheap toothbrushes are made from the same plastic too, so if you can’t find the official products where you’re at, get some cheap toothbrushes and try boiling them, if the plastic goes soft you can use that to experiment.

I discovered you just over the weekend. It's been a pleasure to watch and you are a treasure here on youtube. Thank you.

Yippee! Another great Crafsman video... and none too soon! Thank you Crafsman!

Fun story: my youngest brother (12) got some of this to make faux fangs for Halloween and went ahead and did it without supervision,, and encased his entire bottom row of teeth WITH braces and was unable to get it off. We had to go to the ER, who then sent us to the orthodontist where they had to use a diamond bit dremel to carve the plastic out.

Crafsman, you are a neverending font of inspiration

I've had a little tub of thermoplastic beads for ages; I don't use them very often, but sometimes they come in really handy... Never even considered dyeing it, though!

So I got me some wood and some resin... and I made my own little sign... it said "Thank you Crafsman for thinking about me, I'm alive and doing fine!".
