This has by far been the most effective learning video for making a mold. Not only did you show the entire process, but you showed me multiple mistakes that I feel like I learned so much more from. Thank you!
Fabulous thanks so much ! Subscribed my guy :) will share your channel with other FX artists like us. I do a lot of fx havent worked silicone molds in particular so this is super helpful
It's not 100% necessary, but I've found it demolds a little bit easier if you coat it in a clear coat first. I like to use Modge Podge spray acrylic sealer. Even if you don't clear coat the clay first, it'll still come out of plaster. You may just have to spend a bit more time with clean up.
I have a typical plastic Halloween face mask that I am in love with. As it's aged, I've been looking everywhere for a new identical one as a replacement, yet cannot find one anywhere. I am wondering if there is anyway of making a mold for a mask like that?
It would depend on what material the mask is made out of. I would email Smooth-On and they may be able to advice you on what would be best to us. www.smooth-on.com/ OR if you happen to have a local Reynolds Advanced Materials, they may be able to help as well if you take the mask in and show them. www.reynoldsam.com/
For casting a silicone mask, something like Dragon Skin or Ecoflex may work better Stan Winston School has some videos on casting a silicone mask that may be helpful. www.stanwinstonschool.com/tutorials/silicone-mask-making-part-3-casting-and-demolding Dragon Skin - www.smooth-on.com/product-line/dragon-skin/ Ecoflex - www.smooth-on.com/product-line/ecoflex/ If you aren't trying to cast a full head mask, then liquid latex or creature cast may work depending on what you're trying to do.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I figure it's better to show mistakes than to pretend they just didn't happen since it could be helpful to see
I totally agree… great video

Do you need a release agent when casting Monster Clay in Plaster?

does this process dry out the monster clay?
No, you can still reuse the clay after this
What clay do you use?
Can i use liquid silicone that creates mold and use that liquid to make a halloween mask?
