Hi! I am visual artist from Ukraine and my current big project is a series of Ball-jointed Dolls (BJD). I wanted to share some parts of the process with you.
In the last months I made some changes to my last BJD doll and now I need to make new silicone molds for this details. In this video I show making one part molds for them.
Enjoy!
Materials:
For silicone molds I’ve been using the Smooth-On Mold Star™ 15 and Ease release agent.
For the doll I’ve been using LaDoll Premier.

Been watching for a while now and am loving how this doll has been turning out! It's such a long process, but i can see that it's definitely worth it ❤

Do you use a release agent in the mold, before pouring the resin?

@katesamostudio 5 ай бұрын

Hi! Yes, I do use Ease release

Okay! And also for one piece molds? (it seems to me that that would be a bit harder to get the Release inside the mold. Have you also considered or used baby powder as release?@@katesamostudio

I open and spray it a bit) I actually never have the problem ejecting the detail itself, only the excess material sometimes sticks to the silicone (I guess because it doesn't have the smooth surface). I afraid to use any powder or liquid release because I don't want to lose the detail surface texture..

Do you like the Task 3 over your previous Smooth On choice? What’s the difference?

@katesamostudio 4 ай бұрын

Hi! Task 3 is stronger after curing (it’s a ‘professional’ smooth-on series), but a bit translucent, and I really like that it’s curing time is ~20 min. It also differs with 305 by weight and the results after adding tints.

@@katesamostudio Thank you so much for your response. I’ve learned so much from your channel! Do you think the translucency adds to the realism or not? Also, what do you do for ventilation? Aren’t the fumes super toxic?
