Instead of a tshirt you can use dryer sheets and tear resistant paper tissues. Also mix Vaseline with turpentine. 2 parts Turpentine to 1 part Vaseline. Stirr until Vaseline is dissolved. This gets you a more spreadable mold release and makes it easier to work with. For the plaster you can buy bandages and cut those up. If you soak them in plaster before putting them on you'll have an easier time (and you can buy plaster bandages in your art store)

you can also heat up the vaseline to make it super liquid! dont go to hot though since the fumes are toxic and flammable

I don’t usually keep turp on hand, but I have some orange oil that I use for oil painting, and if you other applications where a person would normally use turp; do you have any idea as to whether or not it would be a good substitute in this particular application?
@IshanDestonКүн бұрын
@@daphneraven6745 Now mind you, i haven't tried this, but you can use anything that can be used to dilute petroleum. If Orange Oil can be used as a substitute as thinner for your oil paints, then it probably will work for dilution of the jelly. However, my experience with oil painting isn't really great. I tend to work in acrylics. Then again.. art is experimentation, so it's worth a try. Worst case, make a test piece. Like get some Thimble or something like that, mix a tiny amount of silicone and make a small flat disk with it. Then make a small patch of vaseline and orange oil, brush it on and add a little bit more silicone on top.. see if you can seperate them.

straight forward tutorial! :) but i would mind the soapy water since it acutally works as a realease agent! if you like to sculpt on your silicone (instead of brushing on) you can dump it from the cartridge into soapy water and form it into a ball of putty - but you need to work with one continuous layer or brush on a print coat first since any seams of the putty might remain visible

Could you use other cloth in place of the burlap on the mother mould? And if not what characteristics make burlap better than say gauze, cheese cloth, or denim? Great video very easy to follow.
@AndrewJosephKeith8 ай бұрын
Yeah any of those can work well and all will add strength. Just make sure the plaster soaks all the way through whatever material you use. Same with the silicone & fabric.

Hey Andrew! I watched your other mold making tutorial and I have a couple of questions... I know you prefer to used oil based clay with your sculptures and when casting molds. If I were to use WED clay for this same process, would I have to use any sort of sealant before applying anything? I have seen another tutorial of somebody making a mold around water based clay and they used clear shellac spray to coat their work before casting the mold. I was just wondering if you had any advice for that sort of thing? I know this is all a very broad topic and I could just experiment and play around but I wanted to know what you had to say first... Also I love your videos! They are very well made and super informative so thank you for what you do :) I appreciate you! - Hannah
@AndrewJosephKeith8 ай бұрын
I haven't used WED clay so I'd have to research it. someone else has probably answered the question somewhere and yes you can always try to test small amounts or small sculptures before doing larger ones. I imagine this would work but I'm not sure.

100% silicone, cornstarch, mix till it resembles silly putty, push into mold casing (aka box ), take said sculpture and coat with cornstarch before pushing evenly into the silicone mold & let it settle, rest with sculpture inside mold for 5-10min, pull out the sculpture and repeat the process on the other half of said sculpture, make sure to make a hole for the pour.
