Beautiful. I respect how rough and ready this was (no registration keys on the rubber mold or mother mold edges) but still pulled a really tight looking cast. That's just inspiring dude!

I've been wanting to do this for a long time. Thanks for explaining the process. You can use the same mold using concrete. A friend of mine used plaster instead of fiberglass and he used to make garden sculptures and statues. Cool. 💀

I had to make over 130 smashable skulls for a play. I of course went the cheap route (given the tight budgets of theatre) with plaster. I thought for sure when I saw you smash that skull you were doing it for the same reason... pleasant surprise to see a what you've done with these! :) Great work as always!

@brianbassett4379 5 күн бұрын

Could concrete be used in this type of mold, and if so, how many would it cast before starting to degrade?

@thedarkpower 5 күн бұрын

Yes it could. For something this small I'm not sure how well it would pick up the detail, but you'd get something. Generally moulds can do about 40-50 casts before they start degrading if resin is used. I've not tried concrete so I'm not sure if that would change if concrete was used.

@DavidGriffiths Жыл бұрын

Love it! I sculpted a small skull (between the size of a golf ball and a baseball) and I am wondering what is the best method to make a mold of it for casting? 1. Place in a cup and pour resin in the cup? or 2. two part mold of L and R sides similar to this video... ?

@thedarkpower Жыл бұрын

The easiest way would probably be to attach it to a board, hot glue some foam board around it to create a surround and then pour the silicon.

I bought a decorative skull and noticed it had a little weight to it. On the very bottom of the stand (it’s a skull and little bit of spine on a stand) there is a little hole. What material could this be made from? I feel the little hole is a clue on how it was made.

@thedarkpower Жыл бұрын

If it's mass produced I'd imagine it's a blown plastic, maybe abit like a drinks bottle. If it's hand made it could me roto cast polyurethane.

Hi! I want to make a skull mould that will create a hollow skull. Would i be able to do it so that i get a top and bottom like in half acrosswise? How can I do this please? Thank you.

@thedarkpower Жыл бұрын

Hi Lianne, if I understand correctly I think the method in this video should work. You could either mould a half skull sculpture or mould a full skull and then cut it in half.

Hi mate. Great work excellent detail. Was looking at the Blue Stuff Silicone but could you tell me which brand your using? PS: If you had got some solder you could of used that to get the correct diameter of the cast and convert it to card for a nice snug fit for your resinn jacket

I'm using this stuff with around 3% catalyst, although I'm often not that precise and usually over catalyse, so that might be why it seemed quicker www.cfsnet.co.uk/acatalog/General_Purpose_Resin.html
