[@orlandobarrios7272]

Hey man here just to say thanks, this is what i call professional n quality!

[@GraceNoteForge]

Thank you so much 😁🙏

[@cornershopclub5761]

Soooo good, easy to follow too! I started making a chain and was wondering how to replicate the mold at home without the expensive costs behind doing so! Thankyou!

[@GraceNoteForge]

Thank you for watching! Best of luck with making your own mold!

[@alexdumbreck9729]

This video was awesome! Thank you so much, way more affordable than those wax injection machines! (Fun little project too)

[@GraceNoteForge]

Happy it helped! thanks for watching 😄

So kewl to see someone doing it the same way I do - im a big fan of diy and "on the cheap", lol 😏👍 Great video, thank you. Couple things that helped me - 1 - I cut air vents after de-molding the item 2 - I microwave my mold to heat it before injecting wax (cant guarantee what its doing to the life of the mold) 3 - I made a long tube on my injector instead of the tip like you have. Personal preference, but I get my silicone from silicones inc. GI 1000 10 to 1 Ive tried many and love working with this stuff - long library life.

[@GraceNoteForge]

Thank you for the tips! 😃 I've never tried that silicone but I'll have to look into it.

[@ripleyhush]

Thank you for another great video!

Good , I liked the way to put air vents, I normally cut air vents in v shape as many as I like so the pattern is filled completely with out any flaw. And now I will try 1mm dia wire to attach to the master, as air vents. And I never use talcum powder , as I want every pattern to be highly polished as the master model, I have prepared. My two cents. May all be happy and at ease free from dis-ease.

Man’s genius

[@TheRealDToTsO]

Love the info and videos!! Much appreciated!! What type of video setup do you have, very nice quality!

[@GraceNoteForge]

Thank you so much! I use a little Panasonic LUMIX LX10 mostly, with a small overhead LED panel for lighting 😁

[@TheRealDToTsO]

@@GraceNoteForge Ahh ok, thanks! I have a camera set-up I still need to figure how to use and get better details. Can't wait to someday make molds for casting stuff. In time!!

[@tomgrimes2674]

This is a great video! I’ve just got one question if it’s okay? How do you know where to place the vents? For example, I’m trying to cast a simple signet (with an engraving in the wax top), and I’m finding that I continuously get incomplete castings. Only one of 10 attempts has been successful. Any tips for rings? Would you consider making a mould of your lion head ring in a tutorial?

[@S.erwinsdottir]

Is it possible to do it without vacuum pump? 😅 I'm a beginner and more homemade. If possible... how? I have a simpler shape I want to do.

[@neins]

If I understand correctly I can use any type of silicon? Like platinum or tin

[@creativecomposites6193]

Another great video! If you dont mind me asking, how did you manage to cut the silicon island in the top of the pendant?

[@GraceNoteForge]

Thank you! I like to slowly cut along the outside profile (keeping in mind where I want the seem to be). Then when the inside island is easier to get to, I try to gently stretch the silicone and cut along the center so that the wax releases easily on both sides of the mold. Hope that makes sense 😅

[@BrittDierick]

Thank you for this video!!

[@GraceNoteForge]

Thank you for watching! 😁

Un molde de hule comun del usado para vulcanizar llantas,tiene unas propiedades increibles,el molde en cuestión se ahoha por espaciode 24hs.en petroleo,el mold se incha y la figura grabada aumenta el 500/100,entonces colamos parafina y obtenemos una copia pero mucho mas grande a un costo bajo.proceso "jonapru",intentelo es libre.

[@bysykler4959]

Hi Josiah, can you please tell me where you source your sticky wax from? My research shows a number of options online with mixed reviews. Yours seems effective. Thanks!

[@GraceNoteForge]

It's Sculpture House Microcrystalline Wax. It's a soft/sticky modeling wax that works great for casting. I get mine at Black art supplies: bit.ly/36eeNml

[@TheHackitup]

Hi! im trying to find the mold frame that you used and the ebay listing is no longer live and i cant seem to find the correct search terms to find what im looking for, is there any chance you could point me in the correct direction?

[@GraceNoteForge]

Sorry about that! If you search "RTV mold frame" or "castaldo mold frame" I'm sure you'll see what you're looking for 😊

[@katbandit3190]

What are the specs of your mold frame? The link for it is no longer working
