  • 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? 

  • @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?

  • @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.

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

  • @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.

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

  • @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.

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

  • Dont Disrespect the shim

  • 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.
