    idk how many more videos I'll be watching aside from this one but regardless I am subscribing to the channel simply for the great display and demonstrations to the different approaches to making molds PLUS the reasons to make such molds. I feel so well informed and it really helped me decide on what method to use. Thanks again.

    This is a clear and to-the-point tutorial. I'm really tired of goofy tutorials which think viewers need hipster music, Kubrick-style editing tricks, and lots of annoying jokes.

    Maybe the best overview on silicone rubber mold making I watched so far, spoken so clearly,. That's highly appreciated for non-native english speakers as me. Outstanding work !
    I've got some Smooth-On products and they are great, the only downside is the cost and availability in my country.

    This has helped me so much. Im just starting out with moulding. One thing i dont get is how to get a model out of the mould if there are large gaps for instance a figure with the hand on hip. How do you release the figure if the solicone is trapping it?

    If i have old molds I don't use, could I chop them up and use it as a filler in a block mold or would that decrease the integrity of the mold?

    • @smoothon
      @smoothon  27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The best answer is that it will depend. There are a number of different factors that can cause the mold to last a long time. The benefit of the cavity pour though is that you can easily make new molds if you need too.

      Most likely not. You should use 66D at 73F/23C

  • @np4136
    @np4136 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I have used plastic wrap between the clay and Free Form Air to minimize clean up. It works very well, although it may leave wrinkles inside the cured shell depending on how smooth you can lay it down. Is there any reason why you wouldn't recommend doing this?

    • @smoothon
      @smoothon  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If that technique works for you, that's awesome! We see no reason this technique couldn't be used.
