Make Cobblestone from Caulking? YES! 

Jeremy out there proving to us that we need more Caulk in our lives.

IDEA: use the textured result to wrap a large cylinder. Instant texture for a round tower.

For the purest unrefined joy anyone has ever seen its from 5:42. I can personally NOT get enough of it.

For those looking for alternatives to the rubber mat, I have had great experiences with just using fabric and caulking to create game mats. Grab an old bedsheet and you're off! I will say, I expect the rubber mat to be easier to work with. You really want to stretch the fabric out, but nails and a board or clamps and cardboard work well. Happy crafting!

The rollers' success got me thinking about doing a stone block texture, a wood texture, and speeding up my medieval house construction tenfold with premade flexible wall textures. Glad it worked out the way it did!

For us Europeans, there are quite a few alternatives to Dynaflex. Try Bostik's (ex Den Braven) Hybrifix, or ClearFix, which our both hybrid products, that combine acrylic's, non acid silicone's, polyurethane's and Ms Polymer's attributes. Extremely flexible, paintable, neutral products that have also adhesive properties which will help them stick to the rubber securely. Same products are Sikaflex-111 Stick & Seal and Sikaflex-112 Crystal Clear, but knowing Sika they ought to be more expensive than the Bostik's products. Durostik has something similar, but I think they are only for the Greek market. Cheers Jeremy.

5:41 it makes me happy to see the excitement at this working on the first try 😄😄

I use Dap Concrete Patch with texture rollers. The concrete patch comes in two varieties: The can has a gritty concrete texure and the cartridge texture is like cake frosting with no grit. They are flexible and dry very fast. You can smooth them with water when applied. I have applied the mixture to heavy watercolor paper and you end up with a thin flexible sheet of texture. If I am in a hurry, I just use a hair blow dryer and they dry in -10 minutes. Great video! I have not tried the silicone caulk so I am going to give that a try.

If the caulk works so well with the rollers, I imagine it could play nicely with stamps!

Dayum! that worked pretty dang well!

Gotta love the mixture of construction expertise and terrain building skill. This channel is one of the best resources for ingenious terrain techniques!🎉

Rockin! I despise clay, and those rollers just don't work on foam. But I have caulk for miles!

I personally like this experimenting process more than just "hey I made this thing heres how" it shows more of your thinking process

I have a theory that Black Magic Craft really is magic. A couple of months ago I commented that acrylic/latex based caulking was almost impossible to find where I live, apart from really expensive imported brands. Suddenly, there is an abundance of it in the same online shops I always use, and for reasonable prices. Coincidence? Or a little Black Magic?😆

Oh man I'm SO GLAD I watched this! This is SOUCH BETTER than 3d printing bases or to dress up, say, an entire Leviathan box worth of bases!

I immediately thought of using those strips for making round buildings/towers.

I absolutely adore how hyped Jeremy is at ~6:00. Incredible video as always

This is INCREDIBLE for wargaming. Making relatively flat, low profile roads adds so much to the visual interest in terrain. Are you able to cut these with a hobby knife afterwards? I was thinking you could potentially 3d print some kind of stamp and then stamp it onto some caulk, then cut it out. So you could make like a rune circle or lava pool or wood planks or vines or something. Using a stamp to make scatter terrain seems really interesting.

I thought you were getting caulky with all these novel ideas but they're working great!

Brilliant innovation! Well done!!

Loved watching the trial and error aspect of this video. Very relatable!

Using dish soap in a silicone mold works well for silicone/ acrylic filler. Silicone requires an additive to remain fluid. This additive reacts on the surface of 'cured' silicone. Liquid soad creates a slick barrier that doesnt appear to have a reaction. Alternately use pure acrylic in the mold.

Dude, I wanna say, I have been following you from the beginning, and you are the absolute Goat to me. You have ups and downs like all of us, but you deliver awsome content time after time. Keep it up Jer.

These are my favorite kind of videos. Quick, easy and affordable options for crafting.

You're knocking it out of the park with one game-changer after the other! Kudos!

Fit for the Pit? Really digging deep into the deep lore of 90s Canada TV there! lol

Love the Street Cents reference!

It's wild how well this turned out considering how simple it was to make!

The joy in 5:54 made my day. That is why I love crafting terrain.

MANNNNN, LOOK AT YOU GO! :D Thank you for sharing this!

I love how you experiment and how honest you are about it. Love watching your stuff!

awesome video! I cant believe that roller didn't stick, what a win!

Nice! Im glad to see the suggestion worked out for you!

OH! I'll bet if we mix some sand in with the caulk and then lay down the textured rolling pin on it, it would make old ruined roads. Time for me to test it out! Great work, Jeremy! A random thought into a new technique?! You help me exercise my brain so well.

This rules hard. Gives me plenty of great ideas to experiment with myself!

that rollout at 5:40 is my favorite. Ive done weird ideas like this and when it works and ITS SO EXCITING!!!!

You brought up an idea: Test that stuff on a foam block, to create walls for houses etc.

Nice to see the frostgrave battle mat mold coming out again!

Shoot some hot glue into that small silicone mold! Hot glue is spectacular for casting into silicone molds! It picks up detail surprisingly well, and it is cured and ready for paint in as little time as it takes to cool off. It peels right out of the silicone, no problem. I have had issues with air bubbles and I don't really know a good way to prevent them with hot glue, and occasionally you do miss a spot and not realize it until after you demold the piece and see holes in it. Even with those issues (which are really minor IMO) it is a great fast way to cast in silicone. I know "casting mediums for silicone molds" wasn't the point of this video, but I still wanted to share! 😁

Hey Jeremy, if you want a big scale mat, maybe you could 3d print your own meter long texture roll. Maybe a modular one where you can screw a roller into another roller like a silencer. Would certainly make an interesting video.

This is brilliant, definitely going to give it a try

Loving your recent series of experimental techniques, and this one in particular. If that mold test in fact turns out ok, please let us know, waiting a week to cure is not a major problem for a lot of crafters.

Fantastic. Actual innovations that make terrain making cheaper and faster. Kudos maaaan :)

I just tried it today! It's an amazing technic! Also, I tried it on an eva non-slip mat for kitchen for its thinness so I can build a road on a curved bed! This is litteraly a new world that opens to me!

I appreciate your creativity and the ideas that helps me make some for the games are family play. Thank you for what you do

Um so this is AMAZING. I love that your idea didn't have that expected "fail" that we often encounter as crafters... it's just nice when a project goes totally great the whole time, huh? Amazing.

I’d be interested to see the texture rollers in the creation of some 3 x 3 dungeon tiles. I’d be a lot more slim and portable

Thanks for the fun exploration!

man that is cool... I hope this leads to a full project.

Have to say I am a long time follower but still very new to the hobby, this is definitely the easiest way to get started with out buying all the foam and stuff. Jeramy my friend the Word legend gets thrown a lot these days but you wholeheartedly embody the word.

Fit for the pit! Using some “street cents” there! 😁

I love this format of video. You just trying something out and rolling on with whatever result you got. Hope to see more of It in the future

Did you know that Jeremy is only his stage name? His real name is Macauley. We just watched Macauley caulkin'. I bet he was home alone while making this video. Awesome build! Super useful!

I gotta tell you, I LOVE THIS IDEA. I was so inspired that I actually just tried my own project last night with caulk. I spread out a thin layer and then wet it down real good and rolled out a wooden floor pattern on it. When it is fully cured I am going to use it as a skin for making boats for an upcoming water adventure. No more cutting out hundreds of strips of foam board and it contours better than foam board too. I'll be posting the video when I get it done.

I tested this out with a long mouse-mat and a cheaper caulking I found in Aus and it's worked really well! Nice!

Next challenge: Can you make and use rubber rocks (either the kind used on the previous playmate video or some other method), then attach said rocks to strips of the rubber mat, and then set it on end to have flexible modular cave/cliff walls?! 2-3" strip, a few well-placed boulders to brace it upright, and then various sized rocks scattered around.

Outstanding work once again.

Thank you! I was thinking about trying this, so I'm glad to see it worked!

5:46 AND THAT's when i SUBSCRIBED. i used your caulking idea for my battlemat. couldnt have worked any better for my band of brothers set! thanks again

this is fantastic news! I have been working on this project myself and I have been psyching myself up to potentially ruin one of my rollers to try exactly this. Knowing I don't need to worry is a huge boon (Also for any Australians out there who need a suitable material, Bunnings sell flat sheets of Neoprene in a tile that is fantastic. it also comes in thin but much longer rolls that are a great for roads/streams but come with a nylon grid embedded that makes them want to hold their curl. I am still experimenting to see if I can get those to soften with heat or pressure. They also sell a big roll you can buy by the metre but it is thicker and less flexible, and seems to hold it's curl pretty vigorously. Experimenting continues, but the neoprene seems like the winner by far)

Jeremías u are a craft oss! God... is amazing crafting 🎉🎉🎉

Another material I've been using is maskmaking latex. Its a little more expensive but very flexible

The pure excitement when the first roller worked ❤❤❤ this made me happy.

BRAVO!

BOOM! Another great hobby tip that has us running to the shops. I hope DIY stores are giving you commission!😂

It's really cool seeing you try new techniques like that! I hope to see more of these, even the failed ones!

Oh THATS what that dangly pokey bit is for on those caulk guns! usually I'd go find a stick or something! Learning more than I expected here!

OUTSTANDING! Nothing more to say.

I love the idea of using this for oddly shapes buildings and walls. Especially since making texture roller balls is so doable thanks to 3d printing.

I always enjoy watching experimentation of new techniques. Thanks Jeremy.

"this nonsense" is super entertaining and educational to watch!

Thin and thick PVA craft foam is readily available in the States and should be an adequate substrate for roads and walls.

I think youre about to start a revolution in game mats, textured play areas that arent rigid (and thus easy to store!) Proof you really are the High Wizard of Black Magic Crafting !

Rubber shower pan liners work great as a base and you can buy them in 4 foot wide rolls. Plus you can boil it or use a hair dryer to make it work on wonky terrain.

Rubber baseboards are great for roads and straight rivers. Especially if you add the caulk to the top of it.

If you can, try some textures! Try sprinkling sand, or flocking on while its wet and see how well it sticks once the caulking dries!

good to see more conten t Jeremy. been wondering where you been. good idea keep it up

This is gold! Been wanting to make cobblestone modular roads that for the longest time. Flexibility is even better!

Idea for you, using Forest Green as background,adding a little black if needed.Then dry brushing Barnyard Red over top,maybe 3 times,will make it look like real brick.Im 76 and been doing it for years.Did it on real fireplace, over red and white paint,looks original. DO the same for grass,only using greens adding browns and black.On stucco dry brush brown,tan,rust,in spots after laying down a basecoat of black.All my life I've painted,houses,ceramics, porcelain, canvas,fabric and I love trying to get things to look as close as I can.

This absolutely INSANE! Thanks man!!

Jeremy, you have blown my mind. I've been dwelling on your technique for the last three weeks. I've been working on building a set of board games. I need to make rigid textured walls and floors that are repeatable and fast. I going to use the 230 on pva and black paint covered chip board for sci fi walls, floors and doors. Great sci fi rollers over at Curown Made. Modular corners, walls and doors - stackable. I have 18 games across 5 genres and this will have me making terrain and props in 1/10th of the time. When I get something I'll send you some pictures. Thanks man. Rick, in Memphis

Wooooow, I totally forgot this channel existed! So glad you showed up on my feed!

I think you have to mix some corn starch into the caulk. It will be a bit like a putty then, and cures fast. I've used that trick a lot since I learned it. Make cheap rubber shapes fast. You even can mix some acrylic paint into it. Try it and you'll be a happy camper.

Like to see new methods of crafting from content creators like this. Especially when it was a mashup of new materials that give them a new idea. Thanks BMC for being a beta testers for all us model makers.

flowerbeds and beds, it would be interesting to see what kind of grass areas are obtained from this material

Thanks for giving us all these Street Sense! ;)

"Fit for the pit" is such a Canadian reference...I am very happy :)

IDEA: been wanting to test if caulk texture would work on a kids magnetic tiles bulk kit

Fantastic use or these materials!! 🤩 In few weeks you'll see some new gaming board on internet with this idea!! 🎉

Seeing Idols of torment content is great, Can't wait until everything finally drops

A great idea; well worth the time I spent watching; as are all your videos. I thought I have regarding the moulds, can you apply a very thin layer, let it cure, then apply a second, and repeat until you have a cast that works.

That is really cool! Ican imagine making roads and walls from this material. Super easy and durable.

Try mixing some acrylic paint in the calking. It will help the calk to harden within a half hour. It doesn't take a lot of acrylic paint to do the job eather. Just consider it 2 part silicone. And if you want to thin your silicone calking, add a little mineral spirits. Just be sure to note the ratio for next time because there is shrinkage.

Put the caulk into the molds in thinner layers that will dry quickly and will adhere very well to each other.

Super easy! Great job!

I was planning to test this next week with my rollers, and now I don't have to worry about it working. Thanks for doing it first and removing any worry I had!!

I will have to use this technique. I'm not a tabeltop player, but I do enjoy making miniatures and I think I'll give this a shot

I've been wanting to start making terrains for Gaslands and some cyberpunk wargaming, this is gonna be so helpful.

I already tried this on strips of hobby EVA sheets. Works like a charm.

-Try vaseline as a mold release. -3D printer to make your own texture roller designs: wood panels, sand, etc. plenty for print already! -Stamps: windows, your logo…
