In this tutorial we cover the process of creating a simple hand mold using one of our new 5"x12" mold tubes. This is a great, easy way to make prop hands fast. As mentioned in the video, here are the products we used:

Great video, definitely a nice quick way to mold an arm
Always nice to see more videos! Also, if I want to get a poseable cast, would embedding a wire armature work? or the silicone might be too thick for it to properly bend?
You could do that with a Gel-10 hand, Gel-OO hand, or a Gel-25 hand that has been "deadened."
How would you trim it if any bubbles on the hands, just a sharp knife?
An Xacto knofe works well for trimming air bubbles.
Muy interesante 👍😃
Burry half of it so just the hand is sticking up in the woods
You mentioned if you wait too long between the mold and the cast, that the alginate will shrink and distort. Would pouring a cast, and just leaving it prevent this? Would you be able to remove the cast at a later time and retain the mold's form?
Pouring a cast will help a little, but the alginate will start drying out regardless of what is inside the mold. Best to do you casting fast for accurate results. Now, I have used the same mold over a dozen times to cast fast setting silicone and the last pull was noticeably smaller than the first.
@@bitymoldsupply Good to know. Thanks!
Would this method and materials be safe for ...more "sensitive" areas of the body?
Yes. Alginate can be used to mold all parts of the body.

Can ACCU-CAST 380-CC cast cast arms fingers and hands too?
Yes. 380 is just a faster formula.
Would you be able to post a current price for all your supplies so we each know if this is even in our budget? I don't imagine you used $500 in product but I don't have any idea otherwise.
A lot of pricing will be specific to a given cast, but here's the breakdown for what we did here: Genesis V ~$16, Mold tube: ~$9, Gel-25 $28, Pigment ~$.50. All of those prices fluctuate based on the amount of material you purchase so these numbers are probably on the high end, purchasing in small quantities.
Thanks.
since the alginate 5 has been discontinued what can I use as a substitution for that but that will do the same thing?
590 is the best alternative to Genesis V. I’ll update the links
@@bitymoldsupplyis it the ACCU-CAST 590
@@bitymoldsupply the ACCU-CAST 590?

How would you create a silicone mold for a torso
Check our video library for more extensive videos. There's a link in the video description.
Could I use this to make a candle??
Not the alginate, but we have several silicones for that. Try 5110 or 5130. Both are well suited for soap and candle making.
Do not throw that away, it's a waste.
Instead, chop it up into smaller chunks. Next time you pour an algenite, use the bigger chunks along side the liquid so you don't have to use as much liquid.
Alginate, once dried out, would cause distortion problems if added to fresh alginate as it would pull moisture from the fresh alginate causing it to warp. :(
Brick In The Yard Mold Supply would mulching it work as a filler?
Used alginate would probably be best for the compost pile.
Brick In The Yard Mold Supply I'm really interested in mold making for cosplay. Do you have a seller in Michigan?
We do ship to the Michigan. 3 business days transit time.
Can i put inside plaster figure ?
Not sure what you mean?
How can I paint the silicone

I like the girl's tattoo on her left hand, I had to say it :D
Ha!
Do you sell this hand?
No, but we sell all the supplies you need to make your own.
@@bitymoldsupply total cost?
@@MehndiEssence786Cost will vary depending on the quantity you order and other variables such as pigments and flocking. Go to our website for pricing. Thanks!
WILL YOU SELL ME A LEFT HAND AND RIGHT HAND IN SILICONE AND WHAT IS THE COST?
We supply the materials to do this process, but we do not do custom work. :(
What's the biggest mold tube or square etc? Is there like a 4ft one?
Making a poured mold that size would be a profound waste of material. Check out our video library on our website or some of our other Brush-on mold tutorials.
@bitymoldsupply I will thanks. The reason I ask is, this mold captures detail really well. So hoping a liquid mold you can paint on with a brush can capture the same detail.
@@smallnuts2 It all comes down to good technique, good process, and good material.
@@bitymoldsupply thank you.
@bitymoldsupply I went through the list of videos. So I should either use the lifecasting or brush on molding for a large object? 4ft?
