Here's a quick silicone mold making tip! If you're making a brush-on silicone mold and using a thickening agent to put on thick coats, you can create mold keys for the mother (jacket) mold to key into. Using old molds you need to get rid of or if you cast strips of that silicone, cut those up into small blocks and stick those into the last coat of silicone as it cures. :)

animateclay Really cool idea Ron. I don't use old silicone molds chopped up (mind are kinda thin usually) - but I do cast keys in plastic Easter egg shells. They are really perfect for precisely clean and round keys. Then I use more silicone mixed with cabosil to glue them into place. The cabosil (am I spelling that right?) thickens it so it doesn't ooze out from under the keys. 5 years ago

Ron Cole Because there is a layer of rubber under the the uncured layer, it's 'springy' and so when I press the chunks onto the surface, I press them in hard so that when I lift my finger off, they pop back up and the wet silicone it tapered up around the bottom of it. Cabosil works but I prefer to use a chemical thickener made for that job. (Thi-Vex, Plat-Thix or Tin-Thix) Cabosil is hard to mix in and... Show more 5 years ago

It's creators David Bell and Joe Scarpulla have opened their own studio for doing commercial work and the good news is that they've been quite successful (they've given me a lot of work) but the bad news is that the business of running a...

animateclay Oh very nice, the sets look beautiful. I guess you did send me their link a long time ago - but I never saw the shot you did for them. Maybe they need to do a kickstarter for it so they can pay the bills and get it done. Do they have a commercial web site just for their studio? I could add it to our studio links area. 6 years ago
