- In this tutorial, I will show you how I go about pouring epoxy resin into my silicone molds! I use Smooth-On Smooth Cast 320 for my resin and Smooth-On silicone products for the molds!
Here is the link to Smooth-On!

And here is the link to the resin I use from Smooth-On!

Wow! You made it so easy to understand and learn. Thank you so much, sir.
I have seen the process hundreds of times, but i admit is very catching to watch casting process videos.
You can use a straw and blow into the resin to pop your bubbles. Works for me. :)
Wow awesome result. I looked up the same smooth cast product here in Australia. A 1 gallon bottle is $1329.00 ... I'll be sticking to plaster of Paris I think. Wow, that's a big mark up someone's making.

Instead of using the mold release spray if you don't have it, you can use a spray cooking oil or even W-D40 lightly, thanks for sharing!
Great video ! When I learned I had to use so lots of special equipment . I made made all my own silicon molds of my sculptures. Then I had a pressure pot with a air compressor . This makes things so mush more easy. Thanks !
Thanks for sharing, nice and informative.
Hey back2paranormal! Thank you very much! Glad ya like the video!
FINALLY AN INFORMATIVE VIDEO WITH GOOD CONTENT, AND BEST OF ALL GREAT AUDIO. A LOT OF VIDEOS HAVE GOOD INFORMATION BUT YOU CANT HEAR WHAT IS BEING SAID.
I’m glad ya like it Johnny! Thank you for checking it out!
Cool molds. Great product.?
So glad I found your channel!! Your video was very informative and quick and you are funny! Lol
just a tip when your using the little plastic cups for pouring if you turn the cup slightly as you stand it up to finish the pour it wont run down the side...love the vids
Amazing, can you tell us how you did the mold? It looks great
I love how you made your mold
Can that mold hold heat lead
My first time to try this, your directions are great except I have no idea what the difference is in "A" and "B"? Why is one clear and one yellow? Are they both a type of resins?
Great video as always from Toby Wayne Studios. So much amazing info here. Man that stuff goes off quick!
Thank you so much Robin! Yeah that resin kicks off pretty darn quick! Glad ya like the video brother!
What does that feel like is it a rubber /plastic like? Will this work for action figures?
It’s by volume over weight because one could weigh more than the other (A/B).
Great video :)
Man if only those resin ain't that high, I'd buy them right away..
Thanks again for sharing this, good stuff!
hello, thank you for your tips and tutorials... i dont know if you wanna read this, but i have a question: i want to start to do my owns designer toys, but in my country i only find two types of resin "Crystal" and "epoxi", so my question is, which of the two is better for my work?
This product comes in “trial sizes” - which is a great idea......BUT they don’t tell you the volume of finished product it will produce. Not even on the website. I realize the trial size won’t make much, but it would be extremely helpful to know if one package will be enough for my project or if I need to order two or more.
My sculpture is about 4x4x4.5 inches outer most dimensions. So a mold about 5x5x5.5 inches? The sculpture takes up about 2/3 rd if I use a cylinder mold.
Help anyone?
Beautiful work. Major Role model!
Thank you SO much Al's Horror Shop! I appreciate the compliment and you checking out my channel man!
I always do pour into a clean cup after the first stir. Than I stir again. I never have bad spots..... and my workbench is level. This way my moulds AND my castings are always level. So why not spend an hour or two to make your workbench level?
But still a great video.
Great suggestion! I do level my bench out but over time, it becomes uneven as I have a heavy grinder and a compressor AND a vacuum chamber that knocks everything off kilter so I just need to take the time to re-level it! let’s face it...I’m too lazy lol!
hfranke07 "then" you stir again, not "than" if we're going to be semantic about level benches, lol.
I think you mean pedantic LOL
just found your video, where do you get those molds?
Robert Latham it looks like he may of made them himself
do you use a 3d printer to make the original sculpture
why not just add the second part to the first part when measuring?? why measure separately, using 2 cups, then just combining them into one anyway?
I find (my personal experience) that the resin mixes better and I have less issues with the resin not curing when I mix part A and B with the separate cups-Personally the scale I also use has a tendency to shut off after about 30 seconds so I don’t want to be in the middle of pouring the second part of the resin and then not know how much more I have to add to get a proper amount for it to cure fully (I hope that made sense?! If I measure out the two cups, I’m not going to run into that costly mistake)
i know this is kind of an old video but thanks for the tips
These are way cool. How do you make your molds?
Wow thanks for this video. I'm I guess what is called a beginner. So I'm wondering , where did you get them molds?
how many pulls do you think you got out of those molds? im about to start trying this myself.
I am new to this, can you tell me how to cut the edges of the resin? Do you use a knife to cut it?
Very Interesting, thank you. What did you use for the mold itself?
Can I use, Haksons Resin & Hardener - High Gloss Epoxy Resin Clear Coat to a make 3d cast from a silicone mould? Like your cast will this also give me a white finish?
hello bravo ,but you did not tell what's the B stuff..?
I whant make toys with combination of marbel powder+zinc oxcide+soda silicate kindly give me some idea
Hello my dear and Happy New Year. I have request if you can do. I hope I'm not asking to much but i really need help. Is it possible to do a tutorial in making a two part stiletto heel shoe mold. I just found you and i have been watching all your videos and you really do a good job with explaining what you're doing. So if you can help me I would greatly appreciate it. I know you have other things to do and other videos to make but it would greatly mean a lot to me. Thank you for taking the time and reading this.

Holly cow never seen that! Cool.
I have a garden angel that I would like to cast a new one of, before she starts to deteriorate. I have never seen another like her. She is in a long gown and very elegant. How do I begin since I have no mold made of her and what do I use?
There are great videos on how to make a silicone mold. The larger the piece the more silicone of course. I would use the water with soap method to spread the silicone and make the mold.
Corina, thank you. This was only response I received. I will look into Silicon molds. Maybe I can do one this winter. Thanks again so very much.
It looks like an Ood!
Bummer.. glad i asked and didn't waste any of my precious Smooth-On resin
Lol! NO KIDDING! That resin is like liquid gold!
Can you add colorant to this resin?
This is so awesome!
Thank you so much Amy's Claythings!!!
I can't find the link to the molds. Does anyone have it?
nice molds where you get them
I wanna get into sculpting and molding 👽
Im interested in making some ashtrays from silicone molds, will this resin with stand the heat from putting out cigarettes?
Hey there! That’s a good question! I’ve never subjected the resin to a heat source like that but I would suggest not doing it. I’m not a smoker, but I would assume that most ashtrays are glass or metal?! There might be plastic trays but I’m not 100% sure how the resin would hold up-sorry:(
Toby Wayne Studios I think if it’s epoxy based then it should be ok for most types. If it’s actually a polyester resin then it definitely won’t be suitable for heat/UV exposure. What is company/brand of resin is this? There’s also another type of resin for casting which is vinyl based (also called vinylester). Don’t think this one can take the heat and to my knowledge it has a limited shelf life like the one your using.
For some reason I like the way Part A smells...
Lol! Oh I know right Sick Dreams FX?! I always think of bananas for some reason...
Toby Wayne Studios
I know why you always think of bananas...
I have a plaster mould i wish to cast from. Would i have problems releasing this resin cast from the plaster mould? Thanks
Hey there! I would advise to not use resin in the plaster mold-it’s VERY ridged and the resin will fire off and you won’t be able to get the resin casting out of the plaster mold-if it was a silicone mold, that is ok but not a plaster mold-hope this helps!
YES
It is kinda hard to mix them up as they are different colors. Lol
Hey Toby, how long do these molds last?
Hey Mitch! Depending on the detail that is in each sculpt, I can usually get about 30 pulls or so out of each mold and then the silicone starts to break down.
how did you make the molds?
Excellent question Al's Horror Shop! I will make a video very soon showing you how I did it! I may have one on my channel but it's an older one-
Nice video
Thank you!
these will become Refrig. Magnets?
They sure will!
You can find them on my Etsy-I’m gonna be adding lots more soon!

I will post the links Al's Horror Shop! I should have done it already lol!
Ok Al's Horror Shop! The links to the website and the resins I use are now in the description! Thank you for asking about that!
Wow.......
Yes.....that was nice watching it bloom & cure. LOL That would never get old for me. Pathetic, right...? LOL
Do you sell your molds..........
