Very good video mate👍 I made a very large round mould and poured a very successful hybrid platter blank using your method. Love the tuck tape. Couple of suggestions though...I use the plastic corrugated board they use for real estate signs (I got a whole bunch for free from a local agent) instead of Perspex and I use hot glue to seal the join instead of silicone ....the resin doesn’t adhere to either.!! Using the metal strap to reinforce the join is genius though really liked it👍👍👍👌thanks for taking the time to make your videos much appreciated😀

@spwoodart 4 года назад

leo hollingshead Hi Leo, sounds great! I have made molds out of the corrugated plastic before, Works well. I don’t have luck with hot glue, maybe it’s the glue I’m using? My epoxy resin always sticks to it. I use high temp glue,, maybe that’s an issue? Thank you for tips, and for watching. Cheers my friend! -Speros

Hi Speros , Another great video from you mate ! I have been collecting a few bits and pieces to make my own moulds and will give them a try when its much warmer here. After a bit of a set back health wise a couple of weeks ago I'm up and running at last and will be looking forward to get some work done around the cottage and more importantly up in my shed :) Cheers mate Bram

@Bramsshed1913 4 года назад

Hi Speros, I had a bit of a set back, I finished a course of treament and was getting better then after a few days had to go back to the doctors as my breathing was getting bad again . The doctors sent me to the hospital for blood tests and another xray and was prescribed more anti biotics and steroids . I had another appointment today for the results and was told my lungs are clear and that the blood test showed an allergy which the hospital will investigate. I also had a prescription for another type of inhaler which will be better than the last one. So all in all things are at last looking up and my asthma is getting the treatment I should have had five years ago. Thank you for your concern mate and to every one else that has been in touch with me both publicly, and by pms on FB, I am truly humbled !

@spwoodart 4 года назад

Bram the Wadesmill woodturner absolutely, I am so glad you are doing better. I also have asthma. Figures, we choose wood turning with tons of dust. Lol Hopefully they don’t find an allergy to wood dust. Glad to hear your asthma is under control. I have had to be hospitalized for asthma before, not fun.

I am considering trying this with Acetate as it is very inexpensive and perhaps reusable if removed carefully. I am new to this so curious if you've given acetate a try? (question can go out to anyone in comments) I suspect I'll need thicker acetate because resin gives of heat as it cures but don't really know how that stuff reacts to resin heat. Thanks for sharing your experiences :)

@timholstpetersen79 8 месяцев назад

Hi. I'm struggling with the same stuff as you, of course. The thing is, that it seems that the very tape you use is the key.... not any of the other materials... and I'm not sure I can find that here in Denmark.

@spwoodart 8 месяцев назад

The tape helps for sure. It’s sheathing tape for out side houses. Not sure if that helps. Cheers my friend.

@timholstpetersen79 8 месяцев назад

@@spwoodart Thanks for your answer mate. I think I may be able to find something similar here in Denmark ;-) It's important to note, that I am primarily focusing on making smaller (and always round) coffee tables.... a bit larger than the mold you've made. I am, of course, watching your video because I too want to make a mold that can be reused. It is _way_ too time consuming to have to make, basically, the same mold over and over again. It's a hassle though... many, many wood working videos, and especially epoxy related videos, rely on specific kinds of tape that likely exist in Denmark but have completely different names.... and are necessary to do the job. I've tried a few different ones that absolutely did _not_ do the job, so I'm kind'a.... arrrgh, LOL ;-) It looks so easy on video but when the whole thing sticks and you have to use chisels to pry the thing off. I've bought me a release agent too, like you use in the video. I'm really hoping to find some kind of e.g. silicone bendable material and make a mold where I can somehow 'release' the sides/edge and then pry it off the bottom afterwards... obviously without destroying the edges of the mold. Thanks again for answering 🙂

@spwoodart 8 месяцев назад

@@timholstpetersen79 I know what you mean, I didn’t want to make molds over and over. You can make a mold like the one I have (bigger) and use 100% silicone chalk. You could Smear It all over the edges and bottom. I have not tried it, but it may work. Thanks for watching my videos, I appreciate it. Cheers!

@timholstpetersen79 8 месяцев назад

@@spwoodart Hey, of course.... and I'm sorry I forgot to subscribe and like... it's been remedied as I'm writing this ;-) Again; thanks for answering. I will try a similar approach as yours but need to figure out a way to make it easily repeatable. Not in an industrial sense but still something that makes it easy to produce multiple tables of the same dimensions with a single mold. I'm stoked about this, because it would allow me to eliminate _one_ of the constraints of making these tables. The thing is that I actually _love_ making the molds.... it's part of the process... but I have too many ideas on what to put _into_ the molds, and am too impatient to use the time on the molds ;-)

@timholstpetersen79 8 месяцев назад

One of the other constraints, of course, is the cost of the epoxy itself... so for starters like me (and you, at some point), it can be an expensive learning. On my last project I used 6 kg of epoxy... and it turned out 'okay' (my wife is happy ;-) ), but I had to ditch the mold and do it all over again. I want to feel free of the mold thing and to experiment with designs. For now, round coffee tables but....

Hello, I love your videos and know I need your help. I am trying to create my own clock silicone mold but I don’t know how to create the border for it. Do you have suggestions or ideas I can use. Thank you so much.

@spwoodart 2 года назад

Hello, just to clarify are you looking to make a clock mold with numbers out of silicone? If so, you could use this same design and make a smaller one to fit inside it. Thanks and hope that helps.

@gustavotobon7042 2 года назад

I could use this to create the silicone mold with numbers for later use the mold to create the clock out of resin. The issue is that this way it will not create a border for the mold to stop the resin from going over the edges. Thank you

@@gustavotobon7042 to get the border make 2 of these resin molds, one large one small. Out one inside the other and that should give you the border. The smaller the inside one is the bigger the border would be on the silicone mold. Hope that helps.
