I recently discovered this channel. I am now going back to watch every video and loving every second of it.

Their work is excellent! Inspiring! Congratulations.

Ha! this is great! I have a piece that I thought about doing a mold of (never done it before) And now when I look in my subscribers feed you have done a video about it! Yes! Winning at life!! Thanks!

Hi Bill. Just watched the Q&A episode on this playlist and got my answer. Thanks, keep up the good work.

watching your videos really makes me wanna get started in prop-making! it looks like it´s so much fun! you do an outstanding job explaining the steps. (and i love my sticker in the background :) )

the flexibility of the vaced plastic could cause problems

cant wait to see the slush cast, ive had ideas for a mask for a while and just need the courage to try it, so here we go

Really wish I had found this before I slushed out my pieces for the first time. Very informative and thorough.

Hey bill I used this stuff in the past called mold builder and it's basically a jar of silicone that can be used to to make a brush on mold. It recommends that you do 10 coats but it's not bad on the wallet at about 30$ for a little container of it. You can do probably 3 molds maybe more with just one container.

Looks really good! been taking notes in word to print for later reference, thanks for the help!

Awesome video and great straightforward explanations!

That was awesome!!! I learned so much in this video! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

Thank you, adding this to Favorites and then the slush cast video upcoming

Hi Bill, love this video so much you have inspired me to have a go. Just had a load of Smooth On products delivered but I'm wondering did you use any mould release on your blank?

i love this, thank you so much. soooooo many people make super overly complicated tutorials on how to do this and plus they never link anything they use. so this is a really big life saver for me and the mandalorian costume i am making lol

great video Bill!

Just the video I was waiting for. Time to make a mold of my Helmet.

You're gonna love this. So I started my first silicone mold using this video as a guide two days ago. I bought all the items you recommended, double of everything. I'm on the part where you add the plasti paste and I didn't realized this but the company I bought from on amazon gave me one kit of plasti paste and another of Smooth- Sil 940 which happen to have identical boxes. I did not order Sil 940. So with great eagerness and vigor I removed the clay border and trimmed the rebound 25, and started mixing what i thought was plasti paste...Two layers later... I was confused because the paste didn't look anything like the video so looked at the box to see what I did wrong and to my horror "Platinum Silicone Rubber Compound" caught my eye. Im waiting for it to dry, wondering what to do next. Laugh out Loud. Love the video by the way.

This is a very interesting way to do brush on moulds... I wonder if this process would work on models such as a full characters with a base or designs where there is space between legs.

Hello Bill. Big fan and I really enjoy all the work you guys do over there. I was curious if rebound 25 can be used for making a mold of possibly a statue or model and not just masks or helmets? I hope to hear from you and thank you and everyone at Punished Props for the great content.

your videos are awesome, and i am studying mold making for my spiderman faceshell.

This series of video's is very informative! Now I am wondering, could you make your jacket from plaster?

Another good video such as always!

wow I'm glad I found your Channel!! can you please tell me if the Rebound 25 can or should be degas on the Vaccum chamber? Thank You!

I watched your entire series on casting and mold making and actually own your foamsmith books. My question is what would you make your helmet out of before you make a mold of it. I know in prior video you said you wouldn’t use Eva foam so was wondering what instead should I make a helmet out of if I want to make a mold of it.

Also for beginners you can and I like to add some color to different layers to make sure each layer is completely covered

I had no idea I wanted to know how to do this... And just in time to be ready for Halloween!

this video is helping me with my faceshell

Perfect! I want to try molding and casting a shield I made. Is this plus the upcoming slush casting video the technique you'd recommend for a shield (seems similar to a mask only a bit larger). Also, if I want to make a mold out of something made with foam, is there anything special I need to do with the foam master first?

How do you keep a concave mold like that mask from collapsing in on itself when slush casting?

Awesome work as always, Bill. I am really getting into making my own props, but I was hoping you might have some advice. Do you have a tutorial video that explains how you make your blueprints? I've been using other peoples -- like yours from the Foamsmith book -- but I'd really like to make my own. There are some weapons that I'd like to make that I can't find free/accessible 'prints for. If you don't have a video, yet, could you give some advice to an amateur propsmith? Thanks man, all the best.

Hi Bill! I want to cast a skateboard and was wondering what material would work best for this?

So the outside jacket mold is more for support when you’re doing the actual casting is that correct?

also if you have no scrap silicone what can you use for registration keys?

Could you use Free Form Air Epoxy for the jacket instead of plasti paste?

I would love to have these products in my country.

Can you use normal silicone to coat the inside of a 2 part mold made from 2 Styrofoam blocks?

I made a mold for swish casting. I tried two test pieces, but the plastic always pools to the center of the mask, masking the nose and brow protrusion thicker than the rest of the mask. I swish until the liquid was barely moving and it still happened. How do I keep that from happening?

Hey so I've got an iron man helmet is the trial size of plasti paste you used enough for that or should I switch to a gallon

I want to make a mold of a pepakura bondo LOCUS helmet from halo 4, What are your thoughts on which technique I should use.

I used the Rebound 25 Silicone in my first attempt. The product worked great but I was kinda sloppy in my application so I purchased another round to do a second attempt. However, I got the wrong product in the mail. I got OOMOO 30 Tin-Cure Silicone Rubber. The instructions look same but I am going to hold out for the correct Rebound 25. However, since I have this 30 tin-cure do you have any project ideas or suggestions for how to use this other product? Thanks so much!

When you used plasti-paste for your jacket mould, could you substitute that for some kind of plaster?

I need some help with a large project I am doing for GenCon. Basically I need fake metal spikes of varying sizes, and I need them to be rubbery, so there is no chance in hurting people, but able to hold their form and look REAL.

If I wanted to make a mold out of a helmet but the visor of the helmet is already cut out, should I add try to fill in the visor piece with something so there’s not a hole? Or am I screwed? 😔

Hello. I really enjoyed this tutorial to create a mask ichigo anime bleach. Could you share the file PDO this mask ?

Hey bill did that trial size rebound 25 cover that dragon preist mask?

Could you have done this as a matrix mold? When would you use a matrix mold vs a brush on mold?

Hi Bill. Great tutorial... Look, I am about to receive a helmet ABS kit and I would like to recast it and play around with some different finishes, but using vacuum form method. Is there any technique of recasting and keep the original size of the mold after vacuum it? Thx a lot!

@douglas71322

7 жыл бұрын

Thx a lot for the reply. But if I vacuum form over this new hydrocal bulk, the final size will be bigger than the original bulk, right? (due to the 2mm polystyrene used on the vacuum). That's what I would like to avoid. That's the real trick I cannot figure out !!! :-)

Hi Bill, Do you recommend using a vacuum chamber for Rebound 25? And second question related to your upcoming slush casting video: Have you tried making props using the FOAM-IT series, VS Urethane? I would be curious to hear or maybe watch a video on that! I am making a very large creature mask and worried about the urethane weight.

How could yo control de thickness of the walls?, I have to do like a tablet prototype(with walls, not completely solid), and I'm looking on how to do it, seems to me this can work. It is possible to make another inner mold with a 3 millimeters inner offset and use it like a restrictor and form the wall to a certain thickness?......help me please xD....very good tutorial

How large of a mold have you made? I'm interested in making a B-9 replica and I was thinking about using a method similar to this for the mold. I read that I should make a plug out of foam and wood, then gel coat it and fiberglass it. You used silicone which seamed to give a better result, or very similar. I wanted my mold to produce a life size replica, so... it would be really, really big. Any suggestions?

Is there a dye that I can get from Walmart to color the silicone ?

What is that white block that you used to mold on. I assume it is a nonstick smooth surface of some kind?

how do you clean the silicone off the brush ??

Nice job thank you ! Little question : If the piece i've to duplicate has a cylinder shape (10cm diamètre, 30cm long), should i cut the cast along the lenght or would i be able to remove the cast like a sock by returning it without breaking it?

Did you use a release agent on your mask before spreading silicone on it??

You cant make a mold without a model in it. If you want to make that helmet then do research on how people make them. Usually with different materials then you mold it and cast it in the material you actually want.
