Making a Resin Support Mold
Posted by admin in Mold Sunday, 1 January 2012 16:47 15 Comments
This is the follow up video to our brush on mold video with 71-20 silicone. Here we are making a support shell with 1512 resin thickened with PolyFiber to create a tough, rigid support mold for our flexible rubber mold.

Great, thanks! I’ll stick with plaster backing.
@jekulac Since Alginate is water based and temporary I don’t think a resin shell would be a good idea.
Can a resin support be made over an alginate mold? I’m using silicone for a final cast, and since it’s so pricey I’d rather not waste any making a silicone mold.
Also, you’re videos are great. I’m learning a lot from them, so thanks!
spell vocano again… child
@brickintheyard Thank you for your prompt reply.
@kylakae The resin is not. The silicone is non-toxic but it has not been rated for food contact.
Is this food safe?
Aww bless that child
.
@JohnnyDesaint Not sure. I have never tried something like that.
could u use this in a dashboard on a car to get rid of the cracks and make it smooth?
How hot is it.Is it as hot as the vocano? lol
@TheCrimsonEnigma 1st: weight depends on what type of resin used. You can use foam to make it light weight or filled resin (even with steel shot) to increase the weight. 2nd: I used TexClay (available on our webstore) to make this piece.
>> Alright, so I know I asked this question about the bronze version of this cast, but how much would this resin cast weigh? Would there be a considerable weight difference depending on the resin that’s used? And also, what kind of clay was used for the original object? ^^ Thank you!
wow only2 comments.
I allways keep it away from me when im mixing in the polyfiber and i pull a stupid face as im trying not to breath in the polyfiber as i mix it haha great vid
