Hey Stuart, thank you for your amazing video! Is the burlap very important for the stability of the plaster?

@stuartbray 18 күн бұрын

Yes, as plaster is brittle and may crack when under stress such as when being levered open or bolted/clamped closed.

Hi Stuart.... regarding this half of the face- why didn't you just do a "simple" brush on silicone mould and then fibreglass over it? (just curious- I'm not being a belter)

@stuartbray Ай бұрын

It's a good question. You'll get a better result, with neater keys and consistent controlled thickness of silicone because all that is established with clay. I really like a continuous key around the edge, and it's easier to do this in clay. Brush on moulds work well for the sort term but I like to use a pure silicone without adding thickeners or accelerators etc. if possible which can reduce library life. I have also a done brush on mould video.

Oh my goodness! This is awesome!!! I’m actually making a severed finger necklace 😅 would you be able to cast anything and make a wearing mask if that makes sense? Or would I need to stick to silicone/latex? Thanks!

@stuartbray Ай бұрын

If you are using a mould then you'll need a material which starts out as a liquid and then dries or cures to a flexible solid. There are a number of materials that have this property but latex and silicone are the most reliable and easily acquired. There are also flexible urethanes but these are smelly and unpleasant to use for masks. There are liquid neoprenes too but these are not easily found in the UK so I haven't used them

How many layers of fiberglass creates a shell mold that is practical to use? I am making one now using Bondo and fiberglass cloth. I do not need to capture detail. Iot is for a silicone mold. Fiberglass fabric seems rather sturdy.

@stuartbray 2 ай бұрын

It's available in different thickness, or weights. Usually the one I use is 600g which is the weight of a square Metre. That I use two layers with a third on any flange or edges which need drilling/bolting/clamping or levering against.

@andrewt4456 2 ай бұрын

regarding your air bubbles issue - it may be due to varying temperatures. One often gets this when varnishing classic yachts' teak, if one starts too early in the morning: you need to wait until it has warmed up and stabilised temperature-wise, with the aim for it to be if anything COOLING after the varnish is applied. This stops the substrate from gassing, as the cooling draws anything into the substrate, rather than pushing it out. So if possible I would try to warm the object up slightly, let it stabalise a bit above the ambient/room temperature, and then the gassing/bubbling will (hopefully) be minimised as the coating sets.

And if you want to use a human to make a silicone mould mould make sure you use skin safe. Also make sure you stuff straws up his nostrils and one in the humans mouth as you want your human to still be breathing after an hour or two.

@BattlesWithBitsofRubber 4 ай бұрын

I would never advise straws in the nose, as knocking that and carving a groove into the nasal cavity isn't great. It also distorts the nose and lays flat over the lips and gets in the way of business. I 3D scan nowadays instead life cast in the main. So much more accurate and comfortable.

@michaelpearson1272 4 ай бұрын

@@BattlesWithBitsofRubber no computer in my day. No videos in my day. And no books just pamphlets with silly drawings on them so I learned the hard way with all the other oldys but knowledge was handed down and nice to see we where able to hand it over to the more advanced technology of today. But I see your point with the nostrils but still think it's a great idea to use skin safe on the human skin and pop a straw in the mouth if you choose the old fashioned way of the old school mould maker.

@BattlesWithBitsofRubber 4 ай бұрын

Naturally you'd use a skin safe silicone for life casting. This video is about making a master mould from a plaster, so this video isn't about skin safe materials. I have done life casting videos where this is the subject. I too grew up learning from old school techniques and masters. It amazing actually how much you appreciate the new tech having spent 30 years never having it. I worry that mould makers who only use digital won't have the hands one experience to appreciate the benefits of being able to print up moulds and mould jackets. There's nothing like hands on experience.

I also seen a guy taking a fibreglass mould half from another man's torso and struggling for a while you heard him taring it of. I could not believe it.

hi Stuart, love your work. got the DVD from Mould Life. May I ask if I'm sculpting many veins that are close to each other, it means have to do the cutting edges for Flat mould?

@stuartbray 6 ай бұрын

Hey! Thanks for the support. If you want silicone pieces with cap plastic encapsulant, then I would indeed do that. Personally though, I woukd make them in a flat mould but use a Prosaide Based paste such Bondo, Prosthetics Transfer Material (PTM by Tinsley is fantastic) or similar. That doesn't need a cutting edge doing as there is no cap plastic involved.

Hi Stuart. I made some silicone prosthetic appliances with plat gel 0 and Super Balidez cap plastic but forgot to put deadener in. I tried to apply one of them, stuck it on with pros-aide but couldn't remove the edges with IPA using cotton buds. I even tried to use acetone but didn't work either. Can it be because I forgot to put deadener in? Or what can be the problem?

@stuartbray 6 ай бұрын

All cap plastics should dissolve with acetone, even the alcohol based stuff. Sounds like the edges are not pure cap plastic, there is some silicone in between the two layers. This means the thick edge you are trying to dissolve is not cap at all, but the silicone between the layers. Nothing dissolves silicone, and a thick edge like that means something went awry in the casting stage.

I prefer an adhesive such as Pros Aide or Beta Bond. It's also worth sealing the back of the appliance with a sealer such as Kryolan Fixer Spray or Matthew Mungle Sealer A. This will help prevent perspiration moisture from getting to the gelatine and melting it.
