Making a Silicone Mold and Casting a Mask in Bronze Metal

[@1superMADpickle]

This was EXTREMELY helpful and inspiring for me to make maskes, cast bronze and even make youtube videos, id love to do things like this too!

[@johnsumner2987]

I love the fact you left it raw and unpolished. It gives it a more organic look, very nice.

[@bashkillszombies]

The quality of the finished product is inferior than if he just hammered it out. And that would have taken five to ten minutes instead of an hour of messing around, heaps of energy to heat it, heaps of pollution and wasted time. You use casting when you want fine detail high quality products. His product is very low raw pour quality.

Nice job! Reminds me of the Phantom of the Opera's Red Death mask. Could you please share also who did the music? Loving that middle eastern thing in there, yowzah.

[@jurandfantom]

o wow, awesome work. Never thought there is so many steps to correctly cast something.

[@KaiCrafted]

+jurandfantom Hey, thanks! As you get experienced the steps all blend together and it doesn't seem like so much

[@Ninjatori]

Love that mask and the jaw. Wish you made a vid on how to do them.

[@KaiCrafted]

+The Ninja Hey, thanks! I'll make you a deal, if you subscribe I'll make a video about the clay masks!

[@Ninjatori]

Say no more, fam. I'm in.

[@OnkelJann]

Beautiful work! 😎👍🏻

[@KaiCrafted]

+OnkelJann Thank you so much

[@antirens]

Its pretty cool man

[@NemorisInferioris]

Awesome! I need to make a face mask, similar to that one, but thinner and covers my nose, all around my forehead. Could I use this process to do it? If you need photos lmk

[@bashkillszombies]

No. You cannot cast noses in bronze. It's forbidden.

[@DaedalusProps]

I fuckin' LOVE Rebound 25, good choice

[@GHSTTHERENEGADE]

Sooooo, when is a full mask?

[@KaiCrafted]

+GHSTTHERENEGADE Well heck, I guess it'll be soon

[@riaancoetzee3998]

This is Really good! What did you use for the investment?

[@KaiCrafted]

Thank you! I used Kerr Satin Cast 20, you can get it from Rio Grande Jewelry (and other places, I expect)

[@ipodman371]

idk how but i know that you can create your own subtitles explaining what each step is and why.

[@KaiCrafted]

+raine newell thanks, I just thought the tape was fun!

[@threshanimations7430]

Did you add the plaster strips when the silicone was cured or still drying? many thanks!

[@KaiCrafted]

William Thresh I waited until the silicone had cured, but you can apply it pretty much as soon as the rubber stops being sticky

[@threshanimations7430]

Thanks really appreciate the advice!

[@iplayloud2]

Like 100x

[@schuur10]

Nice dogs, one of them is called Pixar i guess

[@KaiCrafted]

No, haha, what makes you think that? They are great dogs though!

[@BrianChristmas]

I believe he's referring to the way the cone makes the dog look like the Pixar lamp. ;)

[@ectoplayz7351]

new video = one more tape role

[@KaiCrafted]

+Ecto Playz Next I'm going to start writing everything in hot glue!

[@Raiuga-wiz]

the red looks like some dried blood

[@bashkillszombies]

For something so low quality in it's shape you could have just pressed that yourself or hammered it to a superior an equal yet faster, cheaper, lower energy wasting and polluting finish.

[@KaiCrafted]

It wouldn't have been an exact copy. The point of the project is mold making and casting, it's not meant to be the cheapest way to achieve something vaguely similar. Definitely appreciate the negativity though 👍

[@cameraman8044]

try hot glue sticks

[@KaiCrafted]

Instead of tape?
