neat tutorial, thanks! Are those mold products very expensive? You seemed to be quite generous in the volume used in your mold.

Cool molding material I have never seen it what is it and how does it compare to regular silicone molds ?

Side note there are better way to do this.

- The mold uses unnecessary amounts of moulding material ([edit] not sure if it matters this material might be reused).
- This is one of the worst shapes to make a mold off. When creating molds you should look at how the casting material flows trough it and where do bubbles like to gather. The trick is to avoid air bubbles to get trapped in there at all cost. The shape you are trying to cast seems to be made to trap as much air as possible.
- You might not want to make videos casting gw stuff they tend not to like that especially if you are aiming it to be a business.

thanks for your tribute..
I like recasting but this time I found your way little bit expensive (time-energy-material). In little works like skulls/heads/badges I use Oryumaru clay (reusable) and green stuff or milliput (there are always waste during conversions).

Paint, share, comment and improve

I used to spend tons of money and time on casting with resin and rubber. Making vent lines, injecting the resin with a syringe, vacuum pot, etc. to save money I would cut up old rubber molds and us it as filler..

Then I found Oryumaru!! I have never gone back!



I use 50/50 green stuff and Milliput white. My cast have never been better
