[@Momcat6]

Thank you! I had a favorite silicone mold split and wish I had a back up. This is perfect!

[@AG-hx6qn]

Yes!! Finally more thermoplastic ideas. Thanks :) I don't see a lot if videos using this awesome material.

[@Miriam_Acuña]

Nunca lo oí nombrar. Es la primera vez que lo veo. Dónde se puede conseguir? para qué se lo usa?

[@harvey195]

So cool, so I could go to the old cemetery down the street and make a plastic mold of the carving on top and make plaster duplicates at home.

[@debrajol3585]

Seems like you could if you have enough of the beads and a thermos of hot water. And maybe something to help with straight edges or the shaping of it. Happy Arting 🌹

[@Rayyvyn]

Please ONLY do this if you have permission ! Some carvings are very delicate & can be ruined quite easily,esp when pulling the cooled thermoplastic off, which is why most won't allow charcoal rubbings, etc

[@Rayyvyn]

I don't know why I didn't think of this, lol, great hack,esp since you can then after just remelt the thermoplastic for more molds.. I have a bunch of 25 yr old soft molds that are deteriorating, though I might use cardboard around some, so fine details don't get squished out of whack.Thanks !

[@DoasIDo1]

Happy to help!

Amazing ! Kisses from Brazil ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@DoasIDo1]

Thank you very much!

[@ScottAuch]

Problem with using thermoplastic like this (in pliable form) - it tends to pull back from a mold as it cools. Also, soft molds require pushing the plastic into finer details, which distorts the shape of the final piece. Obvious when you wrap an object with it, the cooled plastic will always be loose fitting. Thermoplastic is very useful, but has its limitations.

[@cesarramirez7316]

So mold a mold of a mold that was already molded ? Well molded, I mean noted.

[@IntoThatGreatGoodNight]

I always make a secondary mold because silicone does have shelf life and molds get dull. I do this _immediately_ upon receiving the mold. I keep an original casting as well so I can remake the mold at any time. Of course, I have a functioning art studio with plenty of storage. The folks who do their art on their kitchen table (not a bad thing!) may not be so lucky, so I understand that. So, this is extremely good info.

[@MichelePTL]

also you can make 2 at one time too !

[@MB-el9qn]

Cuz silicone mold is expensive, and for business you need more than 1 mold with same shape to make more products at same time

Love it thank you for sharing

[@deborahharris2962]

Great. I like that the plastic is reusable and used to make copies of molds, make you own from an object you have then recycle to use like one would do with clay, plaster or resin. When you recycle are you able to use to make orcipy a mold or only to cast it. Hi would you do a 3D object? I have a small Balinese carving I'd like to copy, would you use this and the method? Subscribed 😀

[@DoasIDo1]

Thank you very much! I think this method is good for simple molds. I wouldn't make very complex molds this way, although it is doable.

You didn’t state what you added to the silicone with the dropper at the 2:43 mark. I’m curious if it was an oil or just water. Thanks for the video and in advance for the answer. 🙂

[@DoasIDo1]

This is a hardener (catalyst) for silicone. Liquid silicone for making molds consists of 2 elements, the silicone itself and the hardener. Silicone is always sold with the hardener in the kit.

[@iknownothing-49]

It might have helped to follow if the thermoplastic mold was a different color then the silicon mold of the mold of the mold. All white hurt my brain!

[@ScottAuch]

There are color (beads) that can be mixed into the polybeads (when warm) to create different colors.

Hi, this is great 👍. Is this Polyvinyl Alcohol?

Hi, thank you! Honestly I don't know

[@IamAli89]

Hahaha lol, I wish that would be PVA, coz the PVA is cheap but it's not, but it's very close to something like that. Anyway I tried my luck to make a Mold with PVA but it didn't work. Your work is awesome 👍🎉

Can you please tell us the curing time, how long did you unmold those?

[@denicegirardeau7110]

@@IamAli89 unmolding as soon as it cools (turns white. You can run cold water on it to make it cool faster). So minutes, rather than hours

Instead of thermoplastic you can just use a gluegun with hot melt glue.

What was in the dropper that you put into the silicone?

[@DoasIDo1]

Catalyst for silicone to start it hardening.

Can you pour epoxy resin into the polymorph mold?

[@DoasIDo1]

It is possible, but in small quantities so that the resin does not boil, otherwise the mold will melt.

Thermoplastic costs more than the mold itself

and it is reusable
