1 gallon kit would have been cheaper. lol

You can use cooking spray to release the foam from the mold. Your foam is crackling because it’s iso-rich. The mold was breaking from the heat of the foam. The end display is pretty cool, though!

the tips below are great. 1 thing, instead of cardboard. You could have gotten a plastic mixing bowl. They make huge ones. and use the mixing bowl lid ( most come with one) cut a hole int he bottom of the bowl. pour in ur mix.

You are the coolest! What a fun dad!!!!

I think you did an awesome

Dude is all gas and no brakes and I love it.

I think I want 3 of those pumpkins. No mess pumkin carving

Wow! Great job, Dad!

In my experience of using mold making silicones, is that the best ones are the ones that usually have a longer cure time. I know we want things to be fast but usually in this case slower is better with the initial mold due to it's size. Also, so you don't have any guess work in how much silicone you need, poor rice in the mold to completely cover the object. It will help with knowing how much you will need in the long run. When you were making the box mold, reenforce all the seems inside and out. Smooth-on also has a special brush on hardening agent that you can put over the mold once it's done so you don't worry about keeping it in the box. It will help with pulling out stubborn molded pieces because you can separate the shell from the mold, and it'll save you from have to pull to hard on the mold and avoid damaging it. Overall you did an awesome job and this is trial and error most of the time.

Wow; Best Dad in the world.❤

That looks phenomenal... LOVE how it came out! Never thought about wood stain on plastic before. Also, I need to 3D print some droids!

Sweet 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

This is such a fun age. You totally won the coolest dad award! I think it’s rather special, bc later on they’ll look back and see how much extra effort you actually put in just for them. ❤️❤️❤️

Plaster of paris mold with an epoxy coating. Cheap, easy and fast. Just make sure to use a jelly or wax as mold release to separate halves easily and get the pumpkin out. Once the mold release covers the surface, mist the lot for the foam to cure faster.

I live outside Dsm so Ill have to check it out

Roger roger.

We need more videos!! Your content is down to earth and actually helpful. Please bless us with more videos! Do you have a longer droid video coming out?

What sander are you using?

This looks awesome! But who can afford passing out a piece of bite sized sample candy? Heck to the no. Not doing it anymore. I've spent thousands on lighting, lights, candy, costume, making decorations to give to Goodwill. I only helped put stuff in landfill.

Pour mold with plaster of Paris to make another mold. Then our silicon in it. Or spray the silicon mold with stuff from Michaels.

Spray them black FIRST. then lightly spray orange...and even green to make moldy ones.

Wow looks so woody and really nice

this is so cool man, looks great.

Looks great! Definitely will remember this technique.

@trashy-panda-life has a video on a Great foam spreader technique. Less waste, even rows and more control. Great if you use alot of foam projects.🎉

Interesting might try it on a gundam😂

You just got another follower … for saying “ and I have no idea what I’m doing” LMAO

I had to make a horses head and did it with cardboard lol. But to be honest the cost of one can of spray foam you could have bought a pumpkin. We buy them in bulk at the store for 2.00 or 5 for 7.00. Cause we use 100+ a year for our display. I use spray foam and loc tite that can be sprayed with water and shaped. We make most of our own halloween stuff. Over 7 years going.

Great job!

Who cares. Final product came out awesome, and you learned a few things. Most folks don’t go to great lengths to do projects like this!

Excellent ideas!

I loved watching this video. You never mentioned how everyone liked the Haunted Hollow? P.s. This is my first time watching your channel.

wow you really did an awesome job! Well done you.

Plaster of Paris or Alginate like the dentist uses to cast for missing teeth.

Any sound effects?

And to think, 15 years ago, I was walking around like mom of the year for using glow-in-the-dark paint and star stampers all over the ceiling in my daughter's huge bedroom. 🏆 I'm going to keep my title and NOT show her this cool project 😊

Next time might wanna try thickened silicone with tin thix thickener then you can do a free form epoxy dough shell, or plaster bandage shell.

Oh, thank goodness, you've done the hard work for me! I'll just slip the mold into my car, and thank you so much, Mr Artist guy! I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a pumpkin mold today 😃

This is great! I need shelves like this for my collection

Maybe a mixture of plain gelatin and corn starch. Like a few boxes of plain gelatin a cup or so of corn starch and hot water but less than what the gelatin box calls for.

This is so great! I might try this with my not as nice as your stairs. I’ll have to paint mine first

I enjoyed this video sooo much! The combo of real talking and over dubbing, the mess, the trial and error. This video was the real deal and I loved it! New sub

Ya did good

Wow wow

Wow!!! Fantastic job. ❤

Amazing work👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Sweet👍🏼

You are awesome and DETERMINED great job your PUMPKINS🎃 look incredible !!!!

Jacket mold with simple silicone would have been easier and then a hard shell over that with plaster bandages would have done you better. I hate that you spent all that money.
