How to Make a Complex 3 Part Silicone Mold 

Awesome technique! Thank you for posting this great tutorial!

Absolutely incredible... wow... nice work

Another legendary and spot on recommendation by youtube for me. My life is now complete. Thank you.

Beautifully done and excellent results. The satisfaction from making a good mold is priceless.

Thank you for sharing This is the best mold making ever

Welcome, Very creative techniques... Appreciate your sharing

Excellent video! Well done 👍

That's ambitious Hard job done well 👍

I am impressed, that inner core tongue and zipper silicone cut. S'nJ! beauty.

Your video really helped me out! Thank you so much ! I modify your method and am using it to make a wax model for a complicated ring design I came up with. Before I came across your video I had to hand form the ring which is time consuming so thank you once again ! You are great inspiration! I already made my first mold and am now working on my second 3 part mold.

I love the music 😊

That was awesome, man. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom.

Amazing!

This is Awsome. I'm always amazed at artist sculptures but I'm equally amzed by the molding and casting aspects. Please show us more.

THAT WAS AWESOME

Thank you so much for this video

That was nuts.

very good job

Great tutorial this is what iam looking. Thsnk you sir

Great work!

Good job

Very impressive: great video. Can i ask? would you say it would be possible to make a silicone mould of a bee honeycomb ? seeing it has hundreds of chambers, how would it be possible with the silicon rubber?

This was very in depth and helpful! Thank you. I am wondering if you would possibly sell a mold that you have already made?

I've found this video very helpful. How much molding material was used❓ I'm thinking at least a gallon maybe 2❓

Great video and what an interesting project. For a mould that size I would have made a brush on silicon mould with a outer support shell. This would have saved you 50-75% of silicone with out compromising the casting result. Sorry Smooth-On, this will not help your sales.... ;-) And looking at the closeup shots I noticed the number of bobbles in your silicone is insane. So either degas the silicone before pouring (you can use your preasure tank for this), or brush on the silicone in a thin layer first and then pour in the rest. And when doing the casting under preasure will drive the resin into the small airholes. But boy what a great project. It is a sham, that I cant click the "like" multiple times here..... cheers.

Why on earth are you pouring the silicone all over the master? That's a sure fire way to get bubbles in your mold. Pour into one corner away from the model and allow the silicone to find it's own level.

what would you do if the sculpture was oil based clay?

Thank you for the video. Your opening sequence is cool. BUT, when you get to the beginning of your project you are rolling through it at breakneck speed suitable for someone who has already been deep in the project: yet none of us has! To add to the speed issue, the constant pounding of what is supposed to pass for music makes you want it all to end! Your work is good. slow it down. Let concepts register in the viewer's mind and give the viewer time to store them visually before you move on to the next piece. The whole ABC thing landed on the screen in less than 5 seconds and was soon gone before those of us unfamiliar with this work could "get it". Nothing worse than watching a video or sitting in a class feeling like you are behind! Great approach to a technical problem! Just work a little more on taking us there with you! thank you again!

Hi again. I believe I've viewed this 100 times by now. My stumbling block is the inner core. Is this at all sculpted or just a piece to fit the inner core. If so how much room does one leave. And did you place keys on the inner core. Sorry this step has me perplexed and confused. Thanks and hope all is well. I enjoy your videos

Thanks Jason, really appreciate you sharing this. I want to make a hollow mold for like a cap of my head- how would you recommend i go about that? would it be the same as the three part silicon mold as shown here?

Wow, this is amazing! Loved that you went into detail on how to do everything. The rib cage reminds me of a part I'm trying to figure out how to mold as it would be a 3 part mold I'm guessing but not sure. Any chance I can email you to show you?

Great technique and video. I' trying to learn how to make a mold similar to this, but since I'm new to mold making and the piece is very intricate, I don't know if this particular way is the best. You think you can check the piece and give some advices? Thanks :)

Cool video. How did you make the center plug?

How much silicone is needed for this mold?

I know this is probably a weird question, but is there any way to make a mold of glass spiral earrings, or are they too complex a design?

ah I'm a bit confused. description says used mold star, but video says mold max. 2 very different products. I know you said mold max has a good library life, but what about mold star? how different are they really? (I've only used mold star. dont have the $$$$ for degassing) especially for this 3 part injection mold?

Do you take requests? I have an item that potentially may need a 3part mold. How much would you charge ?

Seems really complicated to apply this but it's a very good technique. I want to cast something like a bottle where the hollow inner body is wider than the neck so I think an approach like this might be needed. P.S. I love the Freddie Mercury reference lol

thanks for sharing. i bet you want to get a vacuum chamber!

Is it possible to pour molten aluminium?

i never thought of using a big syringe to inject resin like that. can you reuse the syringe ?

Freddy M!

That silicone rocket engine... Why did it look. Like something else

Man, I suck at mold making. No matter how many times and money I throw at it, I just can’t get it. Looking for someone to make a mold of a spider that I have and a skull if you’re interested

Can I like this video more than once?

I would have just cut the thing in half cast it and put it back together again

Can you do a Facehugger from the alien movie franchise

Show

❓ was that a reusable mold. I sure hope so. That's alot of work for one cast

11:19 Is this Freddy Mercury?

hani lan kalıp?

Was it just me, or did anyone else find the music so annoying that they had to turn it off?
