  • This mold making tutorial video shows how a sculpted reproduction of a rhinoceros torso was made for an African safari preservation exhibit at a museum. A mold of a taxidermy rhino mount was made using Rebound™ 25 silicone rubber and gypsum polymerized with Forton™ VF-812 was cast to make the final piece.

    Be nice if you could put all the non vacuum silicones into a separate page on the website or a link to all the non vacuum silicones 🙂

      Thank you for this idea @lasarith2

    Darn! I thought this was going to be a live model.

      That might not go so well!

    How many times can you use that mold before it starts to deteriorate?

      J. Dana Clark I’d guess 10-50 🤔

      lasarith2 that's actually pretty good given the level of detail.

      It would also depend on the type of material being cast. A polyester resin would be much more chemically abrasive than plaster, for example. Here's an FAQ which may help - www.smooth-on.com/support/faq/183/

      I wondered why gypsum. Figured too heavy.

    What were you using to make the mother mold? Fiberglass and what?

      ExpoxAmite laminating epoxy resin.

    Would that be good/strong enough for archery target?

      Many of our dense foams are used for targets: th-cam.com/video/FabxMjtbeBY/w-d-xo.html

    How many of the silicone did you use. I want to mold a life size boba Fett bust, but I don’t know if the small bottle is enough. Could someone please help me.

    Was that originally a real skin?!

    • @smoothon
      @smoothon  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It was a scan of a rhino which was carved on a robotic CNC machine. The carved foam was then coated in clay and details were sculpted to reproduce the rhino's skin texture.

    Make more, put in motors and gears, let those people hunt the silicon ones so future generations will have the chance too see the real ones.

      Pushyhog they probably used in Rebound alone (what they charge us) about £4000-6000 unknown of fibreglass but I’d say it’s closer to £12000

    they dont use masks? aren't these materials toxic?🤔

      Rebound platinum silicone does not require a respirator. The polyester resin they used for the support shell does, this is shown in the video.
