Make a matrix mold - mold making secrets silicone mold to make resin parts two sided mold

[@geronimosrifle2913]

Makes you appreciate masks so much more when you see actually how much hard work goes into those things. I remember when Spencer's opened up in the mall and we all wanted those masks but they were a $100 plus even in the early eighties but man they were so cool In highly detailed. We attempted to make our own with tinfoil, melted crayons, chicken wire, and paper mache. I never worked out to look exactly like the ones we saw in the big stores but they turned out to be ugly and that's all that counts haha ha!!😊

[@StiltbeastStudios]

many cool things come from failed projects lol!

Pretty complicated but very cool. That's gonna be a nice thick sculpting form.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

yeah its about a half inch all the way around.

[@JT99JT]

Just ran into this.. Loving it as this is in the same town I live in.. And the same shop that I buy from. Mitch seems to know just about every kind of moldmaking there is..

[@StiltbeastStudios]

yeah Mitch is pretty awesome, thanks for watching the vids, what kind of work do you do?

[@JT99JT]

@@StiltbeastStudios I just make things as a hobby. But I do 3d printing, mold making/casting and a few other tangents..

[@Sillyzombie666]

dumb question can i buy a sculping form or even a solid head bust, trying to use a foam head to plan out some of my head gear is a pain in the ass

[@Sillyzombie666]

@@CobwebsandCandlesticks I don't work with clay or any of that I'm not that skilled I like modifying existing headgear and need a full head. The current masks I'm working on is a paintball mask that I have modified with lights rusting some aging to it. The other mask I'm working on currently is a Mickey Mouse pillow that I've turned into a creepy Mickey mask and I need something to set it up on while I'm distressing it

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

I bet a nice hard plastic mannequin head would work for you. A beauty supply store might have one or I bet Amazon has a ton of plastic display heads to could work off of.

I find what you do fascinating but the practical mathematical person who doesn’t have an ounce of creativity doesn’t get all the steps. I understand the first couple steps and then after that my brain was out to lunch but I guess that’s why we’re all different, makes the world more fascinating. 👍🏻👍🏻👹

[@StiltbeastStudios]

the video is also here forever, so you could just watch any steps over again if you miss one, but I get it. not every video is for everyone either.

[@guidancebeats]

What is the benefit of this over a brush on mold ? Especially when the cost would be a 10th .

[@StiltbeastStudios]

I sell sculpting headforms, a lot of them, as the different mold parts wear out I can remake one part of it. A brush on mold would still need a jacket mold, and the matrix mold process allows me to control the thickness of the mold which is much harder to do with brush on.

vasaline breaks down silicone over time, use a diffenrt release material

[@StiltbeastStudios]

That is not true. Vaseline breaks down latex. You can actually add up to 20% Vaseline to your silicone mix to make it self releasing. By the time any agent int he Vaseline breaks down the silicone, the mold will have died from use. Since your'e only going to get 40 pulls out of it anyway.

[@karolinakiwicreations5738]

My wallet cringed at the cost of all of that silicone...cannot wait until prices drop!..i usually buy in 5 gallon increments @$400 but inflation made that skyrocket!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

yup, its pricey for sure

[@patientmental875]

I havent made silicone molds in 15 years & your telling me silicone is that expensive now? Like everything else I guess these days

[@StiltbeastStudios]

sadly yeah, it is. Pandemic pricing hit it hard.

[@avamasquerade]

I have a very serious business to attend to, a lot of important people waiting patiently, billions, nay, *TRILLIONS* of dollars on the line, countries may fall, dictators shall rise, but instead of wrangling the megalomaniacal hillbillies at the next world economic forum, or managing the personal medication schedules of the Sackler family, I'm just gonna marathon your entire body of work. K thx, you're all fantastic and lovely! k byeeeeeeeeeee!
