👍👏 superbement bien réalisé ,une très jolie œuvre 🇫🇷
Are you still out there I love the video but for the casting part do you have to attach the silicone in any way or just let them sit snug
No the keys in the silicone held the mold together, sometimes rubber bands or straps are needed.
Have you helped anyone implement this in a more high production environment? or would you recommend something else for higher production?
Absolutely. We can guide you in the right direction. Reach out to us here: www.smooth-on.com/support/ticket/add/agree/
could you make a mushroom? some mushrooms (like chantarelles) have deep, thin lamellae and irregular geometries, so I can imagine that it would be more difficult to make a (brush on) mold. how about a mold from a spikey chestnut burr? this seems very hard, given the thin protruding parts
Thanks for watching. Those are terrific ideas. I will pass them along to Milo!
I would add, why cast your ear? Is it to make a splendid "going out" ear?
Thanks for watching. You would do this if you want to create something that is custom to an actor or if you are making elf ears for examples.
Is it wrong that seeing someone with a giant bucket of SmoothOn products makes me smile? I just wish I had the $$$ to experience the joy for myself :P
Thank you for watching. It makes me smile too!
Having been spoiled by silicone tending not to stick to anything whatsoever, I made a rather important polyurethane mold, that encased eight sla-printed, hand-finished masters, without a release agent ...rather painful way of learning that polyurethane is an EXCELLENT adhesive. Probably my most expensive paperweight to date 😂
We are so sorry that happened. If you ever have question please reach out to our technical support team. They can help you if you ever have any questions. www.smooth-on.com/support/ticket/add/agree/
How and what do you use to make the fake ice
Hello, Our Rubber Glass works perfect for making fake ice. www.smooth-on.com/product-line/rubber-glass/
isnt mould spelled with a "u"?
Hi, It is spelled mold or mould. Depends what country you are in.
@@smoothon Oh, of course. Oi. i feel like I should delete the comment for being so stupid.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Holy crap! Nicely done. ✅
Thank you for watching!
Another video I watched similar to this one indicated that their product was not naturally waterproof. Is this product waterproof?
The urethane material that is poured into the mold will be waterproof as it is plastic.
@@smoothon Thanks. :)
Alien clay is alright, I wish it stuck to itself better, definitely usable
Thanks for watching and we value your feedback. I will pass it along to the team here.
other than the pressure pot, this is really helpful
Thanks for watching. Glad we could help!
Shore?
Hi, thank you for the video. is this safe for the skin and health?
Hello, Thank you for watching. The alginate is skin safe.
Did you forget to add the - please remember to plug your ear in case said casting gets stuck inside the ear canal ( I know somone who did this and forgot)
how Hello, how long does it take for crystal clear to fully harden?
Hello, it will depend on which Crystal Clear you are using. All of the info about each on can be found on this page. www.smooth-on.com/product-line/crystal-clear/
What is the best wax to use for making candles of my sculptures? Ive tried using soy wax a couple times now and it keeps breaking when demolding. The wax gets stuck in the detail. Is there a stronger, less brittle wax?
We have seen a lot of people using Bee's wax. You could give that a small test. I have never used it.
@smoothon OK I'll try that thankyou
What clay is that being used?
Thanks for watching. In this video they are using water based clay. When picking a clay you need to make sure that the clay is sulfur free as the sulfur can cause the silicone to not cure.
@smoothon ah ok. Because I seen in another video you use sculptex soft.
Great blood! But I have some problem with some orange/red staining on the skin after removal, any tips for how to remove the blood the right way or to prevent staining on actors? :)
Thanks for watching and glad that you like the blood. We have found soap and water works. Shaving cream is a small tip to help remove the blood as well. Let the shaving cream sit on the skin so it can soak up the blood and then wipe it away.
For me and my application, this type of mold is giving me an easy demold, as the material can be streched far more, and I can work with undercuts and caverties. I love these molds. Great video, again. BTW
Thanks for watching! Cavity pour molds can be really amazing.
Bonjour, je voudrais faire moulage alginete de ma tête😊
Thanks for watching. We have a distributors around the world that can help you. www.smooth-on.com/distributor-regions/europe/ They might have someone near you that can help you with that project.
Bill is such a nice guy.... one of my heroes.
We had a ton of fun hanging out with Bill when he was here. Wish he was closer so we could work together more!
Does the silicone alao bond to silicone? Trying to glue fabric to a silicone sleeve. Should it be applied while the fabric is stretched or relaxed?
Yes silicone will bond to silicone. I would apply it when it is relaxed but I suggest some small scale tests to determine exactly what is best for your application.
Can the model be made out of wood?
Hello, thanks for watching. Yes you can use wood to make your model out of. You will need to seal the wood before making the mold. If you have further questions I suggest contacting out tech support team. They can help you with any questions you might have. www.smooth-on.com/support/ticket/add/agree/
😮
Thanks for watching!
Well can i use normal bones aswell with this method, i want a fossil or whatever it is
You can use a lot of things to create the impression in the clay.
What do you use to make a mold on a live hand
Hello, Thanks for watching. Here is a video on how to make a mold of a hand. ua-cam.com/video/gndV6rMzR_4/v-deo.html
How long does it take to cure?
What material are you looking for more info about?
Why use Smooth Cast instead of something like Duo Matrix Neo? What are the pros and cons of each for cold casting?
Thanks for watching. Both materials will produce a fantastic cold casting! It will depend on what you are looking for. Neo will be heavier in weight than Smooth-Cast 325 will. Smooth-Cast allows us the ability to back fill the casting with a much lighter weight material. Neo gives a very nice finish because it is a gypsum. So it will depend what you are looking for. If you have further questions you can reach out to our technical support team. www.smooth-on.com/support/ticket/add/agree/ Thanks for watching!
did the coral need any release agent applied to stop the silicone from sticking?
No release agent was used in this project. The coral piece in the video is made out of sulfur free clay so we did not need a sealing agent or release agent for this project.
Do I have to preheat the mould?
You don't have to preheat. It is done to help reduce the pot life of the material so that he is not spending a long period of time rotationally casting. 7-10 minutes spinning a mold around can get very exhausting quickly.
I could watch you make molds all day, great content. With the mold @ 1:12:24 you could have also just tilted the base of the mold and let it cure a bit "crooked" instead of adding more material later.
When you pour a material into that mold you will have a casting that will not be level. If that doesn't matter for the piece you are making that would be a good solution. Thanks for watching!
That extra puck as a razor blade holder is actually a cool idea! Whenever I pour my ultracal I save the leftover pucks as paperweights :)
Thats a great idea too. We keep small molds around that we pour extra material into.
Hi my I ask if there's a food grade rubber molds and where can I buy it.
Hello, We have a number of food same silicone rubbers. www.smooth-on.com/applications/food-applications/
@@smoothon for example can it b used for baking? and do you ship to Canada?
I would like to see you cast the taillight lens for a 78 to 89 cadillac fleetwood brougham as I am going to have to cast some new ones for my 86 cadillac fleetwood brougham .They are very hard to find good used ones and forget about new ones.
Milo is going to be working on some new taillight lenses soon!
Dear Smooth-on, would you please consider making a video demonstrating TASK 4 cast into a sword with realistic dimensions, especially blade thickness? It would be great if it included a handling and stress test Thank you
That's a great suggestion. I will add it to our project list. Is there a specific model you would like to see? Thank you for the suggestion.
the urecoat finish when I use it is incredibly shiny without the matte, rock look as this. I've tried mixing UVO dye and matte powder, but it's still very shiny. Help!
Hello, have you tried using the UreCoat matte powder? UreCoat on its own will be glossy when curing against the air. In this video the Quarry Tone that is being added to the piece makes the UreCoat have a matte finish. www.smooth-on.com/products/urecoat-matting-powder/
added the sostrong fleshtone blue is important or not really? seem to making the model less transpa?
It will depend on the color that you are looking to achieve. Small amounts of the SO-Strong will keep the piece translucent.
Hot garbage
Would this work for concrete moulds?
You could use this technique for to make a mold for concrete casting. I would suggest reaching out to our technical help team. They can help you determine which material might be best for you. www.smooth-on.com/support/ticket/add/agree/ Thanks for watching!
7:21 And now, I understand where I went wrong. Cast mold under pressure. Got it.
If you are planning to use pressure you absolutely need to make that mold under pressure as well. Good luck! We are here to help if you need it.
@@smoothon Good to know. I actually talked to one of the employees about it. I will try it again soon.
I want a cast of this.
Milo did a wonderful job on it. Unfortunately we do not sell them. You can get some Alien Clay and sculpt one for yourself.
Is there a tutorial video of these days? Being in Australia I can't attend something like this but would love to at least watch it
We do not have any tutorial videos about just these days however we are always adding videos. Is there anything you would like to see from us?
man, if only you could help finding the mesh and seal profiles you are using... such a pain that you don't carry any of it
Can you reach out to our technical help team. They might be able to help you out. www.smooth-on.com/support/ticket/add/agree/ Thanks for watching!
Still looks like crap
Thank you for taking the time to watch and share your thoughts.
Haii very nice informative video. Is there any possibility that we could partnerup. Iam from India.
