Hey drama. I have been playing in mud for a couple yrs and always worried about making my own molds. Am going to take the leap now and just wanted to say thanks. While Gris is a master at concrete your videos make the regular guy feel it is possible. So wish me luck

Thank you Sharon! I think most of my videos show things where you could just pick up the materials and get something done on the same day without pulling your hair out too much! :D Yes, Gris is the man! Good luck with your molding! I'm sure everything will turn out great! :)

Great demo as always Drama...... You do stay busy!! Anxious to see your first cast.....

I wish I would have seen this about ten minutes ago when I did not put plastic between the latex and plaster bandages. I hope I can get it off! Lol

I've done it too! I hope yours works out ok! :)

Great video! Could you use a second layer of cling film between the two layers of plaster instead of using vasoline? Also do you think you could use water and make a frozen pine cone ice cube or would the plaster break? Thanks!

Yes, you can use anything for a barrier as long as it doesn't affect the latex. I used vaseline, but was careful not to let it touch the latex as this could affect the latex. I have casted ice from a latex mold and seemed ok: Casting A Skull In Ice: kzread.info/dash/bejne/o4iIvMdugZqtido.html

Thanks for the video just an quick question can I apply plaster directly to the rubber latex without cling sheet

You can obviously try that and find out why the cling film is used on an experiential level. There's a reason for using the cling film, otherwise it wouldn't be needed.

Good job. How many latex coats did you make? And What is name latex? Thanks.

There's around 15 layers of latex on this mold. I use Polycraft latex and you can buy it on Amazon: amzn.to/2CQAfym

Hey Drama 🙌 How long has your plaster bandage mother molds lasted? Like your gargoyle one? Just got my first plaster roll to apply over a latex mold... super excited and wondering how many times these can be used? Thank you!

Every plaster bandage mother mold I have ever made is still intact. They last for ages, as long as you look after them, although they're pretty sturdy. :)

Some people use thick latex, but I tend to apply my latex with thin coats, making sure to stipple in the first two coats and then brushing suucessive layers. Thin coats also dry quicker and I can get between 3-5 coats of latex on a model in a day. Here's a simple video on how I make my latex molds: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pJ6cqNZmc5zOZso.html
