Silicone Mould Making - Marbled Resin Action Figures

[@slimehousetv]

Bro your an actual genius, so impressed with your problem solving, absolute legend, thanks so much for being a part of this project 🙌🙌

[@RainbowYawn]

Thanks mate, appreciate you entrusting me with your baby! I’m sure the Sofubi version will do well, I gotta get me one!! 💚💚💚

[@tonymenendez1262]

Glad to see you back on the KZbins Uncle Matters!

[@RainbowYawn]

Cheers Tone Tone, feels good to be back! 💚

Dang after watching this It's the most thorough video I've seen Much respect

[@RainbowYawn]

Thank you, hope it helps! 💚

[@nostalgiaflipnfix]

Always a delight when you drop a new video. Amazing work!

Nice to see you back. Loving your work.

[@eye_made_this]

Dude, this video is excellent!

[@RainbowYawn]

Cheers man! 💚

I really like the cap mold idea for a figure's arms (even though two part molds aren't really my thing). For a time, I was also trying to figure out a good way around the "funnel marks" left behind by the pour spouts (and before anyone tells me to "jUsT sAnD Em OfF", by all means, have fun trying to sand FlexIt90 resin) but thanks to you, I won't have to anymore 😂

[@RainbowYawn]

I feel your pain! Those flexible resins are a real bugaboo to sand down, It tends to just ball up

[@Skullatoran]

Thank you so much for this video, I've been wanting to try and make my own art toys for some time now and this helps immensely!

[@knyght27]

Lot of great tips in here, makes me want to give resin casting another go

[@RainbowYawn]

Hop on in, the resin’s just right! 💦

[@RetroCollector1990]

Very interesting video, enjoyed seeing the creative/ behind the scenes footage as to how these little guys were created. Love my Swamp Assault TURGORE! Thank you for showing the process of his creation. 👍

[@RainbowYawn]

Thank you, Glad you’re enjoying your Turgore! 💚

[@NPC-nn4qe]

The head reminds me of the Cacodemons from the first Doom game.

[@RainbowYawn]

That was the inspiration behind him! ❤️

[@plastic.rain-xyz]

Gold video! I've learnt a lot! Thank you so much. Please do more 😊

[@jasonvoorhees4236]

Cacodemon with a full body.

[@PolycultureArt]

Siikkkkkkk!

[@morMICRO]

amazing work, so cool. I have a question, did you have problems with the silicone curing because of the 3d print resin? I've heard this can happen and sounds scary to try.

[@RainbowYawn]

Thank you! I had no issues with the silicone curing with the prints Theo provided 💚

[@squatchbreath]

Thanks for this Uncle Matty! I’ve always wanted to see a long form video of your process. Is there a reason why you use tin cure resin over platinum cure? Im fairly new to toy making and nobody has recommended tin cure to me personally.

[@RainbowYawn]

Thank you, glad you liked the vid. I can’t confirm that tin cure is definitely better in all areas (eg longevity) than platinum cure silicone as I haven’t used platinum much, but to my experience some of the benefits of tin cure are: 1) Cheaper 2) More forgiving to use - Platinum cure silicone often will not cure properly when in contact with glues, paints and other materials. 3) Tin cure does not require pressurising when mould making - Platinum cure silicone usually requires being put in a pressure pot to get bubbles out which can cause complications if the original parts you are moulding are hollow. Platinum cure is often considered a superior product to tin cure, but that is possibly due it being a food safe material. Unless you plan on making edible figures, I’m not sure the benefits of platinum cure outweigh the benefits of tin cure when it comes to resin casting. This is only my experience though, I’m by no means an expert. I’d be interested to hear about the benefits of platinum cure silicone if anyone has more experience with it than me. Sorry for the essay 😂 Hope this helps 💚🙏

[@squatchbreath]

Definitely does. Thank you Uncle Matty! Love your work and I’ll be following any content you put up.

[@SkuzzBucket]

These flex resins only have a 2 minute pot life, how can you do the marbling effect with such a short time to work with rhe material? Thanks for all the info!

[@RainbowYawn]

I usually get around 4-6 minutes pot life with this resin I’m using. If your resin is setting too quickly, maybe try refrigerating the resin briefly before use or storing in a cool place. They set a lot slower when cool 👌

[@aberdale]

Any thoughts as to what stores or equipment we should frequent if we wanted to replicate your process for our own molds? I tried using materials from Michael’s here in the USA and the molds crack :(

[@RainbowYawn]

Sorry I’m not familiar with stores or products in the USA. I’ve used RTV Tin cure silicone from a couple of different companies here in the UK (MBFibreglass & EasyComposites) but tin cure silicone possibly deteriorates quicker in hot weather. I’d consider storing your molds in a zip lock plastic bag to help keep the juicy freshness locked in 💚

[@StealthMockingbird]

Just saying, your friend didn't design the character. It's a Cacodemon from DOOM which came out in 1993.

[@RainbowYawn]

@@StealthMockingbird Well spotted genius

[@StealthMockingbird]

@@RainbowYawn Just clarifying. Obviously it was needed.
