Thank you so much for this video! It’s sooo very helpful. I’ve watched and rewatched many times. I have a question. Do you use mold release during mold making or casting? Do you find it adds texture to the finished casting? Thank you for your time.

Do you have any recommendations for good bits for fine grit sanding with rotary tools? I never really know which ones of my bits will work the finest lol (obviously not the coarse sanding drums 😆 )

Hello, is that a table vacuum cleaner you're using? Is it enough to avoid resin dust fyling all over as I've seen other artists using plexiglass cages to protect themselves? Good luck with your dollmaking work 🙂
@katesamostudioАй бұрын
Hi! As for me, the small vacuum is enough if you work very closely to the fan (but still I want to buy more professional one). It is crucial to check and change filters. I have plexiglass dome, but I decided to use good head mask instead, because this way I see better what I do:)

@tinkey25622 ай бұрын
Hello! I had a question about molds. I intend to use mine to mold air dry clay, so I won't need to pour resin or anything in it. I was wondering if you cut a one piece mold all the way down to bottom on one side, wouldn't it essentially perform like a 2 part mold?
@katesamostudio2 ай бұрын
Hi! I never did two-part mold this way, I assume if you will cut it with enough ‘roughness’ it could work.. If you will decide to try it, please write back, I am intrigued :)

Well I guess I vastly underestimated the time making molds and casting a bjd would take. It looks just as laborious and time consuming as sculpting the doll itself. Only much more stressful, unpredictable and more expensive since I'd have to purchase a pressure pot

Yes, it is very time consuming, but when I start getting first results (like the first assemble of a master doll) I usually became very motivated to proceed:) miniature is some sort of magic for me 🪄

Hello! Thank you for this video. I know it's a bit older. I am interested in making molds and I saw someone melt the clay and pour it in to the bottom of the mold box. Do you think that would work with doll parts as well or is it better to just form it the way you have done here? Thanks!
@katesamostudio2 ай бұрын
Hi! Ladoll (that I am using for sculpting) can’t be melted. I know only about monster clay that can be melted and poured, I guess it can work. But it’s used only for master model, it doesn’t last long.. as I know for the ‘final’ doll the resin is the only option (if we’re talking about silicone molds)

@steveelkins523 ай бұрын
I have watched all your videos, and admire your abilities, its the aesthetic that troubles me... is a plastic doll or a porcelain doll better? I think you have gone to extraordinary lengths to achieve quality, probably more than a porcelain doll, in which the pouring appears to be a much simpler task.. so perhaps it is more difficult to caste resin than porcelain? for toy-like durability...or longevity.. what are your thoughts?
@katesamostudio3 ай бұрын
Hi! Thank you❤️ well I didn’t try cast porcelain dolls, so I can’t tell you if it’s harder. When I chose resin I honestly thought it’s easier that it turned out to be:) so I definitely think that there’re pitfalls in porcelain casting also.. and it will take time to master the skills.

Could you please explain how you make the cast hollow!!! I don't really get it if it goes in pressure pot for 40 min it'll be completely solid right!! Do you pour our some of the rasin after it cured a little like porcelain casting or is it the way you make the mold!! I would love to have some info in it.. If you would please 😊
@katesamostudio3 ай бұрын
Hi! If you want to make the parts hollow right after the casting, you need to make the molds with the ‘pipes’, the silicone can bend so it is possible to take the detail out. But I usually just drill the details like legs and hands. This resin can’t be casted like porcelain, this materials are very different..

@katesamostudio3 ай бұрын
Hi! Thank you:) it’s hard to show exactly how to place each detail, because it all depends on the angles and the nuances of the doll. Each doll is different, there’re just some common rules and recommendations for making the molds. I definitely will share more ‘secrets’ in the future videos)

@katesamostudio5 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.

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..

I’m confused in how to make this. For example if I’m making a mold of my doll’s limbs like arms or legs etc. how do you make sure that it’s hollowed like this? Did you let the silicone sipped inside or did you plug the hole with plasticine? I can’t see the actual positioning of them before you pour the silicone on it.
@katesamostudio3 ай бұрын
Hi! You’re right, this is one of the way to make the mold. But for more neat result sometimes it’s better to drill the hole.
