In this video we cast prop silicone hands from a 590 alginate mold using the new 5110F and 5130F silicones. We made the lifecast mold with 590 accucast alginate.

I always get a kick out of watching these. I keep telling myself I'm gonna do some of this molding work. I used to make suction cups at work for picking up bars of soap. I remember heating those though even though it was a 2 part material.

Very cool!

Would have been nice to see different skin tones that are possible rather than just the same one 4 times. Good explanation though.

Check out some of our other videos for more info on pigmenting/skin tones, etc..

Would covering the tube with cling wrap between casting help the alginate last a bit longer?

@bitymoldsupply 19 күн бұрын

Maybe. Alginate is organic and starts to break down pretty fast, so don't expect it to last. Damp paper towels inside the mold can extend the life a little bit, but you have to use the mold fast!!!

What if I want to cast a head and neck? How much silicone do I need?

@bitymoldsupply Ай бұрын

I would recommend visiting the resources section of our video library. There's a lot of steps to that and a lot of different ways to approach that.

I'm a trauma actor in the Nederlands and have some questions.... Does this stuff can handle some mistreatment ?? Does it last ??? I mean i need to make it once and be able to use the limb multiple times for years. I need it to be realistic. I need it to be able to withstand water, dirt, oils etc etc. Can it withstand a tourniquet? I would like to add a skeleton and perhaps some veins (riped off limb). It's so hard to find the right stuff due to the usage...

5110 and 5130 are both tough, tear resistant silicones. That said, a lot depends on how the part is made and used. We don't sell outside the US, but you can see if there's a BJB distributor close to you and they can direct you to the products you need.

Can you mold the front side of the hand without the full back hand?

@bitymoldsupply 17 күн бұрын

That is up to you and your moldmaking/lifecasting skills!

how can a hollow hand can be made ? like a gloves with thikness of 1 or 2 mm thikness

@sigvar6795 Ай бұрын

You mean a shell like a glove?

@bitymoldsupply Ай бұрын

For that you would need to make a core mold. Not something you could do in an alginate mold. I suppose you could "slosh" a 5110F around until it set, but it would be very difficult to ensure a uniform thickness.

Por qué no se ha producido inhibición al mezclar la silicona con el alginato? Habéis esperado un poco para que el molde pierda humedad? Gracias

@bitymoldsupply Ай бұрын

5110F is not inhibited by alginate or moisture.

Is there a same type of liquid mold that can be applied by brush on a large model to make a mold? Instead of filling up a large case to hold it? I want to make a 4ft mold.

@bitymoldsupply Ай бұрын

That would be a "Brush-on" mold. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nr13n6teusCanH0.html

How would one make an inverted mold of a prop hand? So that I could make a proper hand of my wife’s right hand to serve as a left hand. As she does not ah e a left hand.

@bitymoldsupply Ай бұрын

The easiest way to make the missing hand would be to sculpt one or mold one from a similar subject. Reversing a mold just results ina very distorted cast :/
