I can’t thank you enough. Such a simple method, yet I had not thought about it earlier! Great video. It’s awesome that you have started to talk in your videos because it really makes the video a whole lot better. Great job once again buddy!
The plaster thickens faster if you mix it. Try to measure the water beforehand (make a few test and see how much water does your plaster need) and don't mix at all. Just add the water and let it hidrate for 2-3 minutes. It will be silky smooth and won't thicken as you speak.
Here is a good video on the proper way to mix plaster of Paris: th-cam.com/video/FaWKjzIp7d0/w-d-xo.html The trick to plaster is you do not add water to the plaster, you very slowly add plaster to the water, let the plaster sinking to the bottom and absorb as much water as it can take, DO NOT STIR UNTIL ALL THE PLASTER IS IN THE WATER (the plaster will not begin setting up until you start stirring it. Stir very slowly, do not introduce air bubbles. This is the proper way to mix plaster of Paris, if you mix slowly and do it this way you will have at least 2-5 minutes before it begins to harden.
couldn't you also just get a smooth ball and paper mache (like in this vid) around. When dry cut around the outer paper layer and you'd get a more symmetrical shaped hemi.
I buy cheap ball pit balls! Sometimes I just fill them with stars and a flash charge to break the mortor! Then 5 layers of paper masha over the ball with pva glue! I have recently used Xmas balls that come as a craft idea for kids to decorate! Then paper over the top! The ball pit balls are so light and thin no plastic would make it back to the ground!
Thanks. I would not have though to make a plaster cast as a negative, I would only have thought of positive molds, but the negative like this should be faster if you want to make several at a time. However, I would probably use a rubber ball or the like to cast from, for easier removal than a glass ornament. I thought you were going to break the glass to remove it.
I use Xmas balls! You can get some that come in 2 pieces! So your kids can paint inside and then you glue together and hang on the tree! But i like this! Nice video mate! Have you made dragon eggs with antimony trioxide? I didnt know you could either
How about put plaster all around a ornament after 24 hours drill a tiny hole into it near the middle to break the ornament then cut all around the center to make 2 halves and throw away the ornament
Mark Ahman Fill each half with your preferred stars and break charge. Then, Cover one of the two filled half with thin household paper(I split the paper, it’s thinner). Now that one half is covered lift it and carefully place it on the other half. Press the two halves together and seal them together with masking tape(preferrably gummed tape)
@@samuelericsson2143 yea, I know that that is how it works for thicker shells, but I wonder if it is the same for such thin hemispheres, that he has. I tried doing that with really thin plastic hemispheres once, and I for the life of me couldn't get them together well enough to even tape them
Mark Ahman I think you’re overpacking them in that case, or you are making yours so thin that they’re flexible. I make thinner ball shell casings than Make & Destroy but i get them together just fine. Don’t be afraid to put some major pressure on your ball shells while taping them together. I mold my ball shells from ping pong ball cut in half and a tennis ball cut in half. Good luck!
Yeah, I should know that but where I buy it (office supply store) they would probably give me no info on it cause they sell it just as a Kraft/Packing paper :)
In my own opinion, I think it would be much better to cut the paper into strips of 1.5 / 2 cm wide and put them on top of each other in opposite directions, forcing an asterisk (*) until the times that I think necessary, I say that way would be firmer, but each one not?

Your using a mortar to shape shells to launch from a mortar. :) As a matter of fact, I just thought: If you could make a pestle (perhaps out of wood as that would be easy to shape) having a radius just under the former, you could use that to compress the paper against the former as if you were actually using a mortar / pestle.
Yes! This is what I've wanted thank you man
hi

Make & Destroy I sure will!

I will take that in consideration in the future casting, thanks, I never thought of letting it hydrate the water before mixing.

This is a huge help!
Thanks for your help!
Already thinking about the 4th...
Glad it's helpful!
Love it man, will definitely be using this idea! Keep it up brother and peace!
Alternatively... Make with cement instead of plaster...for added strength when pressing.
Awesome 😍😘👍🌍 superb.... Thank you...
Thanks so much make more tutorials please
You should make a dome mold and clamp it down the the crater mold
That's what I was thinking.
couldn't you also just get a smooth ball and paper mache (like in this vid) around. When dry cut around the outer paper layer and you'd get a more symmetrical shaped hemi.
good idea

I think you finally got monetisation right? Im happy for you !good job man
Thanks mate, just the inspiration I needed.
Awesome video, can’t wait to see these in the sky
You're not going to wait much 😂
Nice bro
can u use mortar mix??????
Raise your voice volume.. i cant hear it
Please?

Sounds good! P. S.. That was plastic ornament
I used a chinese paper hemi to make my male and female molds, if you coat the hemi, ball or glass ornament with vaseline it wont stick ;)
Yes! Yes!

Напечатал шар, обернул стрейч пленкой, облепил бумагой, и на сушку, разрезал и готово.
I got an 13/14 inch tube made out of cardboard

Now how do you put them together once filled with stars

Thanks for the useful info.
But man your music sure is strange.
Where to buy plastic ball
Seriously?
One other question. What type of Kraft paper do you use. Ex: 30lb 40lb etc.
Yeah, I should know that but where I buy it (office supply store) they would probably give me no info on it cause they sell it just as a Kraft/Packing paper :)
@@MakeAndDestroyFireworks please try sock sensitive powder bomb
Plese try socksensitive powder bomb .....
No.
That's dumb.
You try!

You would finish with far too much paper at each pole. As shown, the method results in more paper around the equator but not so much more.
Can I use plaster o Paris?
Any plaster will work
@@MakeAndDestroyFireworks cool! man i love how fast your responses are
What kind of glue is it ?
Wood glue
PVA
Should've called video the longest most time consuming way to make a hemisphere mould. Just use any old round thing, you don't need plaster moulds.
WOW THANKS SO MUCH WHY ARE ALL YOUR VIDEOS YELLING
____ ___ destroy
Nice thanks, will there be a follow up video with filling it up and how to bind it up with visco?
Some 3'' shells coming soon!
Not sure about old mate but you will be better off with a spoilette! It is more reliablr

I thought of casting one pestle inside this mold. Haha, same thoughts I had the same idea for wood pestle for pressing.. Funny but awesome
Sand wall🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely, that's also how you sharpen ur knife if you don't have other options 😂
I have asked a question before that do you want 10 subscribe more
Really boring
