Out of all the videos this one is the best for beginners. You explained it thoroughly and made it simple to understand and thanks to you my first casting was a success!

[@victoriapitt2305]

Awesome!! :-)

[@auxpower13]

Great job, Victoria! Thank you for taking the time to make such a thorough and informative video. Thanks to Smooth-On also for making it easy.

[@cathyrodammer4190]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have a small nativity that I bought at the dollar store, it’s surprisingly well detailed. I’ve tried so hard to make a mold of this, but because of the lantern and the staff, I couldn’t make it work this two-part mold, is a godsend, and so are you❤️

[@julieabraham102]

Love your straightforward and super-clear explanations:. Very good on using time efficiently for the viewer. Much appreciated.

[@MrBearslock]

Thank you for taking the time to do this video. Very informative and well done.

[@ownsacat]

I always wanted to know how to do a 2 part mold. Those are my favourite ones to use. Thank you for this video.

[@debbieabbott5503]

Amazing and your videos are fantastic, well explained and makes me want to get started on art projects. Thank u so much 💓

[@animalyze7120]

Very well presented and detailed, probably the best 2 part mold making/Casting tutorial I've seen. I use this for my plastic model kits usually to make up missing or broken pieces, I literally mold the entire sprues/runners and keep the copies in the original box for use later as I get many incomplete kits from estate sales and such. Your method is spot on to mine except now I might try the brand you are using. Great video Victoria!

[@lindaw505]

Outstanding video!! Very clear and informative- Thank you 😊

[@rickietaylor6760]

Best tutorial on the subject I've watched. I actually feel confident about trying this thanks to your explanation and demonstration.

[@SOMadeByYou]

Great to hear!

[@mizzourita3896]

Was not watching the video as I was doing my own thing with some resin when you pulled it out of the mixing cup, scared the hell out of me! 😂

[@stephaniesteele8958]

Thank you!! Great tutorial!! ❤️

[@SOMadeByYou]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@alerey4363]

Outstanding quality of the final result and even better detailed step-by-step explanation with a nice soft voice (every other casting video sucks in all these areas).Subscribed!

[@victoriapitt2305]

Ha ha thank you!

Excellent instructions

[@Ibaneddie76]

Great video!

[@dominikvdovski996]

Dear Victoria! Congratulations on this video - very informative and helpful, you sure know what you are doing. And it's a rare thing to see someone knowing how to pour liquid out of cubic container without jumping and waving of the liquid. And the double mix! Not many tutorials shows the importance of this step. Warmest greetings! Dominik, sculptor from Poland.

[@victoriapitt2305]

Appreciate the positive feedback!

[@nickkemp4979]

This is great. Thanks for this. I plan on making a silicone mold out of a 3D print which I then want to use for lost wax metal casting.

[@SOMadeByYou]

Go for it!

[@Garcia....]

Excellent!!! Great tutorial, too easy to follow! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍👍👍 helpful 😃

[@deskofswitzer4224]

@Victoria P., This is the fifth video I watched. The others were made by professional craftsman, and this video was the best. Clear and Simply process. I"m going to use your video first to make a two piece mold.

[@victoriapitt2305]

Thank you! and good luck!! 😊

[@draiyko]

Brilliantly done. Thankyou...

[@victoriapitt2305]

You're so welcome!

[@jessecartelli5422]

Thank you ! Looks great

[@SOMadeByYou]

Glad you like it!

[@astridvallati4762]

Being a Film Gun supplier, we have up to now relied on outside Replica casters ( Hard Fibreglass and Soft Rubber Stunt Items.) Its good to have a Tutorial on DIY silicone mould making. Furthermore, I would make a Plywood Frame around both Mould Halves ( Cope and Drag) to prevent damage in Handling. Just got to find the Components here in Australia.

[@victoriapitt2305]

I just recently overheard someone talking about Rowe Advanced Materials, in AU!

[@jhaircorrea184]

gracias, el resultado es muy bueno.

[@periwinklepony5625]

Thank you for the tutorial! Will the silicone withstand very hot temperatures like melted glass or melted sugar?

[@hollymedici2936]

great video full of info thank you

[@victoriapitt2305]

Thank you!

[@baabakazimi6851]

So much useful, tnx

[@dimetruth]

So helpful.

[@RavenRaven-se6lr]

Nice job

[@Sichel22]

Great Video ! Good work there!

[@SOMadeByYou]

Thank you very much!

[@Renderings783]

thanks great idea

[@demonhogo]

i love this so much. Would this process work for something concave and thin ( 1/4 inch) like a helmet visor? I want to resin cast a sci-fi style visor from a 3d print.

[@gollypeeters4824]

Bravo !

[@oussamachdaoui3110]

thanks for sharing

[@SmockPhotography]

Thank you so much can any mold release spray be used?

[@seamsewfine]

Oh my goodness! I tried watching another video prior to this and he really just had me rethinking everything. ( I do not mean to be negative about another person, but he really liked the sound of his own voice) But then I found you! You explained everything so very well and had each step indicated that was important. So thank you so much for making this and sharing your talent! Your bears are really great. I am going to attempt to make a missing piece of a one of a kind chess set, wish me luck!

[@victoriapitt2305]

You got this!! (I notice you posted 2 months ago, how did it turn out?!!)

[@jagodarogulja1436]

please, one more piece of advice: the model for which I want to make a model according to your tutorial is made of wood. how can I protect it before work? is it enough to varnish it with acrylic varnish?

[@luzgomez645]

Can I use air dry clay slip to make the mold at the end?

[@1whowasNEVERhere]

Dope!

[@llppooll]

선생님 잘보고 갑니다❤

[@mzm2644]

Fantastic VIDEO!!!

[@akidoalleyne7983]

I love this 😀 ❤️ 😍 💗 I want to try 😋

[@victoriapitt2305]

Dooo it! you got this!

[@blaketarpley8174]

How did you not get any bubbles in the casting? Did you skip the step where you removed them with heat before pouring?

[@Ashes2ashes1111]

I have that same exact glass bear!!!!

[@SOMadeByYou]

We must have the same exceptional taste in glass bears! 😉

[@rekayasateknik7979]

Thanks video tutorial

[@deckix7204]

really impressed

[@SOMadeByYou]

Thank you so much!

[@deckix7204]

I’m actually half way through attempting this. First half of the mould I did last night and is currently setting 😊.

[@dpeate]

Fantastic video! Could I use this technique for a small 12" cardboard/paper mache animal head? Thanks.

[@DanSwanson2070]

You can fill the mold with water and measure that to find the volume also

[@edhesner3773]

Victoria, I need to make one small part, not much more than about an inch long, to replace a missing part in a plastic model kit. Seems like it would be awfully expensive for such a small part to purchase all those materials. Would there be any better way to do it?

[@eazypeazyenglish7244]

Is that resin you used to cast bear model???

[@stevenr4]

Did the Ease Release 200 not change the surface texture of the object? It says on the website that it is matte, and I'd imagine that all future castings would also be matte.

[@victoriapitt2305]

The ER 200 can sometimes leave a satin finish, but I found my casting were shiny enough for me. I believe the Ease Release line has other sprays that are more geared towards high gloss.

[@ramgladore]

I wonder if this would work with the silicone method I found using gelatin and glycerin. I'm trying to make casting of my 3d printed fantasy minis but it doesn't seem to work too well using disposable cups.

[@linhuiming]

If you are using a 3D-printed UV resin model as a master model, you should be aware that it may inhibit the curing of platinum-cured silicone.🚩🀄

[@jagodarogulja1436]

You have prepared a wonderful video. Thank you because you said and showed everything simply but very precisely. please, can you help me: can I use vaseline instead of "ease release 200"?

[@victoriapitt2305]

I know some people mix Vaseline with mineral spirits as a release when casting silicone into silicone, but I do not know how it works against resins.

[@mmobarez1]

thaaaaaaaaaaank you

[@janntybev97gh]

love it! Genuine question: i wonder if one can get prosecuted if they sold the duplicated items which are identical to the original mould/model?

[@victoriapitt2305]

I do think this is possible. Generally a good idea not to replicate anything and resell without the original artists/company's permission. In this video the glass bear was unmarked but to be safe only used for demonstration purposes.

[@Farideh-honar]

خیلی عالی. شما واقعا یک هنرمند هستید. ❤
