Hi, I’m Robert. If you want to make silicone rubber molds and resin castings this is the channel for you!

I have been a sculptor and mold maker for 40 years. My channel focuses on the skills you need to successfully mold and cast your stuff. Viewers of the channel submit their projects and I demonstrate the best way to make a mold and successfully cast whatever it is, from cartoon figurines to car parts. Anything goes as long as we can mold it in silicone rubber and cast it in resin.

If all this sounds good to you hit that subscribe button and join the fun! I look forward to hearing from you and seeing the projects you’re working on!

    I'd say your vibrating table is not moving at an appropriate frequency and far too much amplitude, and may in fact be causing bubbles. I'd try agitating that mold with the voice coil out of a woofer or a mid-range speaker, and I'd start around 120 hz.

    Bob, you clearly have a very personal talent. May I suggest that you explore working with larger formats? Try supports that are at least 3x3 feet, maybe canvas or cradled wood. When you experiment with larger scales, your art takes on an unexpected and profound dimension. This practice can further enhance your perspective and refine your skills, pushing your creative boundaries even more. Personally, I've found that my confidence in my art has significantly improved.

    I still don't get it: why does brushing work and shaking doesn't? I mean it's both surface coating... I'd guess theoretically a gelcoat would be the perfect solution? But how do you turn a resin into gelcoat with household items...?🤔

    You know what? Maybe you should be casting a ball, no airpockets, no edges, no problems. IMO, losing the base and reattaching it afterwards would’ve been a better solution than losing all the details and gluing the legs together.

    Very interesting! I’m surprised how simply the silicone mold is cut in half. I always figured it would be much more complicated and would need to somehow catch the exact outer most edges. I guess that’s a big advantage of using a mold that is bendable and can stretch some.

    I thought a soldering iron would work fine.... not. at. all. I've tried to cheap out 3 times now, despite how many times i've learned that lesson in life. Just get the damn thing. First I got an old Giles off of Ebay. It was defunct and the seller vanished so I was stuck with it. Then I got some cheap dental tool wax thing from China and the heating was crazy inconsistent and just basically didn't function at all. Now I got the solder iron and its way too hot and clunky, the sticky wax falls right off and I obliterate any vent I get near. Yeah I'm beyond frustrated with myself at this point. Let this be a lesson to others. The wax sprues are really delicate so you need a tool specifically designed to work with them; just get the Foredom.
