    I love the flute stab at the end. It fits so well with your aesthetic. When you do your two-part mold, that’ll give you the opportunity to brush resin in the mold to get those pesky bubbles out before you pour the rest of the resin in.

    • @kbowler9266
      @kbowler9266 4 года назад

    • @EllenJB
      @EllenJB 4 года назад +2

      Some resins you can run a lighter over them to get the bubbles out. I also get a little beading needle sometimes and pop bubbles with that.

    Hey CraftsMan, CraftsBoy over here, we use a vacuum chamber to remove bubbles , when pulling the vacuum the bubbles increase in size , thus increasing the chance of them floating to the surface, and when you go back to normal pressure before the mix cures, the resulting bubbles are even tinier due to the 1 ATM pressure pushing them together. I love you channel man, keep it up!

      Also, I feel like "Clay Gray" would be a great name for this big froggy fella! It has this sense of gravitas about it. Like he could be walking down the street to get some groceries and people passing by could be like "Whoa, is that Clay Gray?? I thought he was in outer space fighting alien baddies or somesuch." But nope. He's just nippin' down to Krogers to grab some celery.

      @JMcMillen 4 года назад +1

      Dump molds are used by Hollywood model makers. Apparently there's this one model bit that is super popular when kit bashing stuff. In fact, it's used in nearly ever ship model that has appeared in every single Star Wars movie. One shop eventually started making many, many molds of the bit in question. If they had leftover resin they would dump in on the molds. When they cured, they just popped them out and dumped them in a bucket, for anyone in the shop to use.

  • @tS-gh9dj
    @tS-gh9dj 4 года назад +1

    Hey crafsman I don’t know if you know this or not but a trick that I learned with 3D printing is if you put a grid on the inside which is the infill so it’s basically hollow but there is a grid of plastic or resin in it so it retains its strength (I use 20% infill but for what your doing just for molds 10% or 15% should be plenty strong).it’s pretty much just as strong as solid but you use a lot less material and save money. If you knew this already sorry for wasting your time. : )
