In this tutorial we make a 1 piece, seamless skull mold using 5110 Platinum Silicone thickened with Thixo thickener. We made the mother-mold with our 6" plaster bandages. This is an easy, inexpensive way to make bust molds that can be used for casting rigid casting foam, resin, and other polyurethanes.

Great video! Would I be able to pour flexible prop foam in a 5110 silicone mold?

@bitymoldsupply 2 ай бұрын

Yes, but the firmer silicones, like 5130 or 5140 are better suited for self-skinning flexible foam.

@@bitymoldsupply Awesome! Thank you for the reply. Can I still make a mold out of the 5130 silicone? Thanks again. And thank you for all the awesome content.

@@HesCrafty yes. Just be sure to account for the expansion force of the foam.

Para não rasgar o melhor seria usar borracha látex, ou o silicone é melhor?

@bitymoldsupply 3 ай бұрын

Latex is great for concrete casting but not for resin and foam. 5110 is ideal for casting polyurethane resins and expanding foams.

Is the 5110 better to use for than your platsil 10 silicone?

@bitymoldsupply 3 ай бұрын

Not so much as better as different. 5110 is a slower setting, lower viscosity formula so there is more working time and it is much easier to use for poured molds, also less expensive.

I do like the idea of a longer working time. Thank you
