Mold and Part Making- Brushable Silicone, Spray Hard-Coat, Flexible Urethane Foam

This video illustrates the process of making a "Glove Mold" with a rigid shell backing and then casting a flexible foam part with an integrated urethane skin. The finished parts can be used in Special Effects, Props, Theming, (etc) applications. All products available from BJB Enterprises, a leader in urethane casting materials.

that spray-on shell process sure looks to waste alot of matrial-sure brush-on is,nt a cheaper way-or polyester resin...or plaster?

[BJBEnterprises]

@tuuexx The person applying the spray shell had the settings set too high with regard to material flow. If the gun and spray head is set correctly, there should not be dripping of material. To answer the questions about other backing material, you can apply fiberglass/polyester (or epoxy) or plaster if you prefer. The spray material is best utilized on larger surface areas for quick mold shells because you can demold within hours as oppose to a day or more.

Would the flexible foam ITSELF stick to plain silicone without mold release????

[BJBEnterprises]

@CGkawaiicrafter The short answer is No; the foam would still release from the silicone mold but it is still advised to use a light application of mold release so the skin formed on the foam is not stressed as the part is de-molded. Often times we see that if soft foam is cast into a silicone mold without release, more force is required to de-mold the part and the skin might tear or pull away from the part. We recommend our E302 "Rocket Release" for use with foams.

WHAT IS THIS BLUE MOLD STUFF WERE DO i get it?

[BJBEnterprises]

@game33able It is TC-5024 with SC-5001 Thickening agent. This system is a two-part silicone molding material that is normally a flowing, castable product. Adding the SC-5001 makes it brushable and will hang in thicker sections. You can contact us to order product from the website address in the video.
