    The amount of thought that had to go into orchestrating all these steps so their colors contrasted and they were at the proper cure stage at the time of
    Filming is awe inspiring.

    Great video. Thanks. Your sound could be better. Try to put a high pass filter (HPF) on the sound and remove all frequencies under 200hz. This would remove all the low rumble sounds. And maybe have an eq that takes away the ac noice. That would be great.

    How is this product with moisture?? Is the cure affected by temperatures?? I’m trying to make a custom mold using a carcass. Taxidermy stuff...I use a two part polyurethane foam mix to make the forms. So would I be able to place the project back into the freezer while partial/full cures are taking place, so that the carcass doesn’t completely thaw/leak and possibly lose shape??

    • @smoothon
      @smoothon  2 года назад

      To mold a frozen piece, we would recommend Mold Max 30 silicone with Fast Cat 30 - www.smooth-on.com/tutorials/molding-casting-alligator-snapping-turtle/.

      I wouldn't.
      Let it dry in in it's own time.
      I used a brush on 40 and it seemed a bit long between steps, but a 25min like this will be half set up while you get the next layer ready. If you're still curious start a ticket with them and as, they're very helpful and respond quickly.

    Milo How Much Money You Save On Using Latex Which Is Time Consuming You Need To Think About How Much Wages Your Time Costs You In Lost Hours

    • @smoothon
      @smoothon  5 месяцев назад

      Every material offers plusses and minuses. The advantage of using latex is low material cost. A disadvantage is the labor and time necessary to arrive at your finished mold. Brush on silicone or urethanes will get you a finished mold faster but are significantly more expensive.
