How do you prevent the resin from flowing back into the pouring hole and leaving a thickening behind? The law of communicating vessels seems to apply here. I don't see any trace of the pouring hole, so how do you do that? Nice job, btw.

Interesting process but the problem I have with the idea is when people take commercial items and do recasts and then sell them. Conceptually it is the same as making copies of copyrighted material and selling them for profit. A big* problem in the garage or small batch area of scale or figure modeling *well maybe not big but it is big to the kit producers And it is nice that you supply links to product suppliers

This is an astonishing video. Thanks. How much different is your polymer pour from that of polymer used for a rifle. I was interested in making some of my own rifle parts, and was curious how to make my own molds lead me to your video. This video made it seem fairly easy to set up at home, however I was wondering the structure rigidity difference between an at home pour vs factory. Mind you, I am aware of it depends on the maker , but in your case. How close do you think you could replicate the quality of strong polymer parts.

They are all rigid and I need to make a mold of them that I can put against the side of the truck to cast them with the proper curves to paste to the truck. I plan to paint the truck a gloss black including the EGA. I would welcome any suggestions you might have to help me. Thanks.

This video revolutionized the way I think about making resin molds! About the way you used packing tape to cover the holes, is there any worry that the mold may become damaged when removing the part(s) and ripping the positive mold side? Also, how long do you figure the mold will last considering the size and shape? Thanks!

Ripping the molds is always a possibility just have to be careful. You should get 20 parts out of a mold more if you're gentle

Great video, Eric! Your tutorials are exceptional in that they are methodical and can basically serve as scholarly courses. I really admire your work! I was meaning to ask you for the advise for quite some time now. Namely, I am working on a toy prototype, and I am in the phase when I cast various parts of it using Smooth-on's Smooth Cast 310. I have a bit of a trouble producing the right colour of the part by using So-strong pigments. Namely, how does one measure the right amount of the pigment that goes into resin in order to achieve repeatable results (i.e. to ensure each copy of the part in the series is the same colour)? I find it quite hard to estimate the right amount of pigment since it is so strong on one hand, and the resin tends to turn lighter when it cures so the colour attained when the resin is in a liquid state is not the same when the resin cures. How does one overcome this difficulty? Thank you for your consideration.

Great video! Thanks! Question: could you use a dummy block in the second pouring to save some silicone? For example placing a hanging wood block in the middle of the original plastic part and then pour the silicone. This would create a big recess on the silicone but would save a lot of silicone, which is expensive. Then, when pouring the resin you could still place the wood block to make it stiffer and remove it after curing to ease the demolding.
