Don't forget that you can buy my books and materials for your own experiments including our conductive inks at secure.working... - and for the many who have asked, yes, you can also donate to further our work, again through the shop.
I think that chortle at the end says everything we need to know about this! ;o)
oh for sure lol
When your videos come up, I can't resist watching them 😃
I've just started making moulds from my 3d prints. Great video. Thanks.
nice - you really should do some vids on that mate - i would love to see
As a lime plasterer I go through a lot of gloves so making my own sounds awesome thanks Robert and your film much appreciated.
You bet mate
I came across this channel by searching for wiper motor wiring and after watching that recording I flicked through the channel library and I am very impressed with what I see.
Whilst the uploads are far too techy for my basic brain (electrics, computers etc) I can grasp certain things and I will gain a lot from many of the recordings.
I am very happy to have found you and I have subbed.
Best wishes 👍
Just love you cheeky Brits!
lol - cheers mate
Extremely cool, thank you very much Rob. I wish I had known this year's ago. I could easily make multi use gloves by soaking for an hour.
I can see people saving money at the adult store with similar techniques. Gypsum would replace the alginate in these uses, lol.
as promised mate lol - I hoped you would find it useful
@@ThinkingandTinkering I most definitely will
I can never find boots that fit. Maybe I should try making my own.
now that would be awesome to see lol
Great for making chess sets of which I've done loads using Styrene Resin & pigments/metal powder fillers. RTV/Silicone sealant is also great for making moulds, there is a technique called butter up to make those work better. Bubbles are the main enemy!
you should do a video or two - I would love to see your work
Well, an interesting if a little limited in scope project. I cannot think of anything else this could be used for. Anyway, I'm going to my shed for a while. Knock before you come in
really? wow - you can make a rubber mould of anything - literally - anything with this technique - check out google mate - it might give you some ideas of what to do with this
If you're going to have a kinky side it helps to have a workshop, RUclips channel and online store!
lo, - it would probably be a bit of a money spinner tbh lol
Can I use this method with concrete?
Amazing videos, so much knowledge on so many topics. Thanks for sharing, I'll check out your other videos too!
Is the left over latex returnable till the container or is any left overs just need thrown out. Also how do you clean it of is it water or something like paint thinners thats needed?
Extra possible tip, not sure if it works for your molds but in industrial manufacturing they get the gloves of their molds by using a compressed air jet under the wrist area and the air puffs out the glove and shoots it of the mold, simple shop air compressor should do the same thing. if anybody thinking of giving the gloves a go id love to know if it works, it's how they get the speed up in factories mass manufacturing them but I believe they use metal hands so the friction coefficients may be different.
Fantastic bit of knowledge with lovely comedy
You said what I was thinking. Good laugh!
lol - well hell it seemed like just the thing lol
This is hopefully exactly what I want to learn.
naughty, naughty Robert - great fun watching you choosing your words carefully.... 😃😃
Morning Rob, I learnt another thing today, how to make gloves. That learn bit mate, what where you thing of mate? Lol
lol - only of possibilities mate
Ooooh...you know Rob tried several body parts lol.
lol
A unique body-part mold of my specific dimensions? What would I want with a mold of my nose for? Lol.
lol - I suppose it depends on how big it is!
Title should have been Roberts magic hands lol
lolololol
Thank you for the amazing video it was exactly what I was looking for. How much time does it take to dry ? I invented something and I am using this for my product. Thanks so much
Thanks for your help. Really good video
Does the latex rubber need vulcanized?
If so, how is that done?
This type of liquid latex is usually pre-vulcanised and the particles prevented from sticking together by being suspended in water with amomonia to keep it from going bad. As the water evaporates or is sucked into plaster, the latex particles come closer together and eventually touch and fuse. When forming something without an absorbent mould (like the plaster mould), you have to apply thin coats and let each dry. If a thick layer were to be applied the surface exposed to air will form a more or less waterproof skin and prevent the latex below from drying.
no mate it just air dries
Nice. Lots of potential for those that diy their Halloween in the states.
Definitely!
Just in time for Halloween lol
awesome!
I was a bit disappointed you haven't mentioned the best thing you can do with silicone molds: if you make them thin enough and flip them inside out, you can make *mirrored copies* of parts.
My tutor has shown me this trick. Howewer, the thicker the mold, the more the shrinkage of the mirrored copy.
Very cool stuff
beyond useful information
Ha ha yeah, Rob you do make me laugh. Brilliant video thanks mate 👍 👌
Hello.Thanks.
i have a few questions.
1- I saw people who first put 10 layers of latex on the object and then mix the latex with silica to make it a little thick and then put it on the mold. Is this correct? Or will the use of silica in the latex create problems for the latex mold?
2- I mostly saw that latex molds are mostly used in concrete and plaster sculptures. Is it possible to cast materials such as polyester or polyurethane in latex molds? Some people say that the latex mold is damaged by polyester and polyurethane materials? is it true?
Thanks alot.
So do you just pour the unused back into the bucket? Can you use this on a glass cup for 3 D if you leave it in there longer? ... So sorry for all the questions, I have just been geared towards silicone molds and am hoping this is a lot cheaper:)
I've always wanted a copy of my oh my
Just for a talking point on the mantelpiece when granny pops in for a cuppa tea, eh?
@@locouk I wouldn't rule anything out
Alginate gets mixed with water about 13 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the human body. Just something for consideration. 🤣
@@russellborrego1689 challenge excepted
Your 'Oh My!!' Here's How you do That.. Get a Vacuum Pump Cylinder the appropriate size, has to be 2x length, Get things 'Ready'... fill the top end with the alginate, Pull appropriate vacuum until you are 'There'... invert the cylinder
the alginate comes down inside and sets in 3/4 minutes, release pressure and
Wa la --There's your 'Oh My" at Max Capacity, and ready to make a Plaster of.
Just so you Know... If you wait 3 or four days the alginate will dry out and will be life size! Hope this is clear...
"Gloves"
of.a sort!! lol
That was really interesting thankyou you saucepot. lol
This is great! Thanks! One question off topic is it possible to make a practical home heating unit , using quick lime and recycling it and re using the dried quick lime?
The problem with quick lime is that if exposed to CO2, it becomes calcium carbonate.
@@technosaurus3805 Is there any chemical that could be cycled over and over… that is exothermic when exposed to water? Zeolite etc.
I would use the zeolite - nice safe and never wears out
@@ThinkingandTinkering thanks for your advice! I will give it a try!!!
what kind of latex did you use? I'm trying to make a latex mold of a plaster hand as well. I have a deceased friend who made just one plaster mold of her hand before she passed....but now I need to replicate it 4 more times! I have no idea how to do this. Also wondering how hard it was to peel it off of the plaster? This hand is in the "I love you" sign and Im nervous to break off fingers
Doesnt need vacuum?
nope!
Why arent you straigthening out the last few fingers on the right hand when wearing the glove?
hey Rob..any chance you might do a resin v epoxy moulding comparison using the latex? im trying to decide best material to coat some aussie opal.cheers
Where do we find the latex rubber you used? I don’t know which one to buy
Thanks Robert for the information about Latex Rubber. "Question" I asked this question in an earlier Video of yours and you didn't respond, so I'm asking it again. Would you do a Video on (POWER PASTE)? The paste has incorporated into the mix (MAGNISIUM). This paste is used in the production of (HYDROGEN GAS) so it could replace Gasoline and Diesel as a Fuel. I was hoping you'd do a Video showing the make up of this paste and how it could be made at home for the same purpose. Would you do this Video? Again thanks for sharing your knowledge with me.
There are no details I could find about how this is recharged, not being able to refill easily is a major problem.
@@vitordelima What do you mean? The (POWERPASTE) is what they are using to produce the (HYDROGEN FUEL). The paste is made up of (MAGNESIUM) and a few more additives. The Water contains something to strip the Oxide Coating off the (MAGNESIUM) so it will react with Water to form (HYDROGEN GAS) at point of use. I was hoping you would know something about the make up of the paste and do a Video over it and how it could be done for the Hobbyist. So, do you think you could do a Video showing all this is the question?
sorry about not responding before mate - I do get a lot of mail and posts so it just isn't possible to respond to all of them any more - really sorry about that - but good one for persisting and cheers - so I have written it on my list and will certainly look into it. From your description of it I can guess what's going on on for sure and it doesn't seem that difficult to me - but I will get a little more info and make a vid - cheers
@@ThinkingandTinkering Thanks Robert. This will be a worth wild Video in my opinion. Also, 'if you could only make one Battery from all the Batteries you've done while doing your Video's here on RUclips and you had to depend on this Battery Technology, which Battery would you choose and recommend? Thanks again for responding to my request.
@@kennedy67951 I think this means you need a complex process to make the paste.
How long did it take for the latex to dry? Maybe I missed it in the video 🤔
We are told always told to do many thin coats. As much as 30. So each layer can dry.
How would a very thick coat up to 1/4" dry properly ? And how much shrinkage ?
Why do people take sooooo much time doing 30 plus coats instead of one thick one if it works ?
Thanks
Wow I thought you have to bake it with oven
The unique body parts was a shameless innuendo.😂
I was just watching the Twitch VOD and am about half way through. It’s so intriguing to see both sides of these videos. I hope this helps your friend manufacture his own custom items. ✌️😁👍 Ps About the anonymous complaint issue. It’s been a common thing on Twitch for people to “call in” to stop people doing things on stream. It has been a game of cat and mouse for some. People have been asked to shut their streams down locally or been threatened to have their stream channel banned after “callers” have done their business. Some callers were attempting to get some streamers in Japan deported in an attempt to ruin the streamers livelihood and lives there. As you said on stream, it’s the thin part of the bell curve, but it happens unfortunately with live broadcasts.
It does mate and I have a pretty pragmatic view of it to be honest
You meant to say dip the plaster of paris into the latex, not into the plaster of paris. 2:20.
So... Would something like this work on solid plastic? Like let's say I wanted to make a latex Lego mold.
❤❤it😊😊
Hi, I'm looking for a way to create a very high elasticity latex/ rubber mould . It will have to be arounf 5-10 mm thick. Can anyone advise me how to do it please? X
That's funny 🤣🤣🤣 thank you 😂😂😂😂
lol - cheers mate
Can latex paint possible?
Great! 👏
cheers mate
👍.
cheers mate
@@ThinkingandTinkering cheers
I 1st thought Robert was castng a flemmng right hand rule model .. but he ends up with an awkward glove😂 What's the competition all about ..
Rob's parties are very popular...
lol
we have such a dirty mind, lol
indeed lol
That could be really useful. I hate handling DCM, because it penetrates layers so easily, and because thick gloves fit so terribly. With this, you could simply mix your own custom, composite PPE, or even add tear or heat resistant materials wherever you want them.
absolutely mate
I need transparent latex...
How to rubber mold
Why writing on the screen, we can't watch the video very well
Such filthy minds. He’s obviously talking about making custom dry gloves and booties for scuba. Smh
lol
awesome
"Molds"? Moulds - you are English sir!
