Great video, I just had the same problem with resin that was a few years old and was thick. Try heating it up.. as soon as I started to put on the fiberglass it was setting.. I carried on and got it finished , not perfect but got it done.. hopefully put it on the forum in the week the piece I did ...Thanks again for your Video!!!

When you put concrete or what ever in rubber mold how do you keep the shape till you can make fibreglass mother mold thanks

@doogiehowser78 3 года назад

the use of the paint tray is a good idea and how you empty all the resin into it , i will do this from now on

@dramamask 3 года назад

It is certainly useful if you're doing small things in small spaces. :)

@Brenners2010 2 года назад

Hi, just wondering how do you clean the brush that was used to apply the liquid polyester resin with the matting afterwards? I attempted to make a mold using resin and the brush was ruined afterwards. Is there anyway to salvage the brush afterwards at all??

@dramamask 2 года назад

Acetone is used to clean brushes.

Hi mate what resin do u use for fiberglassing please

@dramamask 4 года назад

Tis polyester laminating resin. :)

@danielcarter1505 3 года назад

Would this be the same method if the mold was polyurethane rubber and not silicone?

@dramamask 3 года назад

The method would be similar and I have used fibreglass to make mother molds to house silicone. However, you might want to check out other peoples videos when using different materials. I know many use a resin to make mother molds to house molds made from materials other than latex. :)

@mauriciogonzalez6302 3 года назад

How do I find this type of latex? Where do I find it in bulk?

@dramamask 3 года назад

We're in the UK and buy our latex from www.mbfg.co.uk

@danyf3116 5 лет назад

Most videos I saw, put the wax BEFORE the PVA release. Why different?

@dramamask 5 лет назад

You are right and it is best to put on wax first and then PVA. I had a brain fart during this video and the correction is in the description. PS: I have seen some put on wax then PVA and another coat of wax on top of the PVA, but I stick to the conventional way.

@mitchellward4680 Год назад

I have a problem getting the tape to stick to the silicone. Any suggestions?

@dramamask Год назад

Tape won't stick to silicone and latex is used to make the mold in the video.

It probably takes around 2-3 hours to cure, but I usually wait the night for trimming, tidying up, etc.

@terrywatson2722 3 года назад

Probbabally daft question but why do some people put paper seems on rubber moulds thanks

@dramamask 3 года назад

It's preference really and there are lots of ways to make seams. Paper or magazine paper can be used to make the seams on latex molds, but some more sturdy is better for making the seam separation on fibreglass mother molds. :)

@terrywatson2722 3 года назад

Useing seems on rubber moulds does it mean you can open seem up to get mould out easier . Olso can you use just pvoh release without carnauba wax or do you need both .ill get there mate with all your help.many thanks haha

@dramamask 3 года назад

@@terrywatson2722 Yes, you put seams in molds to make it easier to pull the molds off. I wouldn't just use pvoh/pva and would always use the wax in conjunction with it. No point in trying to redesign the wheel.

Why didn't you just make one side first and dan remove de tape en stuf and then make the second mold against that side? Then you don't have any gaps and a perfect fit of the 2 halfs.

@@dramamask its not only positive to make it in a factory, everyone at home can do it the same way 😁 what i said, making a flange in the middle is good but you made it on 2 sides at the same time. We made a flange and then started with one side, then if thats finished leav the mold on and take the flange that you made of and then make the other mold against the first mold. I'm now busy with a dog house. If you send me your email i can send you some pictures of it.
