Making Resin Copies of My Bus Lights

[@AndrewJimmy2011]

I’d be interested in seeing a more in depth video on making those light covers. Making your own ones at home would never even had crossed my mind, cool project!

I second this, I tried doing tail light years ago and failed miserably.

Came for a tail light resin mold and didnt get any of that process... They turned out so good and would love if you did another one..

Very informative. I was saddened today finding out that Brick in the Yard is no longer open. They were a wealth of knowledge. I'm going to be making a custom third brake light for a custom car build. I recently found that car companies and aftermarket lights were available in the late 40's early 50's, but they are extremely difficult to find complete. Thanks again for the inspiration Have a great day 😎👍👍

Adding your dog in the video was a great touch! 🔥

[@Mr_Hobbies_Experiments]

You have a good job keep it up Thanks for sharing

Silicon mold comes in tin cure and platinum cure. The curing can be inhibited by particular things you cast in it, so if one doesn't work, try the other type.

[@jessejohnson159]

My personal experience with casting parts like a similar taillight and other clear items like a '57 Ford Truck automatic transmission shift indicator is that the materials for the casting are 'very' expensive! Then there's the cost of a vacuum chamber, vacuum pump and for some products, an oven for higher temp curing plastics. But, at the end of your video, you covered THAT issue! 😍

I see my dog isn’t the only one that licks the lens!! 😂😂

[@DavidCousins]

Nicely done.

[@badw01f23]

That's cool. I always wondered what the purpose of the different patterns was on the tail lights. Looks kinda trippy.

[@Billo-07]

The pattern just spreads light out, so the bulb doesn't shine through in the one spot

[@darren_clark]

Very cool!

[@Meseretteferi-ow9vk]

What kind of resin you used

My hobby is old pick up trucks. More often than not the lenses for the stop, turn, etc. lights are missing or broken, or sun damaged. The steel housing will still be good, but the lenses are kaput. I would like to see a video on making a mold for a taillight lens

[@smoll.miniatures]

It’s takes 20% to get to 80%. The last 20% is 80% of the work.

[@stevegroark2034]

You might be able to make yellow for turn signals and red for brake. Just so long as they match the DOT rules.

[@TheBigO-k6g]

I think he knows that.

Hello, How bout sunlight? They are gettin softer in the Sun. Any solition for it?

[@bottomofthemap696]

Did you just pour the epoxy and then press the two molds together? Or how did that work

[@WheresJimToday]

Why not replace the black painted lenses with amber ones?

[@TheWebstaff]

Sam can you add your resin to the description. Also looks like most of your supplies are out of stock.

[@alexb4962]

Have you considered making a channel specifically for your finished projects to draw in a wider audience and directing them to this channel where your work is explained in more detail?

[@SophiaLee-ws3ff]

Hi sir very nice work..do you teach me.

[@gsteele9443]

put speakers in the upper light holes...4:35

[@TylerRyanCarter]

Hi have some headlight I need doing if you would be up for it ?

[@makingcookingfixing]

Do. you still need the headlight?

[@Paul_Lane]

You should check out brink in the yard’s KZbin channel they have some great videos on molding, very educational.

[@PartsandStuff]

Coolio

[@daquellejones264]

Would you be able to make some taillights for me?

[@fierceflyer5]

I don’t think there’s anything you can’t do Sam
