How to Make a Mold (CHEAP)

This is probably a good practice material. I would have wasted a lot of money if i started learning epoxy molding with a decent quality (expensive) resin. Its not fun to throw away $30 of material because you're not good at mixing add-ins yet.

can we cast brass ring if we make silicon mould like this??

I like the way you say air bubbles boy

a water pick is a good tool for demolding stubborn stuck areas

Excellent explained, thanks a lot!

I have some figures made with miniature plaster, with various details, with this method could I be able to make replicas of the original?

loosy technique !

I don't think silicone caulking cheaper than silicone anymore

I remember doing this in college but using slightly different materials. Murphies oil soap being one. This looks far more complex.
My 3D Art class was in a barn and the guy who taught it was an old hippie who smoked cigarettes during class! Ahh the 1990’s.

Which is the material you sculpted the torso in?

20$ for a mold and calling cheap lol

They put on for their what?

Great video. However, I'm sure you lose most folk when you say the word CAULK.
It is "Kawk" as in cork.
It is not "culk".
I hope this helps.

haaaha gross!!!! you touched the sculptures butt!!!!! (im 7)

Man! This video is so gay. I like it. ;)

Thank you,this was very helpful.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Very useful video.. Thank you. 🙏

For your first layer, I'd recommend a technique from oil painting "fat over thin", so adding a solvent to reduce the viscosity of the silicone. This allows for a thinner initial layer. It will also dry faster due to the solvent content, that will evaporative quickly. And as long as subsequent layers have less solvent added, your risk of the inner layers drying lower will be greatly diminished

can i make a mold of a mold? i just finished making my mold but i need to make another copy of it cause the og one is ruined

Super👌🏻

Do you have to use a special releasing agent on oil based modeling clay before applying the silicone? If not, am I able to reuse the clay after for another sculpture?

Please show youre making molting...not youre face..

Ill get working on the bust right away

A few drops of food coloring will make your silicone cure faster

Super and thank you bro

Hi do you have Instagram account

wow this look painfull long

This is the most professional tutorial! Truly for artists!! Thank you🙌

Too much hard work for me

What an amazing video I’ve been wanting to do molding for like genuinely like 5-10 years but it’s always been financially and feasible for me to kinda play around with

Has anyone tried to count how many times it can be used such a mold? I would like to make some pieces of decorative brick for myself, not thicker than 2 cm. Can special RTV silicone for molds be the cheaper option for multiple use?

Hi! Can I use this method for a small missing part of a plaster (on wood) picture frame? Hope it will not take off the other part of the frame by sticking to it 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ve seen one guy use cornflower in the silicone for extra suport but u have to work faster as it sets the silicone faster

Hardly anyone’s questions have been answered. The guy should work a little harder for his commissions.

½ hour per day?
Perfect, about the length my attention span

Love this!

So helpful..

Thank you😊🙏

Dubious of the soapy water. I use denatured alcohol. Keeps the silicone from stcking and completely evaporates between layers.

Another favorable thing to do is use more than one release agent. I use Minwax mixed with mineral spirits.

can you make a sculpture of my Step Son who passed away?

Is silicone vapour toxic?

Wow - such great details! Now I know why molds are so expensive to buy! Thank you for this presentation, I'm pondering starting this craft in near future :)

I watched this whole video and still don't understand what he did. Too many steps.

Can you use concrete to fill a mold?

Can you use this mold for concrete?
