      usernamedkjah i figured that's what the person was looking for. Im not sure though it was from last year.
      what kind of mould would this be in the thumbnail? it would have to be 2 pieces no?

    • @sumguy52
      @sumguy52 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The models in the thumbnail would require multiple part moulds. They would also need to be taken apart in some cases as the shapes and undercuts are too complicated to be moulded as one piece.

    Jason here... The other sculptures were all cast in multiple parts, some of these had 22 parts like the Troll Hunter, which is crazy. Now that I have learned some things, I could have made half the molds but yeah, undercuts will sometimes dictate how many pieces you need to mold separately. This tutorial is really for beginning molds, you will have to do more complex mold making for more complex things. Stay tuned, I'm doing a huge monster build with complete mold making tutorials...Stay tuned!

    You can do a two piece mold with silicone putty too, although it's a bit harder. I am going to do that in a future video, but this is the most basic mold making. In the meantime, search youtube for "Amazing Mold Putty - 2 piece mold", that basically shows you how.

    Nice clear tutorial ! One question I have : I need to make a mold from a highly detailed carved varnished wood face. Will the silicone putty you use damage the wood surface in any way ??? If so, is there a product that would protect the wood surface during the molding process ??? Thanking you in advance !

    • @nabuk3
      @nabuk3 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, silicone putties and RTV products can somewhat damage or soak into wood or other porous subjects. To avoid this one can seal the wood with any number of coatings (varnish, polyurethane, etc). There are a number of spray and liquid "release agents" that help seal porous subjects and facilitate mold release. It should also be mentioned that two-part, pourable silicones are often more suitable for complex molds (tho a two or 3 part mold might be needed), and are available from companies like Smooth On, Silicones Inc, and GT products.

  • @iguanian
    @iguanian 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good intro to mold making. :) Note: you can use a lot less mold-making material for the mold. A 1/4" is fine, especially if you are casting resin or something pourable into the mold.
    One tip - smooth out the putty before you press the original item in - I roll it in my hands or on the table. This makes a blemish free mold.
    Mr. Babler is not kidding about the safety precautions when using resins. It is nasty stuff and sticks tenaciously to *everything*, even before it is mixed and cured.

    I'd really like the mold a plastic naginata-blade, but I don't have a maker-space nearby, nor do I have $300+ (or square footage) to buy/store my own vacuum chamber. Could you use this putty to make the 1st part of the mold, then press more putty against it for the second part?

    Hey, i have somewhat of a similar question. I've got these baroque-style plaster castings that are used to decorate the brackets of bookshelves. I got two from an antique store, but i'd like to reproduce them. I've already obtained fine grade plaster, but i'm not sure how and what i should make the mold with. Is this methode you've shown usable for my situation as well? The dimensions are roughly 8 x 6 x4 (height - width - dept).

What would e the best way get it out safely without damaging the mold or the figure? I'm sure the answer would run along the lines of "cut the mold into sections to get it out, then carefully secure it before filling' buuut i dont think that's everything to it...

  • @nabuk3
    @nabuk3 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    One important clarification. The demonstrator says the "fumes are not bad." They ARE bad. They are quite toxic, and known to cause cancer in lab animals. Even with "ventilation" one can inhale dangerous amounts of toxic gases, so do the casting outside if possible, or use lots of ventilation and a resporator. Moreover, both parts of the liquid resin are toxic, and anything that comes into contact with them should be kept away from all food or surfaces used for food prep. Likewise, if it contacts bear skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water ASAP. By the way, for anyone who works with those sprayers that dispense urethane foam as packing material, void fillers, or insullation. Those too give off toxic fumes. Safety first!

    • @nabuk3
      @nabuk3 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      To make sure no one misunderstands, the fumes I was referring to involve the resin casting, not the silicone putty. However, the putty has potentially dangerous chemicals (before it cures) that can absorb into skin, which is why it is important to wear protective gloves while mixing the putty.
