Amaaaazing!
i love this so much. Would this process work for something concave and thin ( 1/4 inch) like a helmet visor? I want to resin cast a sci-fi style visor from a 3d print.
Very good process
How did you not get any bubbles in the casting? Did you skip the step where you removed them with heat before pouring?
Awesome video, thanks for sharing :)
This tutorial is so well done and professional
Thank you for the tutorial! Will the silicone withstand very hot temperatures like melted glass or melted sugar?
I am looking for this video thank you ❤
I genuinely hate it when i try to find information about some specific crafting technics like what foam do they use for props molding, what mix do they use for electroplating, what resin is being used for this or that and you always find youtube video of american companies (which of course only sell in the US) maskerading ads as tutorials on how to use that specific stupid tradmarked name product that at the end of the day you still don't what kind of generic alternative you should look for if you don't live in the US and/or don't want to spend 50$ in shiping to get it imported. "Oh you want to smooth those printing lines on your 3d print? Just use turbosmoothmaxiflex3000™ for only 50$ 1oz + shiping! That or just get a 200ml pot of epoxy for 10€ at your local hardware store...."
👏
Very nicely done and helpful
subbed cuz you said "hyperspeed", and you're a smooth-on channel.
Victoria, I need to make one small part, not much more than about an inch long, to replace a missing part in a plastic model kit. Seems like it would be awfully expensive for such a small part to purchase all those materials. Would there be any better way to do it?
I LOVE this technique you used to make a cold casting. I've never seen it done like this before and the finished head looks really great. I have a question to ask. What do you mean by "registration" in relation to molding? I did hear another person use the same word about lining up 2 halves of a silicone mold, is that what it refers to? Thank you very much for this great video tutorial. Cheers from Amanda in Melbourne, Australia
You are correct. Registration refers to the 2 halves of the mold lining up correctly.
This is great. Thanks for this. I plan on making a silicone mold out of a 3D print which I then want to use for lost wax metal casting.
Go for it!
You can fill the mold with water and measure that to find the volume also
I have that same exact glass bear!!!!
We must have the same exceptional taste in glass bears! 😉
Thank you ! Looks great
Glad you like it!
Best tutorial on the subject I've watched. I actually feel confident about trying this thanks to your explanation and demonstration.
Great to hear!
Like the other comment, I thought this was fantastic. You were clear, concise and straightforward, and took the time to explain every step. Thank you so very much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
خیلی عالی. شما واقعا یک هنرمند هستید. ❤
Thank you so much can any mold release spray be used?
Are you use air dry clay
No this is oil based clay and will not dry.
Excellent!!! Great tutorial, too easy to follow! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍👍👍 helpful 😃
You're very welcome!
really impressed
Thank you so much!
I’m actually half way through attempting this. First half of the mould I did last night and is currently setting 😊.
Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial.❤️❤️❤️
You’re welcome 😊
are you millonaire ????
Who else is here after watching moriah Elizabeth?
A silicone two part mold like this is great for casting foam squishies as well! I like to use FlexFoam iT! III and 6 by Smooth-On. Casting foam can be a little tricky though so I recommend watching a few foam casting videos for tips and tricks.
Great Video ! Good work there!
Thank you very much!
this helped me so much THANK YOU
You're so welcome!
Just got here after lengthy. And complicated other videos. Thank you!
You're welcome!
You Forgot the MOST IMPORTANT DETAIL OF IT ALL!!! You didn’t show us or tell us that you Must have an opening somewhere in order to pour the resin in.
In this scenario, the object has a flat bottom so you can pour into that. But yes you are correct, if you're model does not have a flat bottom, you must construct a pour spout into the mold.
Stop making fun of the poor girl, she is doing a fantastic job and we don't need sexist bigots like you ruining her youtube channel!!
So helpful.
Can you use vasoline as a release agent to release both halves?
Hello! I've been crafting silicone molds for my customers and noticed varying behaviors in the same brand of siliconeI use platinum based silicon. While previous curing times difered-ranging from 24 hours to as little as 3 hours-they never affected the resin outcome until now. Recently, when the silicone cured within 3 hours and I poured resin into it, the silicon lost its shine upon removal of resin from the mold. This unexpected issue has me deeply concerned. Any guidance you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
There are a few things that could be going on there. I recommend calling the manufacturer of your materials. If it's Smooth-On, they have amazing technical support.
I Appreciate Your Time And Effort In Teaching Me How To Do This Thank You
Thank You For Teaching Me How To Make A Mould To Do Casting With
thanks great idea
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have a small nativity that I bought at the dollar store, it’s surprisingly well detailed. I’ve tried so hard to make a mold of this, but because of the lantern and the staff, I couldn’t make it work this two-part mold, is a godsend, and so are you❤️
Is there a way to do this with a silicone interior to make prop gummie bears?
Yes! You can cast silicone, you just need to use a release agent like Ease Release 200. OR, you can use Smooth-On's Compat 45, a urethane rubber, to make your mold. Usually you can not cast silicone into a urethane rubber but Compat 45 is formulated to work with most silicones. Then you can bypass using the release agent.
What kind of clay? Brand? Where to get?
Any sulfur free clay will work. But I like to use Sculptex Medium or soft. It can be bought from Reynolds Advanced Materials.
Good working
Thanks for the video, found it really helpful! Have you ever tried a mechanical way to mix the putty? I'd like to use this for a large project but the hand mixing is making it unworkable I think. I'm thinking maybe an old standing baking mixer with a dough paddle? would love any ideas you have!
Thank you for explaining this so well! This helped me a ton!
Nice job
Brilliantly done. Thankyou...
Thank you ☺
НАМНОГО ПРОЩЕ НЕ ОБЛЕПЛИВАТЬ ВРУЧНУЮ МОДЕЛЬ, А ЗАЛИТЬ РАСТОПЛЕННЫМ ПЛАСТИЛИНОМ ИЛИ ЛЮБЫМ ВОСКОМ ДО НУЖНОГО УРОВНЯ РАЗДЕЛА, А СВЕРХУ НАЛИТЬ СИЛИКОН, НУ А ПОСЛЕ ЗАСТЫВАНИЯ - ПОВТОРИТЬ ТЕ ЖЕ ДЕЙСТВИЯ С ОБРАТНОЙ СТОРОНОЙ МОДЕЛИ
Yes that is another good technique. You can also do that technique with alginate. I was just working with materials I already had.
Thanks for sharing ❤
Wow looks easy! Great instructions!
So with resin dipped roses do I let the rose sit in the drying crystals and then try to brush or do I just brush it when it’s fresh?
