- I show you how to make molds for your miniatures or scale models using hot glue, just like you would with blue stuff, oyumaru or rapid mold. I use this technique for my nurgle models and terrain.

My friend Lyla proved me wrong, you can use a hot glue gun, go watch that th-cam.com/video/lGyWhWPfmlo/w-d-xo.html
My friend Bill @berserkerworks sculpted the cute orc totems in the video I'm molding
THANKS AGAIN DAD
Oh, Lyla Mev. She's great. I'm more into sculpting, but I'm definitely going to try this trick out, it sounds a lot easier than pouring silicone.
I love when you charge up and post a cluster of videos in rapid succession
How else are you supposed to get those combo points up? 😃
I appreciate the excessive Miniac Merch product placements
this is my only item of clothing without holes
A yet greater honor?
@@Miscast Well, what are you doing? Put a whole in the darn thing already. It's feeling left out.
@@jekster @miniac literally told me no
@@Miscast not yet
The other nice thing about this is that if your mold fails or if you don't want it any more, you should be able to melt it down and make a new mold.
Madman! I'm loving these casting projects- good fortune to you and all of your cats and rocks.
hey there turns out you CAN actually do molds straight from the hot glue gun as long as you lubricate the model with oil of some kind, after watching this video over 50 times, I was filled with enough inspiration from @miscast to risk losing my sculpt and it somehow ended up working!
Time to cast it in plaster now buh byeeeeee
When Trent gets busy and makes several videos, we get lucky 😙
as a brazilian that had a hard time trying to find green stuff and other specialized materials where i live, i thank you. I thank you with all my heart
Haha, it's been many years since I lived in Australia, but that Spotlight comment had me right back there 🤣 Also, brilliant idea thanks for making the video!
Cool! Also, if you want to prevent bubbles in the surfice of your plaster cast, like the tiny ones you see in the final example, apply some of the plaster mix with a brush inside the mold before pooring in the bunch.
Ima be real with ya Trent your nurgle diaries series finally got me into kitbashing and old imperial guard army into pox walkers. It’s been super Fun. Anyways what I’m trying to say is thank you man❤️
that's really awesome to hear!
Most of my figures lost weapons during a house fire. I recently got some back from the storage locker and wanted to make Mold of whatever weapons or accessories survived. I wasn’t in the mood of waiting for resin. What a godsend this video was!
Great work Trent always love what your making 👍
I just wanna say I appreciate how you got straight to answering the question in this video. Many other youtubers would've padded it out with a 5 minute recap of the question, as if we hadn't gotten it from the title. Great stuff
I've seen several videos on using hot glue for molds (I work in resin) but have NEVER seen anyone simply heat up the glue sticks in boiling water. THIS, good sir, was simply brilliant!!!!
starts with the answer> gives great step by step guide> don't talk rubbish to extend watch time looks like a perfect how to/info video to me. thanks.
Yay more content, keep it coming and I will keep soaking it all up =)
These are truly good
Trent, you’re spoiling me with all these uploads
Hot glue is one of my favorites. And now, I need to try molding it with hot water.
Thank you! You just saved me a fortune!
Thank you for this lovely little video . . . Now if I could only find a TEC 850-12 (they've been discontinued - but the -15 I think is still available) good high and fast heat. Even used, would gladly pay "rehoming" fee to give it a good new home.
Lots of good tips to start me on my new adventure in injection molding 💕
Found some 10 year old gluesticks from a storage box and It actually works. Thanks for the video.
I'm so thankful for this video!!! You helped me save my money.🤗🤗
Brilliant video, thank you x
Beauty!
Dude omg man, right from the beginning i was cursing words so bad from wtf amazement of 'how did i not figure this out/ i knew there had to be a hot glue method out there that works!' Basically my curse words before commenting here were full of good intentions, lol Thank you beyond much for the detailing of it and explaining the differences in temp, way to do it, etc, AND doing it right from the glue gun because I dodged a bullet seeing this right before I literally was about to do it, so whew! Good wishes to your channel. 🥂to Art!
This really made my day
Man I'm gonna try this right now
This is suuuper helpful, thanks man, i really appreciate it!
Super clever
Can we please get some more terrain building
This is great! I'm 100% using this on my next project.
Also... now I just REALLY want to see your take on some Lord of the Rings stuff, it's THE BEST GAME!
Yes great idea!!!
Very cool
That´s Genius!!! Thanks for the tip!!
This is fecking genius!!!!! Thank you!
Dude, nice vid and tips. Thank you.
coooool! ive got my own putty i make myself from learning esters!!! ehehehhe
Better yet, I'll just get you to make me the molds haha genius idea.
Can you use hot glue as the filler for a mold instead of epoxy? I thought that's what this video was going to be about lol.
This is genius
Seriously Trent, what’s up with the BDSM cat
haha I use specifically 'high temp' glue sticks! lol
Nice tip :)
What's the powder you're using
Looks like I'm off to spotlight and the Reject shop soon
Do you live in an abandoned warehouse or factory, where you can do this without worrying about ruining all you surroundings?
Ah, the memories of spending every day on the mwg forums as a youngin'.
Ok cool
Great idea! I might try this someday. But what I really like to now is this: what poder are you mixing for making the mold? That is plaster right? What product are you using for this? Thank you!
So I could use like gorilla glue for instance? Should probably work right?
100% dopeness!
So, where does one get the good thermoplastic? (and uhh dont tell em, but how well would it work for making extra GW bits?)
hello, have you tried to melt the glue in hot water with dish soap?
And thus began the international low-temp hot glue shortage.
😀
make a silicon mold.. gun the hot glue straight in ?
Would this work for smaller, _metallic_ parts?
How do the hot glue molds interact with a pressure pot? is it the same as other molds, or is there some risk to it?
i'm an old wh fantasy player, and i need a shitton of new round bases to play aos... is it a good idea to make hot glue molds and fill them with acetone melted sprues?
Worth a shot!
Tam da axtardığı videodu👏👏👍👍🇦🇿
I wish they make a glue stick but it plastics. It Harding keep it shape and doesn’t break or bends. Like make the polymorph bead into a glue stick
Great idea! Did you try any release agent?
talcum powder did the job and its paintable :)
@@Miscast Thanks!
"... a place where craft dreams go to die; Spotlight." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Didn't Lyla Mev just cover this in a video?
yesss, its just a weird coincidence, I made this a couple of weeks ago but put it aside to finish my nurgle diaries video. Post-Lyla's vid I figured it was still useful, same material, different techniques and info. Lyla's video is great and totally proved me wrong about the glue gun thing, I've pinned it in the comments if anyone is curious.
First comment. I really appreciate your work 😌
Top Tip .. 👌😎💚
Look at me buying bluestuff like a chump at full price
How reusable is the hot glue method? Not that it would be huge cost like but still.
you just heat it up and use it again, really that easy :)
Well, time for me to go to Spotlight, I guess.
Can't believe nobody has done this before lol
I’m a little scared to try this😅
And there I was, wondering what to do with the cart load of low temp glue sticks left over after my 7mm gun died
Holy shoot! This is sick! I can finally mauld my nephew and recast him! They'll never know the difference!
I mean... you could also use hot glue but.... "Nobody likes Hot Glue."
Lol.
Has anybody tried that method with doing epoxy? Let me clarify myself can we use the hot glue to make a mold and then pour epoxy into it
Don't you FUCKING dare badmouth spotlight, I will fight you. SpotlightXBunnings solidarity!
Also, good spot for the glue sticks, I'll definitely have to grab some next time I go buy fabric for a project I'll never do.
I have heard of hot glue
I have made a figurine using hot glue
Noice
Only if my girlfriend let me use a hot glue gun, I can't be trusted with any kind of gun...
This makes me feel like oyumaru is just reshaped hot glue gun glue..
It's not, oyumaru is better, but both work!
@@Miscast *stops walking towards the bin with his Oyumaru and instead pats it like a good boy.*
Miscast always answering the questions I have without me ever saying anything
I had tried hot glue molds from without seeing anyone talk about them online, and found small bits were ok, but two part molds were hard, but I was using it straight from the gun. Never did I think about boiling it and folding it over, but now I'm going to go find some stuff to work on and hopefully not burn myself.
LIKE CAT HEADS N' STUFF.... Trent, when can I come visit you? I'm vaccinated. K BYE
ALSO: whats a kettle?
two videos in two days? papa nurgle blessed us
Kmart has 'low' temp glue sticks. Probably trash for this application though.
I tried low-temp and high-temp Bostik glue sticks. They do NOT work. Possibly because the quality is too high? Perhaps low-quality glue sticks are less sticky.
Yes, yes you can. Thanks dude.
I love your videos, no matter how your projects turn out just please don’t stop making videos.
This morning, me: 'God, I have way too many hot glue sticks'
5 Minutes ago, Trent: 'Hey, go boil them and mould stuff'
Moral of the story; Miscast is spying on me and I'm ok with it.
AMAZING tutorial, this is going to be super helpful with some of the projects I'm working on. (I hope you were using a respirator while pouring plaster)
If the detail is not too fine you can also use Plasticine. Push the master into the plasticine and put the lot in the freezer (to make the plasticine hard), de-mould and then make the copy with plaster or epoxy putty of your choice.
You will lose some detail but it's good enough for many things.
Oh wow!! I never knew this. I have loads of plasticine which I bought to seal mould housing. That was before I was aware it reacted with my silicone rubber. Great idea, thank you so much for sharing it x ❤
Glue.
I do have some extra low temp glue sticks so I will try this out. Oyumaru isn't prohibitively expensive and you can always easily reuse it.
"Oyumaru isn't prohibitively expensive and you can always easily reuse it."
We're Australians. You'd be horrified on how far we have to travel and what we have to pay 😒
من هروقت قالبمونمیخوام ذوبش میکنم
awesome, I'm gonna try this.Thanks
YES you can use hot glue from the gun.
Just make original molds with clay instead of glue..
then fill the clay mold.
Way simpler.
Thank you for doing this video and making it simple to see what you're doing! Have you had any fails with the glue sticking to the templates doing it this way? Or take any precautions by coating them first, just in case?
I know you said how the water forms a skin but did see as you worked with it sometimes it would stick to your gloves. 🤔
I'm trying to get very shallow/small impression details and want to be sure I can still see them.
Thanks!
can i use this method to make hot glue molds for 6mm miniatures?
Wait. What. But... But i just bought oyomaru...
