Milo walks you through the steps in choosing the types of mold you can make for your project!
❤❤it😊😊
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.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for subscribing! We appreciate your support.
something about cavity pour molds are just soooo satisfying!
It is one of Milo's favorite types to make.
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.
Just show how it's done, Chester! 😸
Best wishes from Vermont 🍁 and have a terrific 2024!

@@smoothon I'm a proud subscriber - and I've been using your products for years.
I'm moving up from small items to larger works. When I'm finished restoring an 18-inch statue of Napoleon, you'll be hearing from me! 😸👍
Awesome!!
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.
Cheers from Argentina.

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?
So perfectly work. Thanks for your support and explication.
Thank you! Cheers!

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?
thanks

very nice🙂👏

Thanks for great video. I would like to know which mould has the longer life span. The block mould I would say.
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.
❤❤it 😊😊
Thank you. We hope it helped you!
Great video!!!!!! I have a question.
It is possible to make a figurine that is 2.5 inches tall, maybe with a soft wire inside to make it bendable?.
Hi there! That is absolutely possible. This is a good question for our tech support team, can you send them a ticket here? www.smooth-on.com/support/ticket/add/agree/ Thanks for watching!
@@smoothon Hi, thanks for your answer, I dont know what you mean for a ticket, I did click on the link but still not very clear to me. I will love to see a video about a silicone figurine with bendable wire inside.
Thanks again!!
@@smoothon Oh I just figure it out. Thank you

Hello! i have a question - what material for molding form should i use if i want to make an iron/metal mold sculpture? i dont think that silicone nor rubber will be useful in this case? thank you for the video!
Can you send us a tech ticket? Our team can help you - www.smooth-on.com/support/ticket/add/agree/
You have to use investment casting material (ceramic shell, sand...foundry supply)for anything that is hotter than 560F. (aluminum, bronze, iron....)
can i pour SMOOTH ON 66D resin in outside when in cold weather conditions... will it cure ?
Most likely not. You should use 66D at 73F/23C
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?
If that technique works for you, that's awesome! We see no reason this technique couldn't be used.
was it a usa gallon on the mold star 30. and the mold size. please.
It was about a gallon of material.
👌👏
Thank you so much. We are glad you enjoyed it!
