If you apply ordinary baby powder to the mold interior, brush it around with a soft makeup brush, then blow off the excess before pouring the resin, you eliminate any surface bubbles, AND any missing pieces. The powder breaks the 'surface tension' that causes problems like this. Also, on small molds, it is a good idea to GENTLY squeeze the mold a bit to further release any trapped air. Lastly, use rubber bands to secure the mold halves, as this makes the squeezed the mold stay together! ;)
Your videos are great and I'm thankful and in love with all of the casting/mold products you make. They are incredible! The process is easy, they are cost effective with quick results. It's satisfying to be able to make a mold, cast with resin (using the 10 minute resin) and in a total of 30 minutes I have an exact replica of the original piece! And I can many as I want. Thanks again!
Tarra! Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoy using our products. I think the CC in this video is what TH-cam "hears" us saying, we didn't type it up ourselves.
@@AlumiliteCorporation I didn't even notice it was a public post. I rarely do reviews or any posting so I apologize. I edited the review :) making fun of UTubes closed captioning.
This is incredible! If it really works like that every time, this is the best stuff ever! Is there any way to create hollow casts? Perhaps by inserting a straw inside the mould while pouring the resin and leaving it there until the resin cures? Thank you.
Interesting video and a pretty decent tutorial, definitely looks like useful stuff. Couldn't help but notice that the arm you took the time to vent was missing, did the resin not sufficiently fill that part of the mould?
I have a wooden project with an odd-shaped insect hole. I'd like to fill the hole and use that for a mold. Once the mold is done I can cast some kind of clear resin to fill the hole. What products do you recommend?
Hello I am having trouble getting my mold not to leak. The thing i am molding is small. Could I cut balsa wood and make an air tight box and push the alumilite down and imbed the figure halfway into the putty, then create the second half of the mold as instructed? I think this would work much better in my case but what do you think?
What is the best way to fix a mold that has a thin bottom? I really love how my mold tuned out but the bottom is thin and I am afraid it will break when I use it.
Tom, the cured product is a flexible silicone mold that you can get multiple castings out of. The mold cannot be recycled into a new mold if that is what you are asking. Thank you.
AlumiliteCorporation That was the answer I was looking for thanks. I want to use the molds to make multiple copies of various subjects ( 1/35 soldiers).
tmont007 what you will say something derogatory on one of my other posts :-(, PLEEEASE DONT! Because as god is my witness ill strike back with grat vengance and furious anger! with a comment suggesting your comment was a bit lame!....IM SERIOUS

Is there any way to make shrinking molds with this?

Hey Mike! My local hobby store doesn't carry Alumilite White but they do have the Amazing Casting Resin.... is there any difference?
What is the best way to fix a mold that has a thin bottom? I really love how my mold tuned out but the bottom is thin and I am afraid it will break when I use it.
is it possible to use this to make a mold for pouring silicone?
Could probably use clay or a gentle tie to stop the resin from coming out. Good tutorial for figurines with this tutorial thank you!
Thanks for watching!
is there an Alumilite distributor in the UK?
What's the product name for the make mold ?
This is our Amazing Mold Putty to make the mold and Amazing Casting Resin for the end replica.
