🔥 Perfect Resin Casting: How to cast and clean resin like a pro 🔥
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- This tutorial explains how to clean your resin casting out of a silicone mold. After the cast resin comes out of the silicone mold there's always some clean up to get it ready for painting. I go over how to remove and clean the pour spout, air vents, and flashing (seams), with various hand tools, and demo how I give it a final sanding and prep for painting. I also introduce some power tools that help expedite this process. Here are some materials and tools links from the video:

Thank you for making and sharing these videos with us. They really are excellent.
Thanks Was very informative
Glad it was helpful!
If those side cutters aren't "flush cut", you may want to look into a pair. Even better is the sprue cutters model makers use. They have to cut hundreds of gundam robot pieces from a sprue to complete a single kit, so they've developed a tool that is very good at it-- pieces need little or no cleanup after the snip.
Also I love 3M utility cloth for sanding, but it looks like you've got your sanding situation sorted!
Yeah, the beveled edge drives me nuts. I gotta get me a pair of those sprue cutters.
Very nice vid.
how do you get those bubbles or circles on the silicone mold?
I've seen other tutorials where the artist uses ball bearings or something similar.
yep- or anything round- I push the end of a sharpie pen into the clay- the pouring the other half creates the positive :)
What type of resin are you using Sir?
Smooth Cast 300
I have a question. Do you put toner to your resin like (white toner) to achieve the white result for your resin or your resin automatically turns to white when it cures?
that specific resin turns white. You can get clear and tint it with any color
Which powder mix with resin?
none. it comes in white. you can also get clear.
What brand and type resin do you use?
smooth cast 300
Hello I was wondering would you be able to help me out or know anyone that can help with creating a prototype toy figure ready for production? Thanks
hmmmm. keep scrolling IG toy maker feeds. I've seen some offering their services. good luck!
What type of resin
Smooth-On 300 and 305
@@SteveFerrera sorry to disturb, but smooth on brand resins are extremely costly in my country. Mostly because the sellers import it. Is there any general description for the type of you use?
Is this toy manufacturing branch?
kind of... my personal one :)
