Making Molds with Mold Star 30

[@reclaimingRAD]

Use cat litter or rice to measure your volume of mold star needed. I'll set everything up like im ready to pour, but fill my mold box up (with your casting object inside your mold box, of course ha!) with dry material like rice or cat litter.. then dump out and measure. Now you have the exact amount needed so there's no o waste or hectic 2nd pours! Save the dry material for next time! Cowabunga dudes!

That's a great idea! Thanks for the tip!

[@LadyAmanita]

I've got some mold star 30 I'm getting ready to make some one piece molds with, and this was really helpful. Thanks for this!

[@JohnGunter_Johnprime]

Wow, that's a really big custom mold! Wanted to add an extra thought, the final board looks great!

[@gaminggeek241]

Yeah, the bigger the mold, the less casts you have to make and I'm all about that.

[@shaolinlueb]

I wish I had the skill to do such things! I love the way your board looks!

[@reclaimingRAD]

Quit doubting yourself you a-hole. You can do anything, literally anything better than the next guy or gal. But you have to get out there and DO IT. And do it, and do it some more.. guarantee you will bypass 80‰ of the crowd if you keep it up, you savage! Now get!.. go on!! Yauh! Shamalamadingdong!

Try using Tyvek instead of wax paper, it doesn't stick to epoxy resins like wax paper. Great video, I'm using Mold Star 30 for custom knife scales, this video was very helpful.

[@fjalarhenriksson]

yes this video made me decide to buy the mold star 30 thanks :)

[@joshbaker4769]

I think you did a great job .....the only thing I would suggest is the use of measuring cups glass if you can and a spatula the molding will pull out of the glass no problem and there no guessing on the needed quantity.

[@Uleidiarmad]

Very nice job sir. if it don't put you to too much inconvenience I'd like to know how much mold star 30 have you used in total . Beautiful scenography indeed. Congratulations!

[@gaminggeek241]

I used the whole trial kit which is about two cups worth for this mold. You have to just guess about how much you need depending on the size of your master.

[@missmisiowa]

thank you for the instructions. this is awesome. i am wondering what would be the best way to cast these pieces with tiny magnets embedded in the bases?>

[@Vesdus]

I'd probably suggest cutting into the bases and gluing in the magnets after the model cures instead. It's a little more work, but it's a lot more precise.

[@JesusvonNazaret]

I wish I'd have the patience to do such things

[@miloradmedunic6202]

great work!

[@jeandiaz7339]

I have a question that i hope you can help me with... what is the material used for the master frame?? Since i am cluless would be really helpful if tell us tnks again for teaching and sharing us your knowledge I really enjoy your chanel i think one of the Bear you can find!

[@dark96744]

is that 2 part Polyurethane resin you were using and if so how many casts did you get before having to remake the mold?

[@Painfulwhale360]

Thanks for the video. In your experience does mold star 30 tend to tear easily or no? Also, have you casted concrete in it? I'm wondering how many times you can cast concrete before it degrades

[@gaminggeek241]

It doesn't tear easily and is quite resilient. I didn't poor concrete but I did do 2-part resin which does degrade the mold--I was able to get about fifty pours in it so I imagine concrete would be about the same.

[@mythology0007]

Genius!! Can I order these from you!?!

[@darkpath6234]

Would a make up brush help for spreading powder? Btw would you recommend using baby powder when casting plaster?

[@jonchappellnow]

I love this! My son and I are planning on reproducing your great tutorial as a summer project, but we're brand new to using molds. If I understand it right, you made an initial copy of the Hirst Arts mold in the pink color, and then made this larger copy based upon the walls you made from that pink mold. My question is, in order to make that initial pink copy of the Hirst Arts mold, did you make plastic walls using the original Hirst Arts mold, knowing that the plastic, as you said, might damage the original Hirst Arts?

[@pastuh]

Can someone suggest alternatives.. No one sell Mold Star 30 in my country..

[@Ploituful]

I'm looking to make your project for zombicide and I was wondering if you would recommend using plaster to make the pieces needed to make the mold?

[@BLDTHEGAMER]

What would you suggest for walls and towers and barricades and flame for castle panic?

[@DarthNoshess]

Will mold Star hold up under 60psi?

[@heidirobles-sanchez5581]

thanks it really helpful

[@michaelbrock6222]

how big of a mold can you make out this kit

[@drakemallard4459]

About how expensive is this per "batch"?

[@hobbyhuman9499]

Where did you get the original pieces you used to make the molds?

[@sueparks3488]

Love it!

[@roncon3174]

Thank you for this!

[@focusedprojections4682]

where did you get the original molf drom?

[@gamescomicsetc.7366]

Hi do you sell that type of mold? and if you do how can I contact you? I normally buy from eBay.

[@ylekaikyle]

When did you switch from dental plaster to plastic?

[@gaminggeek241]

I still mostly cast in plaster (hydrostone). I'm casting in plastic here because I know I'll be carting this game around a lot and didn't want to worry about the pieces breaking. I can just throw them in a bag and not worry about them.

The guy on this video sounds exactly like Jamie a guy that works for Joe Rogan and who pulls up videos for Joe to watch while taping.

[@brendanolasco6884]

What is the difference 15 end 30 ??

[@gaminggeek241]

I can't remember but I think it has to do with the "hardness" of the mold.

[@TheMacdreamcatcher]

nice one
