'BONKERS' | My LONGEST video yet. | Making Silicone Character Molds

Mannn, I had a time making molds of this larger version of "AGUA".
I expected this to be EASY, but I ran into problems, and I document what it took for me to finally get production molds.

Also in this video: Header card design, DIY space character in progress, LUMECUBE LED light review, silicone mold venting techniques, and more.

3D Scanning by ArtLab 3D:


MATERIALS USED: *
Mold Star 15 Slow Silicone


Mold Max 40 Silicone


Krylon Acrylic Sealer


Smooth-Cast 65d resin


Smooth-Cast 45d resin (translucent)


NOTE: When making silicone molds of 3D prints, some print resins inhibit the cure of silicone, as shown in this video. I got Mold Star to work with my 3D print after it was sealed with the acrylic spray. But Mold Max, being tin-cure silicone, worked even without the sealer. The tradeoff is tin-cure molds don't have as long a life, and this particular one isn't as flexible.
