I really would love to see you make more videos. Experienced sculptors like you are prized more than the formulaic fluff that's seen as the norm on UA-cam.
Great video with a clear explanation. I'm not ready yet to make a two-part mold, just doing some research now, but I will definitely come back to this video when I'm ready for it!
Hey Dana, I’m new to your channel and I am really happy to have found you. I am a new sculptor and could use help in many ways. Thanks so much for your input and your insights. Warm regards from Canada.
Great video! I'm in the middle of casting a sculpture I used caulke silicone as it's cheaper then rubber and I'm going to do the plaster jacket next, the only thing is I don't have any hessian scrim trying to work out if it'll be alright with out it. You've made me think I should film the next one I cast haha!
Thank you for sharing. I don't see any mold release applied between the rubber and plaster. I am wondering if the plaster might stick to the silicone rubber? I have standard pottery plaster. Brush molds are not easy to get smooth.
I use T-shaped pins to hold the cast rubber flanges in place while the rubber paste sets up. Those flanges are at least 1/2 inch thick. I cut through them at the end to create the parting seam. Hope that helps!
I want to start making castable sculptures, but I just don't have the patience for this, so not sure what I'm going to do. Paying someone to do it is really my only option.

thanks for the tutorial, excellent sculpture.

i guess I'm pretty randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to watch newly released tv shows online?
Best video I’ve seen so far! Straight to the point. Excellent work!
This is brilliant! Thank you!

Happy to help! Good luck with your pursuit.
HI, lovely piece! Is there any reason why you don't also make the silicone a 2-part mould? Thanks. Rob

You can use dishcloths if you have no hessian

Nice work. Your sculpture looks very similar to a piece I made years ago of a zombie being shot in the head.
What are the silicon brands you are using?
What do you used as shims? You said tea pins?

Nothing simple about this demo
