    Hi Lauren thanks for giving us some tricks, but three tings you did wrong, first cutting shape of model in rubber no necessary and adding extra shit is also no necessary, then you don't need adding rubber between the legs, also never remove yellow stickers on both sides of the mold, that stickers not melting like blue ones, designed to not stick to volcanizer, ( Heating press ) by the way I have 52 years jewellery experience😊👍

    Thank you for this video. It's very knowledgeable. I'm learning to be a mold maker and I saw in another video from Rio Grande mold videos that they put a little dawn dish soap on the aluminum sheets and spread it so the mold can come off right away. Hope that helps you to not burn yourself so much.

    ....you murdered my interest in what you are doing....the Obama thing is extremely distasteful. Look around. American culture is Imploding and our people are being exploited. How? You ask... 1.real food is no longer available for normal people. 2. Women- of which you are- are being reduced in value and personage. Men now wear costumes and claim to be just like you. If you have to pretend, it isn't real. 3. Children, who are unable to understand human sexuality- are being indoctrinated by schools, to such an extent that we face a population implosion in a few more years. Children should be protected from wierdness, not mutilated by wierd adults. 4. Freedom of Speech has been eroded to such a degree, that soon things like this posting I make- which is opinion - will become illegal. Opinion....illeagal... 5. Democrates INSIST on ENDLESS WAR...when was the last time we were not in a war somewhere? 6. Boarder crisis. Democrats Fault. ....so no, I am not going to be watching your channel.

    • @laurenseldenmakingthings7045
      @laurenseldenmakingthings7045 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have left some molds closed but they tend to shift more when you inject wax. You really want large keys and a jagged surface so the mold has teeth to grab onto when you put it together.

      @pcka12 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@laurenseldenmakingthings7045 Professor in France means Teacher. In the UK, the title is derived from the Roman idea of a heirachy of academics usually found in a lecture theatre & presided over by 'The Professor' who held 'the chair' in his subject; the more junior academics being Readers then Lecturers. My Dad eventually 'held a chair', I have only ever been a teacher or lecturer; So I suppose your equivalent might be 'lecturer' or 'senior lecturer'. The differences are interesting.

    Hi there! This video has a lot of good information in it, and I knew none of it before, thanks. I wonder though, why do you continue to cut and separate the two mold halves from each other -- it seems that if you stopped after you got past where the piece was and left the rest intact you would simplify alignment later. IT would also be great to see you use the mold and make a piece with it.

    • @laurenseldenmakingthings7045
      @laurenseldenmakingthings7045 ปีที่แล้ว

      As I mentioned, my cutting in this video is rough😂. I’d suggest looking up cutting rubber mold videos that are out there. I’ve left some together (you can); I feel like I mess up the pressure when holding it to inject wax. Cutting keys is the important part. I have another video with using the wax injector.
