Milo walks you through the steps in choosing the types of mold you can make for your project!

something about cavity pour molds are just soooo satisfying!

It is one of Milo's favorite types to make.

This is a clear and to-the-point tutorial. I'm really tired of goofy tutorials which think viewers need hipster music, Kubrick-style editing tricks, and lots of annoying jokes. Just show how it's done, Chester! 😸 Best wishes from Vermont 🍁 and have a terrific 2024!

idk how many more videos I'll be watching aside from this one but regardless I am subscribing to the channel simply for the great display and demonstrations to the different approaches to making molds PLUS the reasons to make such molds. I feel so well informed and it really helped me decide on what method to use. Thanks again.

Maybe the best overview on silicone rubber mold making I watched so far, spoken so clearly,. That's highly appreciated for non-native english speakers as me. Outstanding work ! I've got some Smooth-On products and they are great, the only downside is the cost and availability in my country. Cheers from Argentina. PS: Suscribed!

I know this video is 5 months old. But, i was checking out your website and im really interested in how to use your high density epoxy putty (free form fire safe) for making rocks, logs, trees, branches, etc for aquariums. That sounds like a very cool product to use in a planted aquarium I'd like to do.

Thanks for great video. I would like to know which mould has the longer life span. The block mould I would say.

@smoothon 2 месяца назад

The best answer is that it will depend. There are a number of different factors that can cause the mold to last a long time. The benefit of the cavity pour though is that you can easily make new molds if you need too.

@np4136 6 месяцев назад

I have used plastic wrap between the clay and Free Form Air to minimize clean up. It works very well, although it may leave wrinkles inside the cured shell depending on how smooth you can lay it down. Is there any reason why you wouldn't recommend doing this?

@smoothon 5 месяцев назад

If that technique works for you, that's awesome! We see no reason this technique couldn't be used.

@akeem2752 3 месяца назад

If i have old molds I don't use, could I chop them up and use it as a filler in a block mold or would that decrease the integrity of the mold?

@Febiza919 Месяц назад

That sounds like a genius idea actually 🤔Lots of people just add more cast items to their molds to maximize the use of space, so I don’t see why that would work, especially since you don’t have to remove it after.

Hello! i have a question - what material for molding form should i use if i want to make an iron/metal mold sculpture? i dont think that silicone nor rubber will be useful in this case? thank you for the video!

@smoothon 5 месяцев назад

Can you send us a tech ticket? Our team can help you - www.smooth-on.com/support/ticket/add/agree/

@miloradmedunic6202 4 месяца назад

You have to use investment casting material (ceramic shell, sand...foundry supply)for anything that is hotter than 560F. (aluminum, bronze, iron....)

@nick_coles_art Месяц назад

This has helped me so much. Im just starting out with moulding. One thing i dont get is how to get a model out of the mould if there are large gaps for instance a figure with the hand on hip. How do you release the figure if the solicone is trapping it?

@akselyilmaz4537 Месяц назад

For something like this I think a multiple part mold is necessary

@akselyilmaz4537 Месяц назад

Or you can break the model into several parts and do block molds of the parts if they are not too complex after separation

@nick_coles_art Месяц назад

@akselyilmaz4537 ah ok awsome, thankyou.

@smoothon Месяц назад

Absolutely. A multipart mold is your best friend in that circumstance.
