- In this video, Milo shows how you can make a silicone mold of a steering wheel to create an aftermarket part. Using a silicone mold allows you to make a unique, custom steering wheel.
#moldmaking #aftermarket #custom
Milo uses Mold Star™ 30 to create this 2 piece mold. Mold Star™ mold rubbers are easy to use platinum silicones which are mixed 1A:1B by volume (no weighing scale necessary). Mold Star™ silicones feature relatively low viscosities and vacuum degassing is not required for most applications. Mold Star™ 30 is a harder material, with a 30A Shore hardness.

the danger of this video is the craftsmanship is so incredibly high and attention to detail so thorough, it actually manages to make this look easy. The patience and skill this takes is next level. I've been making wheels and now sim wheels for a while and this makes my heart happy. well done !
Thank you so much for watching. We are glad you enjoyed it. Milo is a master at his craft!
A lot of prep work just to make the mold for the steering wheel, but required with great attention to details. Outstanding presentation. Somebody said in the comments, a nice Sunday afternoon project, he has no idea it requires days, not hours to perform this type of work.
Are you familiar with sarcasm?
A "How To" you can actually learn from ! Good video, good description, good camera work
Glad you liked it!
Amazing Job!! Loved the project! I never thought of doing something like that. Now it's on my list. Thank you!
This is awesome. I'm going to start making custom colored clear steering wheels for hot rods and custom cars
Awesome! I am restoring a 1957 coronet and this may be the answer to the steering wheel

The best video to watch and learn. Step by step.100 percent Educational
I was really stuck on how to approach a particular project. This video solved it for me, thank you!
Thank you for watching!
True craftsmanship, very satisfying to watch!
Thank you for watching!
Awesome video!
This is something I've always wanted to do. Absolutely amazing! Do you guys offer any in person classes?
Grateful for teaching
Wow great video!! Rock On!!
Love the content keep it up! Any chance you are going to do a dual color taillight? people have been waiting for it I'm one of them lol
Thanks alot
Awesome video -Thanks!
Thank you for watching!
Good job! Shoot please how using TASK 8😇
A new video....thanks!!!!
Great job on this one. I have learned a lot by watching your videos but I surely would have put the pour spout on the bottom of the steering wheel. There is less chance for it to be visible even after cleanup.
I suggest making a skull model.
A real looking one that could even be used in a lab or a school or a medical facility.
I'm sure you've seen the ones that actually come apart so you can see the inside of the skull where the brain goes. (In that case, the skull would have three pieces, jaw cranium and base)
If you were ambitious enough, you could reproduce an entire skeleton! :D
Thank you for considering this idea.
dude... i've had an acrylic wheel thats been cracked for 8+ years that i've always wanted to repair. This gives me so much hope. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for watching!
You are amazing
How cool!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us....:-}
Thank you for watching!

For the epoxy plug, you could have cut the container to height and hot glued it to the plywood and poured the epoxy in through a small hole at the top. That would eliminate the need to epoxy it to the plywood after it's cast and wait another 24 hours for that to cure.
amazing!
Thanks for watching, and don't forget to subscribe!
Cool
I love how just about ANY project - silicone mold making or not - ANY project around the house often begins with "first we need to cut up some plywood."
We use a lot of it around here.
Do you make carbon fiber parts?
Thank you

how much silicon was used to make the mold? wanting to replicate this process for my own wheel?
How many months did you spend making that mold?
Hi Milo, good to see you here again......is this for the jeep you are restoring?
For mk1 Cabrio...
Now someone should show this video to west coast customs. The guy had to do it three times.
Awesome!What does this cost to replicate?
💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 Thank you for uploading this video.
You're welcome 😊
I saw the arrow pointing towards a link that didn’t appear…
Awsome

Hi there ! Amazing work you’ve done !! Could you please tell me what quantity of sillicone have you used for this mould ? Thanks !!
It was around 3 Gallon-units of material.
Thank youu !!
What is the name of the material similar to the glink from which the mold is molded ??? Coffee color similar to plasticine ??? .....
Is that a MKV GTI steering wheel?
How about making electrical connectors for automotive wiring? The actual wire portion uses standard connections but many are set together in a larger connector.
This is a great idea! We will forward it to our video team.
Do you still have that molds?
Excellent video, thank you! Could you tell me how much silicone was needed per side? Looks to be a few gallons. I'm looking to do this but I can't believe the price of that silicone!!! Yikes.
Daniel, there are other ways to do this that would save some rubber. Can you send us a tech ticket? Our team can help you - www.smooth-on.com/support/ticket/add/agree/
Вы делаете готовые формы/матрици для отливки рулей, цена?

But is this safe to use? I feel like in an accident, sudden stop, times where the wheel locks up or gets forcibly turned, and other times where the wheel experiences stress, it seems this would break.
Why would it break? It's the same core that was originally there from the factory. It's like changing the door panel them claiming the door itself is unsafe
Lol, this was just a video on how to make the mold. ..to use to make the steering wheel. ...he will be using different materials to make the actual steering wheel and recycle the hub if I'm not mistaken. ..
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
i need someone to make me molds for steering wheels. do you have a number i live in riverside california?
Is there a product in Algeria or an agent

09:40 Is there no vacuum de-gassing of the silicone?
Mold Star 30 requires no degassing.
I recognize that wheel! I just put one on my '09 Rabbit ;)
Why did you have to use the fiber glass? Is it just because yo wanted to save the silicone that you would otherwise use when trying to completely fill the mold to the highest part?
Correct, creating this type of mold with the support shell saves on silicone used.
can i use plasticine with this moldstar 30? cant find any oil base clay....
As long as the clay is free from sulfur, then yes.
Where can I purchase the material for EU Bulgaria thanks
Thanks for watching Metodi Veselinov. You can find a full list of Smooth-On distributors here - www.smooth-on.com/distributors/
why did we do the fiberglass part?
To maintain the dimensions of the final casting.
gosh !
Am I the only one that thinks that was insanely labor intensive? I don't think I want anything that bad. Just saying. But GR8T Job. You RoCk! Thumbs up! (does that get me off the hook?)
Thanks for watching. It is labor intensive however Milo is a master at what he does and this is the process that it takes to make a lot of things that you or I interact with daily.
Hi ,do you sell mould?
Thanks for watching bluspirit81. We do not provide moldmaking services, but we do have a list of moldmakers on our website: www.smooth-on.com/moldmaker/
I like the white fiberglass better than ugly yellow.
Sa-rain wrap??
You wouldn't download a steering wheel
An after market wheel is safer i think. My opinion.
wow can you just make me a mold?
We do not make molds, but have a list of moldmakers who may be able to help you: www.smooth-on.com/moldmaker/
This is for people that are running a business for production. There are easier diy video to learn. I make carbon steering wheels from scratch at home with about 150$ material and they value for $800.00-$1200.00 all day long.
any chance i could get in touch with you, mate?
Glass cloth.. ehh.. mold walls.. errmm.. screw it Im just gonna pour a bunch of plaster on it!!!!
Кто нибудь переведите и выложите это видео пожалуйста))

Hello, thanks for watching! The video does have a transcript with it. Are you not able to watch with subtitles?
I feel all of this is unnecessary. A mold can be made so much easier
How could be?
@@Felipe-lp8tl .... through the power of...EEeee ...magination
the mold was custom the wheel was not
c mon this is not how to bicose not all steps are correctly shown how to do it
