Silicone Mold Making - Three Different Ways 

Here is a link to a downloadable PDF file with a list of the rubber, resins and waxes I use in my videos: www.dropbox.com/s/kz6mhmf7v5vpy7l/Material%20and%20Suppliers.pdf?dl=0

I like your humor. Fair to say all 250,000 people watching this appreciate your enthusiasm as well.

This has to be one of the most entertaining and informative casting videos I’ve watched on RU-vid. Absolutely fantastic. Subscribed!

I have a crystal container that has a design on the top and I couldn't figure out how to make a mold out of it until I saw you completely cover your cast then just cut it out! helped me allot! Thanks!!

I never would have thought of the rotation mold, never. What a great way to save a lot of resin. Thank you, Robert!

Vis video is not just useful, it's very calming, I love to hear that voice!

As I’m watching this and seeing all work that goes into your work and time minus the edit that we don’t see but I can image even all the little stuff, its definitely a lot of work for this little guy! He’s cutie and does look fun to do!

I had a mild curiosity as to what it would require to even make a mold. And this video did NOT disappoint!! Fascinating process, excellent descriptions of the processes and the reasons for each. I'm just in awe, it looks like so much fun!! I don't doubt there's an incredible amount of experience that's required to do this correctly like this professional, but consider me inspired!! Thank you for sharing your expertise and satiating my desire to explore mold making (sorry if that's the wrong term, I'm new lol) great content! Thanks again 😊

Mold making/Casting will definitely be on the To-Do list for 2021. Thanks for video.

Thank you so much, this is the first video I've seen from you, but it is the most useful mold making video I've ever watched. New subscriber.

Nice video, I've been doing 3D printing for a while and this video alone has convinced me I need to add resin molding to my repertoire of tools.

You are amazing! I appreciate your humor, that added to the overall loveliness of the video for me. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! ❤️

Thank you a million times for this video. Great instructions, simple and a great sense of humor added making it informative and enjoyable. This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I definitely joined. I can’t wait to see your other ones. Thanks again can’t wait to see the next one!

This is an incredible source of information that is simultaneously very entertaining. Thank you so much for your hard work and great sense of humor!

From an old metal moulder, great video. You've got me interested in resin casting. Well presented and enough information without overloading the learner. I have done some vulcanised rubber moulds for rings and other jewellery and this looks like an interesting new step to take. Thanks.

Thanks for all the videos. Very detailed and informative. I haven't poured a drop yet, but thanks to your videos, I'm hoping to avoid as many mistakes and frustrations as possible .Thanks again

Nice demo, and I also love your mold-maker's fidget spinner. :-) I am currently experiencing the newbie woes of using too much expensive silicone, alas. No matter how much college we have, we always are paying for our education, it seems. Thanks for the lesson!

Very clear, practical and to the point video, full of tips for amateurs! I really apreciate your insights!

You're awesome! Not only was this video super detailed and instructive - but your charm and humour made ma laugh!

I love all of the old tools and techniques that you use. Watching you making these molds reminds me of Pa Bill. Thank you for your channel and videos.

Love how you teach the small details that sets us up for success.

You make absolutely awesome videos! Thanks for taking the time to teach us how to do this.

Like watching the great Paint Instructor Bob Ross! Thank you for all the tips and tricks. Timeless help lasts through the years!

you tell us all the tricks generously !!!, thanks man

I came here to learn about making silicon molds for resin but I left with some much more. A very inspirational video Robert, thanks heaps for sharing it!

Wow, I just got introduced to a whole new set of art forms, thanks man! Great Video

Hello, Robert 👋 I just want to say that you do so cool work. Your channel is fantastic. Now, after I watched your videos, I understood how many mistakes I made and what I should do in the other way. Thank you so much for sharing your experience here ❤️

Love your videos. Look forward to the next one.

This was incredible! I wish I had your mastery in making molds. Anyway, this channel is GOLD and you will arrive to millions of subscribers in no time!

abgsolutely amazing! love the different methods demonstrated and the tips thrown in along the way kept me focused and engaged!

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH 🤩🥰💖such a useful tutorial 💯 my fav part is when you said "almost like I know what I'm doing" when you were doing the rotatory cradle for the mold🤣🤣 that made me laugh 🤣

I learned a neat trick for estimating amount of pour needed. After you set it up, before you mix your pour, fill with rice. Then pour rice into measuring cup to give you a fairly accurate measure of what you need. Works with me, but I add just a little more for good luck.

Was such a treat watching your video. You explain so well and have such an upbeat attitude :) Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

Well taught, and fun too! Thanks Robert!!!

I really enjoyed seeing this and I learned a lot!

I just found your videos. I had to subscribe after watching. You have such a soft voice and I love your techniques!

Ive been binge watching your whole channel recently and something occurred to me. Your use of plastic cups is brilliant because they're cheap, disposable, and low effort. But any time you need a box container, it suddenly involves a lot of work, effort, and materials. So I wondered if there was an equivalent to your cups for arbitrary sized boxes and the idea of vacuforming came to mind. Might be a quick, cheap, and easy way to quickly make your own "disposable" plastic boxes for castings. Just an idea

I would love to see a “how to” for the rotator. Love how detailed your videos are! Thank you!!!

So we'll done! I've always wondered about the process. Wish they would have taught us more of that in Public school... Thanks so much!

You are the best thank you Robert I’ve learnt so much from you … I’m still looking back from your previous post TY x🇬🇧

I was fascinated by this video Robert. You have many talents, not just as a puppet maker but as an instructor too. I subscribed to your channel because the work you do is superb. Thank you so much.

I love instructions from real expirienced people!!! Thanks Robert!!!

Very good video, thank you. I've made plaster molds but now I'm going to try silicone.

I love watching you. I love the silly things you say. I haven't watched for a while so it's really good to see you.

Really interesting instructional video, to the point. No "ballast" talk, just what you need.

This was extremely helpful! Fab attention to detail in instructions x

I simply love your channel. Your a clever man and your explication and demonstration are so good, who can mess up. Your right rubber is expensive! But it turned out fantastic!! Thank you so much. I’m old enough to be your mom but I learn so well with you. Thank you so much. See on the next really fun experiment! Take care and be safe.

Thanks! I am getting into leather working. I plan on using your techniques to make molds of smartphones to make wet form cases. Great information!

Great rundown!! Loved this!!

Rob... first time seeing your videos. I been doing casting for a few years, you have same great tips and tricks and methodology that I can really use, especially slicing small pieces of rubber to use as spacers... who woulda though =] Great video, thank you!! I just subscribed.

Incredibly interesting!!! A true master at work

You were amazing!!! Thank you for this very helpful video !

This is a brilliant useful video, thank you for sharing :)

Very interesting to watch. I will try to make some molds. Great job.

Just watched my first one of your videos, thought is your some kind of mad scientist. Lol great job.

I just stumbled across you and this video, very cool. I like it a lot! Thank you :)

Good lord, The amount of useful tips in this video! Awesome Thanks!

you, sir, are a master at your craft.

Ive watched this thing twice and I am amazed every time. Even the apple commercials were good in that joint. If you watch the video help him out and watch the ads too. this vide gave me a lot of confidence

Yea, I dig this guy ...and the dump truck he brings to carry all that Knowledge and Confidence along wit him. Lol Keep it rolling man

Sir, I thoroughly enjoyed watching your skill at work.

Awesome video. Extremely helpful.

I came across your video. Played it and it made me your fan. Learnt a lot from you. Very informative. The way you describe everything in addition to your humor is awesome. Learning has never been so fun before. Lots of respects from Pakistan.

Hi, Robert , I love to watch your videos very much. You are my good teacher. This is Jasmine from Shenzhen Yijiasan silicone Co, ltd, a leading China manufacturer of RTV2 for more than 15 years Our main product is Tin cured silicone rubber and Platinum cured silicone rubber for mold making. Good quality

This guy is a genius. Thanks for sharing all of your wealth of knowledge and your charm!

Brilliant! Loved this!

Extremely thankful for this video. You are a genius

thank you for sharing. You are very inspiring, keep it up!

Robert, My first time viewing your video, by far the best instructions/videos after 15 months of researching. I've loved crafting all my life. My grandparents raised me. They were poor but rich in love, I was truly blessed 😃. My grandmother taught me how to inexpensively craft. Amazing what you can make out of nothing. Salt dough ornaments were one of my favorites as a child I later taught to many classes. What product would you recommend for resin molds that would be the best for repeated use along with expense. Thank you so much :) I am now off to watch more of your videos :)

By the use of rotatory frame, you use very less plastic... That is a great idea...

Have enjoyed every video I have seen today. And yes, I've been bingeing. 😅

Great video! I love to see, I learn a lot of

Scanning Electron Microscope Eyeballs is my new favorite phrase.

I write the resin quantity and other filler / info on a slip of paper then paste it to the mold with clear silicone. I also coat over the paper with clear silicone to make the tag more durable. This way I know which mold is which on the shelf and have a quick reference to what was needed for a successful cast.

Great video, clear shots and commentary.

Oh wao you are amazing🙌🏼 never stop doing what you know and love Your acknowledge it's brilliant Thank you for the video!! 💗

Really appreciate your work Robert! Wondering how do you decide when to mold a vent to release air? Would it be for any one piece cut molds or certain requirements? Thank you for your time & energy

I thought at the beginning you were doing this as a hobby, I was amazed when you said you did it for a living. I don’t know how to make these RU-vid videos but will ask the children when I see them next. I don’t even know how to post photos but I’ve rotationally cast pieces 1metre tall, ship figureheads, reproduction ivories to fool dealers, pieces for museums and artists. You’re wasting so much rubber and having to cut molds. I can’t believe that. I stopped years ago but I think it’s worth a little comeback. I’ll get the children to show me how to make videos and post them, maybe I can teach you how it’s really done. I’m not trying to be rude but you’ve learned this through trial and error.

Really wonderful tuition. Thank you!

Oh my... It makes so much sense to cut rouch now that I know it xD thank you it helped a lot

Thank you for your knowledge, greetings from Colombia.

i appreciate u posting all the infos u used!!! thank u very much! and may God bless u!!

Thank you for the very informative instructions.

A high modulus of elongation. Fantastic description. I will use this again. Nice. Lol.

Thank you sooo much for the idea of a "witness cup"... genius! You're the man. Happy Holidays!

Wow this is so good. Even to a newbie like me! Salute!

Thank you very much for your reply Robert - appreciate it

We always choose to give our Gratitude and Appreciation for all that crosses our paths daily 💯 🙏 Gratefulness

Yes, thank you, I learned a lot from this one video.

So awesome 👏 😎 thank you for sharing!!

Thank you for this video! About to make my first mold :)

Nice!!! Excellent doings!

Your voice was soothing to me. Happy Holidays

Lovely video! Happy new year, Robert!

Amazing work. Thank you

That was enjoyable to watch 🙂.well done...

Hi there, 1st time viewing & I just subscribed & I’m sooooooo glad I came across your channel. This was seriously extremely educational, your teaching technique is absolutely awesome & very easy to follow, I’ve just started using resin myself & one of my mates who is a chef dropped one of his knifes & the handle broke & he asked if I could have an attempt at fixing it with resin & I said I’ll give it a go, I’m thinking I’ll have to make a silicone mold 1st. I’ll tell you what big brother must be watching because I didn’t even search for mold making & boom your video popped up. I’m so so soooooo thankful that you made this video, you have definitely set me in the right direction & I feel a bit more confident in having a go at making a mold & possible fixing my mates knife. Now that I’ve found your channel & subscribed I look forward to watching more of your videos & learning a lot more. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge & skills 👍👍

You are very neat person!! You amaize yourself!!! Lots of love

Fantastic video. I learned so much! I also learned I need a few more tools.... :-)

Brilliant and so knowledgeable, thanks for sharing!
