Awesome tutorial! Would this work for pouring silicone rather than resin?

Amazing! This is, also, a very well done video! Thank you sooo much for taking the time to do it!

The background music to this video is doubled up I think. It sounds crazy.

[RyaVids]

@VariablePenguin Hahahaha I noticed that. My mind started wigging out.

what should i use if i want to do this with a object that is curved sort of where it is a odd shape that i wouldn't have any flat surfaces to pour it into

@MrMason917061 I would look over some of our other video tutorials or else visit our website for contact information for toll-free tech support and mold making advice.

can you use Brush-On Silicone Mold to make lead soldiers? would i need to cut air vents?

[SmoothOnInc]

@saied49 Rebound 25 can withstand up to 450F. You may need to cut air vents, this would be dependent on the configuration of your original. You may want to investigate a pour-on material such as our Smooth-Sil series of pourable silicones for your particular application.

i think i need a product like this. the problem is, the object i want to mold is a sculpture made from non-hardening clay so i cant stipple and brush on the silicone so hard as she did in this video. any suggestions? is there a less viscous material i could use that would capture more detail with less force?

[SmoothOnInc]

@maikeru01 Hello! You could use a pourable silicone such as our Dragon Skin series, and allow that to 'flow' over the surface of the piece before following up with brushed-on rubber.

@maikeru01 I've used materials like this on oil based clay, it is usually okay. The clay I use hardens when cold, so I sometimes put the sculpture in the freezer for a few minutes just to help it out.

[maikeru01]

@Ninjaculation what do you mean "usually?" :-/

[Ninjaculation]

@maikeru01 I've never really had a problem. tho, i think you should expect to fuck up a few sculptures before you get your process totally right. I certainly have. Do some small tests to get things down.

This is so extremely cool. I will be doing this soon, hopefully.
