Mold Making Tutorial: Turning a Clay Sculpture Into a Metal Cold Casting

[@smoothon]

Watch Milo turn his sculpture into a real metal cold casting!

Fun to watch as always Milo. Can you showcase and talk about some workshop tools and machines that are useful for mold making and casting in one of your videos?

[@smoothon]

Hey! Thanks for dropping by and leaving such a positive comment. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! I'll talk with Milo about making a video on workshop tools and machines for mold making and casting! Stay tuned, my friend!

Amazing! Great use of the filler, gonna give it a go!

[@smoothon]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you found the video helpful. Good luck with your own project!

[@АртурТимо]

I would like to see links to the components you use in the video description. I would happily purchase and replicate what you do, and I think beginners like me would do the same

[@smoothon]

Thank you for the suggestion! We have updated the video description with all the products that we used. Hope this helps. If you have further questions let us know.

"Milo - Maker of Molds" - if that's not on his business card, it SHOULD be! It sounds so medieval. 😏 Today's coincidence: a big ol' brick of Plastilina arrived at my house. Best wishes from Vermont ❄️

[@smoothon]

Thank you for your kind words! I agree, "Milo - Maker of Molds" does have a medieval ring to it. Best wishes to you too!

Great video. What's the best way to keep bubbles forming in the face coat?

[@smoothon]

Typically you don't get bubbles because the face coat is brushed into the mold. Brushing helps to break any bubbles that might be present from the mixing process. Talcum powder always helps to break any surface tension and will allow the resin to flow easier in the mold.

What material did you make the silicone containment box?

[@smoothon]

Hi, Thanks for watching. The mold box is made from foam core boards. You can purchase it online from a number of different places. We use it because it is easy to cut and is inexpensive.

Why use Smooth Cast instead of something like Duo Matrix Neo? What are the pros and cons of each for cold casting?

[@smoothon]

Thanks for watching. Both materials will produce a fantastic cold casting! It will depend on what you are looking for. Neo will be heavier in weight than Smooth-Cast 325 will. Smooth-Cast allows us the ability to back fill the casting with a much lighter weight material. Neo gives a very nice finish because it is a gypsum. So it will depend what you are looking for. If you have further questions you can reach out to our technical support team. www.smooth-on.com/support/ticket/add/agree/ Thanks for watching!
