Technically, Aaron would have about, like three full Rockafire Explosions, because he has characters and other parts lying all around creative eng. I'm sure if he went searching around, he would be able to combine the miscellaneous parts and put cosmetics on them, put them in crates, and he would have more Rockafire Explosions to sell.
I pour latex in silicone molds and it's tricky. The first issue is you are using liquid latex that is made to be used with plaster molds. I use a thicker latex that sticks and builds up very thick. The second thing I do is I duct air from a dehumidifier into the mold so that it blows it dry much more quickly and doesn't allow the latex to "sag" while it's drying. Last but not least - even with thick latex and a dehumidifier blowing on the thing, it takes a couple of weeks for it to dry enough for you to pull a good casting.
just want to drop a line and say thanks for giving us the behind look on how it is all made. you have been part of my child hood for as long as i can remember. I got to see the rockafire when there was a showbiz pizza place in madison WI. that was when i lived in lake mills (a small town here in WI) at that time. So any ways i thought i should share this with you and i am happy to see therockafire still going today.
I hope you guys are still in business and that you are training an apprentice or two so that these skills are never lost. As long as the animatronic characters exist, there will be a need for someone to do proper restorations and repairs on them.
Big difference... the Loony Bird mold is made of fiberglass. The other molds are made of clay/plaster or whatever. Obviously, the composition of fiberglass/resin is incompatible with the latex, hence why it's not thickening up properly. What happened to the original plaster mold for the Loony Bird? Of course, someone at sometime probably added something to the fiberglass mold (perhaps a type of powder?) or to the latex, to make it not negatively react (or not react (in the case of coagulation), as the case may be) with the fiberglass. :-D What that was, is anyone's guess... though Google may yield up some answers, with enough persistence. Wait a sec... latex has water in it, doesn't it? And plaster can absorb water. Maybe the issue is that the fiberglass/resin isn't absorbing enough water (or fast enough), to make a thick layer of latex, to form a mask! A layer of water absorbing material (talcum powder, perhaps?) applied to the inside of the fiberglass/resin mold was probably used to make up the difference! Hmm?
I actually really like the music and I havent heard every beatles song(so thats why iw as asking haha), and its amazing how you still managed to get the latex out and fix up the mold!
I was watching the trailer for key and peele movie And in the background I saw the rockafire explosion in the background do you have any opinion on that
I thought that music sounded familiar. I haven't watched "The Point" in years. I think I've still got it recorded on one of my old VHS tapes somewhere.
+Aden Thie -Not for a while..I am developing version II and I don't want any more people waiting for delivery. So, I'll let you know when it's ready on my web site.
Great! So you are Aaron himself? I really grateful for you replying. You have probably heard this soo many times, but you have literally changed my life!

he has more
i'm glad you're not giving up, mr. fechter, keep up the good work.

I'm so excited I'm going to Creative engineering during spring break :OOOO
Did you?
Well I just went this spring break 2021
that's pretty cool, even tho it didn't work out, I'm sure you can make an even better plaster mold from that plug.
Can't wait to see part two, I hope you'll be able to make another mold.
Wow, I've never seen Gooney Bird, even though I've heard so much about him. How cool.
The sound of the latex pouring is extremely satisfying!
Aaron your a dedicated artist

I still watch these videos because I'm so amazed how my mask came out! :)
Does anyone know what brand of latex Aaron uses???
even if it didnt turn out, its really cool seeing the process done. cant wait to see what you do next~
Hopefully he makes a Pt. 2
Look at those guns! I would not want to be in a fight against Aaron!
Lol!
same!
Can you do a video on the hard luck bears like showing the molds and showing the Santa show molds
If I ever see you ,I would like a dook larue with the 1982 face design!
Aaron! I see that they filmed some parts of the new movie Keanu in your factory! cool!
Latex covered wooden Blocks is 2016 "Best children's toy of the year"
I'm so sorry that you are having trouble making a going bird mask Aaron.
Diggin' that Harry Nilsson soundtrack.

Wow, I never thought about how you would need to check the molds when they got old, I guess it makes sense.
Yup
Maybe try to put a heat lamp on the mold while trying to make the mask! Just a thought though!
It's so amazing how it works..I know Patrick(not me lol ikr) Loves Gooney!!! 😄
The Point!!! It was my first record and still my favorite!!
DAMN, Aarons got some guns...
Im subprised he still works
Thats what i said after getting a dusty 2007 laptop from the attic.
What ''Band'' Is the Gooney Bird from?
Good thing jeff came and saved you
God provides to those who pray...every time.
you should do more videos like these
I agree!
Latex bricks - Now only 20 dollars.
Are you working on reselling the animatronic kit?
Hi, Mr. Fechtor. I was wondering, when will you put the Dook LaRue mask back on eBay?
I know Patrick! He's an awesome friend of mine! It's amazing of how these masks are made! (Even though sometimes it fails)
Haha! I know him too! X'D
the beatles?
I actually really like the music and I havent heard every beatles song(so thats why iw as asking haha), and its amazing how you still managed to get the latex out and fix up the mold!
no its the bands songs
I love the Beatles:) they are awesome:)
+Common Band Meme It's not The Beatles it's Harry Nilsson.
Love the way the latex smells brah!
+therockafire I have a question, is there restrooms available during tours or no?
Probably one or two.
I found two there when I was there lol
Silly question but what video editing program did you use?

CAN YOU MAKE A VIDEO FOR HOW TO MAKE THE MASKS OF THE ROCK A FIRE EXPLOSION
Aaron you should do a video on the wolf pack 5 so we can see the progess.
He doesn't have the time at the moment
wow that's sad :v Rolf Dewolf I love him !!!!!!!❤❤❤❤😳
whats the price for an animatronic?
when is there going to be new vids
Don't you need a release agent for latex when using fiberglass molds?? They show this on How It's Made all the time.
dear Mr fetcher what happened to the wolf pack 5 restoration?
Will Russel never supplied the payment, so it is on hault until someone wants it/when Aaron has extra time and money
Looney Bird CEC o ok
Am I the only one who wants to drink that liquid latex 😂
i love animatrinics
I love you Aaron
I wished he'd do a update video on Wolf pack
Nothing to update on
I saw a moon rocker mold in the FNAF birthday video. Maybe he's going to work on them sometime.
Hopefully!
can you do a mizit one please I never see a mizit mask.
Mizit. I know it was autocorrect but its funny.
What's the music? It reminds me of Harry Nilsson...
It's from the movie "The Point"
Dragonsbane58 Turns out it _was_ Harry Nilsson. Thanks!
I thought that music sounded familiar. I haven't watched "The Point" in years. I think I've still got it recorded on one of my old VHS tapes somewhere.
I like his shirt.
is it looney bird or is gooney bird a different character
diffrent characther
We all want wolf pack 5
Oh dear Aaron :(. Are you guys still selling the experimenters kit?
+Aden Thie -Not for a while..I am developing version II and I don't want any more people waiting for delivery. So, I'll let you know when it's ready on my web site.
Great! So you are Aaron himself? I really grateful for you replying. You have probably heard this soo many times, but you have literally changed my life!
+therockafire is it going to be as expensive as version 1?

+Looney Bird CEC same
Wow, you are surprisingly muscular! Good for you, man. Shame about the trouble that mold caused you, tho, haha.

Maybe you should invest in a 3D scanner.
Looks like this experience wasn't worth the...
Goo
Rip
Mr fector do you have a dog?
O yus bby rub that bird
Slowly getting the vibe or Creative en working again!, maybe you might get re employ somebody!, when more people start ordering more things of course
He has 2 employees as of now:

Ow sorry, I didn't know she was officially working there, That's great though! Thank you.
No prob!
Won't be to long until it gets back into full swing and Show biz reopens ;). I wonder how popular it would be if it did? D:
Showbiz will never reopen. Aaron has already confirmed that he is out of that buisness.

its so funny becuase you can make a mask for free and its like you are print 900 dollars every time
It's a damn racket!
therockafire xD btw I’m a premium subscriber how do I receive the old premium videos my email is sidigmc@gmail.com for proof
Well you do have to account the cost of the latex and time it goes into making these masks so they aren't really free when you make them
Firsy
The Point!!! It was my first record and still my favorite!!
