what is this purple matterial?

[brickintheyard]

@TriprosoposMc That is 71-20 silicone. In a previous video we show how to make this 71-20 silicone mold.

Can a resin support be made over an alginate mold? I'm using silicone for a final cast, and since it's so pricey I'd rather not waste any making a silicone mold.

Also, you're videos are great. I'm learning a lot from them, so thanks!

[brickintheyard]

@jekulac Since Alginate is water based and temporary I don't think a resin shell would be a good idea.

@brickintheyard

Great, thanks! I'll stick with plaster backing.

Is this food safe?

[brickintheyard]

@kylakae The resin is not. The silicone is non-toxic but it has not been rated for food contact.

@brickintheyard Thank you for your prompt reply.

could u use this in a dashboard on a car to get rid of the cracks and make it smooth?

[brickintheyard]

@JohnnyDesaint Not sure. I have never tried something like that.

How hot is it.Is it as hot as the vocano? lol

>> Alright, so I know I asked this question about the bronze version of this cast, but how much would this resin cast weigh? Would there be a considerable weight difference depending on the resin that's used? And also, what kind of clay was used for the original object? ^^ Thank you!

[brickintheyard]

@TheCrimsonEnigma 1st: weight depends on what type of resin used. You can use foam to make it light weight or filled resin (even with steel shot) to increase the weight. 2nd: I used TexClay (available on our webstore) to make this piece.
