- This video is the reason I have a mold making and resin casting channel. It remains the most watched video on the channel. I watch the video and make some comments along the way.

Since discovering your channel I keep thinking how I wish I'd known all of these things 5 years ago when I started molding and casting. So much wasted rubber, so many bubbles, so many hours bashing my head against the wall trying to figure out why my clay up molds never filled properly. Thank you sir!
SWEET LONG FORM VIDEO!!!
Wanted to come to your most recent video to express my gratitude for you!
Been binging your videos to see what ive done wrong/could do better (I'm surprised how good my wing-it attempts were at mold and wax castings) and it's like having a virtual master/apprentice relationship. I grew up going to the art shows around Los Angeles with my mom.
While she's been extremely successful, ive been trying to figure out how i could "mass produce" her work without it feeling cheap. Prints have been cool but I will feel reallt good inside if i can nail the bronze casting and open up a new venue for her sales. Being over 60 and still sculpting stuff 10 hrs a day is making me feel bad to watch 😂
Still have to put some mortar and stuff in the furnace, but again, i wanted to genuinely thank you for your spreading of knowledge that you EARNED the hard way haha.
You're a master at your craft and i appreciate you taking the time to so succinctly display it for us!
As a newbie, I appreciate(d) the more detailed approach. A mix of short and long form videos is helpful: Add a link from the short form to a more detailed set would be helpful.
Question: I know you use SilPak resins. What resin do you use for roto-casting? I'm interested in the pot life and cure time.
I tend to use the same resin for everything. Silcast 2 for general purposes. FastCast for speedy cure. If you want a slower curing resin for rotational molding, use Silplastic.
I have to admit, I have watched the original at least 10 times. There is an amazing amount of quality content in this video. Thank you for re-posting. This is why I love supporting on Patreon!
Thanks Jer!
You mentioned over explaining... that's why I like your old videos so much. You never know when someone out there is thinking "why did he do that?" Keep the content coming man, you are the mold master!
I definitely have learned the art of casting from you and have sent a lot of people to your channel. Would love to learn other aspects of the art from you though as well. I kind of feel like the mold making has played out. Excited to see what you do next.
Debunking videos would be cool!
Exposing fake videos on TikTok about castings.
Tools of the trade that are “clever or never” like on How to Cook That!
Please keep over explaining it needs to be said. Your passing an art form on to the next generation and us young fools need things explained slowly and repeatedly. Love watching and learning. Thank you for the great work!
The Number of views for that video must tell you, that you din't over explicated everything - au contraire - just the right amount of infos. Thanks.
Just wanted to say, my casts have improved immeasurably since watching your shows. Thank you!
you probably get this question a lot, but, would you approve of construction silicone (aka caulking) for use in molding?
I’ve tried it before with minimal success. It didn’t get the details. I’d love for bob to show us. Even if it is why we shouldn’t use it.
I never tried it. Silicone mold making is hard enough (for me) without using materials that are not designed for the purpose.
Have you figured out yet that we like the long form videos ?
Not always! I really enjoy the shorts!
why don't you do more projects like this Robert?
Robert!
I saw a video and thought you might end up doing a cool spin on (or even maybe you’d use it for yourself). A maker by the name of Keith Decent had made a silicone work mat so that any excess resin/spills would fill the molds in the matt and give them useful parts!
I know you have several videos featuring what you do with excess resin, but it might be neat to have a single mat for all your little work tools that you can create with the excess
28:13 - If resin craps out on me like that, i just switch brand and never look back. It's not an ordinary thing for resin to bubble up within the half hour window of use.
What kind of sticky wax do you use / where can I get it easily? I think I've tried about 3 or 4 different kinds at this point and have yet to find something that works like yours.
If i may make a suggestion, i do a lot of open face molds and i run my fingernail around the masters to clean up the silicone that leaked under them.
Bob no matter how many times I watch you make molds and cast resin is never gets old. Keep up the good work. Best regards, Richard
i need a resin recommendation - a semi rigid - somewhat flexible, that i can staple to - seat base
This was the first video of yours that I watched!
Thank you Robert
I've watched you from the beginning and I love your channel!
Bees Wax Lives !!!!
I'm a teacher myself and I can say you teach very well! It's awesome!
Thinking of it, it would be amazing to listen to your story with sculpting. I mean, you have your own workshop and it seems you've learned a lot by yourself in many years of practice. Is it a hobby? Which kind of miniature is your favorite? Where or how do you expose your creations? This kind of thing.
It's so satisfying to see someone who knows so much about something they love. Specially if it's technical and hand-made! I deal with my Warhammer and DnD miniatures too, but you're in another level of living and working with this thing!
Hi Robert, sweet video :) I watched a lot of your videos but could not find the answer, I'm new to silicone moulds, and have challenging mould to make in my opinion. How can I ask you to u a question? I will need to upload the images to explain, so commenting on RUclips will not work. The question is on partial line, where to place for best results. Thanks
I like the way you explain things. This was the video that made me subscribe. I am trying to make multiple trains for Domino's. I like referencing these to get ideas. I'm still too scared to do them but this helps!!!
Hello Robert, greetings from Brussels Belgium. How long do you leave the resin casting in your pressure pot. What is the difference between a vacum pot and a pressure pot.
with that one i discovered you, i learned and currently making and improving sculpting and making molds cus of u :3
This guy must be a lvl99 wizard, judging by how much casting he does.
Thanks for sharing, detailed information is most helpful. great video!
they don't seem to sell the mold making product you mention in the PDF associated with your most popular video. not sure which mold making material you recommend now? thank you
❤❤❤❤
I love the vewier submission videos, watching you work out what you'll have to do to get the job done step by step was entertaining.
Hi Rob!
I miss your super long videos! All of your most popular vids are the long ones
I think it's the clever manual roto-caster that made this video so popular
How to use chunks, can rubber that had release agent be used? or what to clean off with?
Wow three years already! Time flies!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Awesome video really loved it
I loved that whole series. I used to watch it before I went to bed.
I mean, literally all I like watching these days are mold making and resin casting videos.
Hi Robert great video as always! Do you make custom toy orders?
