I USED THE SINK :/

@omex2005 My condolences...

Have you ever dropped a hard mother mold and had it shatter on the floor, forcing you to do it over again? That would seriously bite...

[brickintheyard]

@KewneRain That's why we add the fiberglass matte!

...in your future videos that is. :)

What did you do to Han Solo ?

@Fuzzy192006 I made a deal with the empire that will keep cloud city safe for a long time.

nice mold making video. Using fiberglass is nice. Like the polishing. Thanks for the post

I'm just wondering, do you prefer white hydrocal over say, ultracal 30 for instance, even though ultracal is much stronger? and if so why?

[brickintheyard]

@Tomcreature Ultracal 30 has very different working properties and is much heavier than Hydrocal. For this type of support mold we need something strong but we also need something relatively light. Hydrocal allows for a fast cure as well as a gradual thickening that aids in this type of mold process.

How big is that bag of Hydrocal?

[brickintheyard]

@Lurker1979 That is a 100# bag.

[Lurker1979]

@brickintheyard Wow, cool. :)

I've never thought to use fiberglass instead of burlap. I'm going to have to try that for my next stone mold.

Do you think you could spend a video briefly going over the most important tools and their applications?
