Molding & Casting MASKS! - Mask MADNESS Part 2

Got a great idea. You guys both wear glasses and pretty much have to take those of when wearing those masks. That is a problem for many people with stronger glasses. How about a 'how to' where you incorporate the glasses so you can actually see something when you wear that mask.

[@scotthay2330]

thats a great idea !

[@perigosu8449]

Make a design of a mask that incorporates the lenses you have (at appropriate distance from your face, etc.). You can take the lenses and add some masking tape on top so you don't scratch them in the process. Sculpt the mask with the lenses in place (make sure you sculpt a frame/border around them). Make a mold and cast it the same way they did it in the video... then cut out the plastic from the area where the lenses are supposed to be and glue them in from behind (might require some sanding/dremeling or a little bit of epoxy/sugru to make it fit the way you want). I mean if you can follow this video along and actually make a mask, you shouldn't have too much trouble incorporating some lenses. If you're still unsure - there's a pretty in-depth video on Stan Winston School site... Bruce D Mitchell made some masks that incorporated goggles... but the process/materials he used are different.

[@perigosu8449]

[@brainvom1t]

What always amuses me about prop making in the US is the availability and low cost of the materials. The shelves of mold on gear in the opening scene! There is only one place in Ireland that sells Mold on. I get cheaper silicone form the North but there really is not the demand here to allow the low cost. Always funny when I hear " I got this for $4.99 from my local Target" sign.

[@josuelservin2409]

Yup, same here in Mexico, some products are near impossible to get or prohibitive expensive. But with a lot of research, and creativity one can make do with the things that are available, for example last year I made a mask with paper mache, body filler and whole lot of sanding.

[@kerricaine]

i know the feeling...even here in canada, nowhere you can buy this stuff on shelves. when i got the test kit, it cost 40$ and shipping was 50$

[@shellshockedprops]

I get my Smooth On stuff shipped from NL as its cheaper than France, I just checked the distributor list and chose the best one- www.smooth-on.com/distributors/

[@HelloValkyrie]

Thanks so much for the advice on longer (fang-like) teeth-even though y'all didn't sculpt them! I've been agonizing over how to cast a mask i've been working on for months now, and I never had the thought to just cast the teeth separately! Motivation renewed!

Huzzah! Sometimes it's the most effective way to cast something complex.

I should have waited for part two haha! My dad and I used plaster for the mold as a one-use thing. This is a far better system, albeit far more expensive. I also used a mix of fiberglass and bondo because I wanted it to be armored. This is a great prop way though and I cant wait to try it!

Once you use silicone to make molds like this you'll never go back. It's so good!

[@Y2Kikii]

Love this tutorial, I'm currently using this process to make a mold of a large paperclay mask I made. I ended up not having enough rebound 25 to completely cover the mask's last layer...I have to order more online. Will it be ok if I let it sit in the shop for a few days while I wait for more rebound to ship in the mail and than make a final last thick layer? It's probably going to be a full week till I can put the last layer...

That's a "kingpin" from a tractor/trailer. It's the main pivot behind the front steer wheels on the truck.

[@DTCFilms]

I will have to use the cold casting on the Darth Nihilus mask that I make once I do a version 2 of the mold. I have found that a two part jacket mold works a lot better on the half face masks. When I built mine I removed the clay wall so that the jacket/mother mold can undercut the rebound 25. This way it locks the silicone in and you don’t need to use clamps to lock your edges. I am an avid watcher of your channel and love that you respond to questions on Twitter, I’m @thedravencorvus. Thank you and I will see you in the next build.

[@punishedprops]

That's a fantastic way to do it! =)

[@davidvdbergen]

I've noticed you guys pouring silicone and Urethane resin like there is no tomorrow.. But I figured out why..It turns out PU resin and silicone is TWICE as expensive here in the Netherlands!! I calculated that in the US Smooth cast 300 costs (sorry for the conversion) €10.80 per liter, in the Netherlands Smooth cast 300 costs €21.55 per liter!!!! So almost exactly double! Question; what would you do if all your materials suddenly were twice as expensive?

[@Dontherug26]

For the print coat you could have used a thinning agent to get the details a little bit easier, tapping the brush on it could possibly add texture you don't want. Naphtha will dissolve monster clay and get the mold really clean. If you had a little bit of soapy water you can rub the silicone with your fingers before it sets to get that smooth as well. It also helps if you had usable keys. When there is no uniformity in the texture of the silicone it can be difficult to seat the silicone in the mother mold and possibly cause deformities. Overall another great video!

[@punishedprops]

Great tips all around!

[@harlequin_adeArchived]

Question if you just wanted a mask without added too much colour would thermoplastic be good. you would sculpting it with clay and just use thermoplastic just to create the mask you want?

I use 100 % window silicone for casting and sprayfoam insulation (great-stuff) for my mother molds....flexible and durable and cheeep .

[@pires53]

Hi Bill On teh back of the masks can I use plaster? That simple construction plaster or maybe orthopedic plaster bandages

[@punishedprops]

Are you wanting to back the resin cast with plaster or actually cast the mask using plaster instead of resin? You could try doing a cast in plaster but it's MUCH more brittle than resin and will shatter if dropped. Plaster bandages could work but you'd want to be careful with how detailed your mold is, as the plaster bandages won't capture the same level of detail.

Hey bill! I have question. i love the work you are doing. i am a big fan of the channel and you are one of the reasons i got to foamsmithing. i have been working with foam for some time now and i thought i should start experimenting with molds and casts and see how that goes. i was wondering if it is possible to mold a prop made out of eva foam. would that work? would the prop be destroyed? should i cover the foam prop with anything before pouring the silicone? Thank you in advance.

[@punishedprops]

That's something we haven't really tried before.

@@punishedprops thanks for answering! i might try it my self with a small mold just so i can see how that goes!

[@legeekdadcosplay]

Great Video and awesome design. Whenever I try to wear a mask that was cast with smooth-cast, I find it starts getting uncomfortable really fast. Do you have any recommends for a liner make it more comfortable?

[@punishedprops]

You could get some cheap felt from a craft store and glue that down on contact points, or do the same with some thin upholstery foam to add a little padding. It's also possible some edges might need to be sanded down a little for more comfort!

[@a.c.dremix4272]

This is so cool! I would love to try this one day!! But I was wondering (I think I know the answer but I just want to clarify for if I were to do it) Bill, did you let the smooth cast 300 resin set completely before you put the onyx or did you let it reach a gel phase (idk if the 300 gets to that point or how it works😅) and then put the onyx? Again btw, this is like super uber cool, esp Nick's wizardry with the bone mask, and I am in love with Bill's mask!!

[@BeginningGenesis]

@@punishedprops also question, you guys use expensive silicon molding for a mother molds, which enables you to make more, but is there a way to make a single use mold or is that kinda pointless to try to mold it then. Also do you guys like fiberglass structuring with silicon or straight silicon molds?

[@punishedprops]

You can definitely make a single use mold, but for bigger, complicated things, it's worth making a good silicone mold. For tiny things, clay push molds might be enough. Kind of how we molded the hex screw heads in clay and poured silicone into the indentations, you could do the same, but pour resin into the clay.

It's risky to make the mask too thin, otherwise the resin will likely crack. For a mask that fits like a second skin you'll want to look into making one with silicone or latex.
