I have a number of friends who restore antique radios who are looking for ways of making replacement knobs. In many cases they have at least one good one but need additional knobs. Any chance of a video on making replacement knobs?
How do you make a silicone hand with Ecoflex 00-35 + Alja-Safe mold? Is cure time after pouring the silicone into the mold only 5 minutes before we're able to take the hand out?
What do you think is the best material from your shop to make a mold and cast a severed hand? Because there are ways with body double, Alginate and so on.
Hi, I tried to make a severed ear from a alga-safe mold with dragonskin-fx pro plus pigment. I added some thi-vex to thicken it up and it didn't cure, it inhibited and pretty much all the materials were wasted. what went wrong? everything was mixed correctly.
which types of life casting can be used if i a want to make a female body suite(fameskin) ? please reply.or which materials are the most best to make a flexible but never tear/breakable on pressure or rough using a bodysuit skin to make ? please must reply.
You can use urethane resin or epoxy for a reusable rigid mold for silicone. You can also use a silicone mold, but it must be the same chemistry and you must use a release agent before casting silicone into silicone.
My grandson is in a school play 'Pinocchio'. I am supposed to make a NOSE that will grow longer. According to this version of 'Pinocchio', the nose grows (and stays somewhat nose-like) when someone pulls it if Pinocchio is lying. Can you do a short video on such a nose?

How do you make a silicone hand with Ecoflex 00-35 + Alja-Safe mold? Is cure time after pouring the silicone into the mold only 5 minutes before we're able to take the hand out?
This is correct, Alia Safe takes about 8 minutes to cure, then you can pour Ecoflex 00-35 into the mold
Can I cast two part uretane plastic into this Alja-Safe mold?
A very fast plastic such as Smooth-Cast 300Q would work.

What would you use if you wanted to do multiple pours of these fingers and not use Alja-safe? More of a permanent mold.
You could use Ecoflex 00-35 or Body Double silicone to make a silicone lifecast mold.
@@smoothon Thanks but I thought it was not wise to pour silicone into a silicone mold.
@@saginawescape2084 You would need to use a release agent such as Ease Release 200.

What can I use to make a reusable mold? Casting with silicon.
You can use urethane resin or epoxy for a reusable rigid mold for silicone. You can also use a silicone mold, but it must be the same chemistry and you must use a release agent before casting silicone into silicone.

Can I freeze it to preserve the mold?
No, this would result in the water rapidly coming out of the AljaSafe once it is defrosted.
Hi @smooth-on . I own a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer and was curious if anyone has ever freeze dried an Alja-Safe mold before? Want to find out?
Not to our knowledge, would be an interesting experiment though.
Where did you get the fake finger bones!?
A halloween themed store or 'dollar' store
Can I put my pencil in it?
Nice! Where did you get the small bones for the fingers ?
From a local Halloween store.
And also somewhere in the Web?
Amazon would be a good resource, as would frightprops.com
Thank you!!
