    My process of molding and casting a clay sculpture without a vacuum chamber or a pressure pot. There are multiple ways of molding and casting, this method was best suited for my needs, and doesn't require special casting equipment. If you found this video helpful and want to show your appreciation you can do so by supporting my work on Patreon. Thank you!

      thank you , i was looking for a way to save my statue ( prime 1's bat who laughs )and it didnt occur to me to glaze the mold before i actually cast it . this way the actual statue is in storage and the copy is out in the world.

      Someone else asked the same thing? I can't seem to find it. I had the same question and was looking for the answer. I see someone else refers to it as a layer of resin.

    I cut the fists in the beginning because their shape has many irregularities that could be problematic when casting. Air can get trapped in high points like the knuckles or tips of the fingers, and ruin the cast. I couldn't vent them properly so I decided to cast them separately to have more control.

      Crafty Art if the face/head has a lot of details, like earlobes and nostrils and eyelids, should the head be molded/casted separately as well?

    • @CraftyArt
      @CraftyArt  5 років тому +11

      @@MsPoliteRants Not necessarily, but it depends. If the face has an open mouth you can get a mold lock, and you may not be able to pull the cast from the mold. I had made a human anatomy model and have cast it in one piece just fine.

      What do you do when the hands make some sort of an O shape like they are holding something or doing the OK/666 sign or whatever. Would you make a two part mold for something that small? And how do you cut them of if you have a skeleton of wire inside of it?

    Prebrushing plastic into the molds before joining and pouring is a really good idea. It reduces the chances of air bubbles.
    I will have to give that a try.

    July 3, 2019---Thank you for an interesting & educational video. Learned I don't have to use Lego's as a form, especially when the form is an odd ball shape such as your figure. Also, remember to add pour vents to the subject so the resin reaches thru out the mold. And will give a try in coating the mold pieces with resin before pouring. I'm working in 1/35th scale and made several different wagons used by kids. Tried using a syringe to inject the resin into the one piece molds, but when removing them, they broke on me. And yes, I did use mold release on the molds before hand. Suggestions?

    I love how “crafty” you got (see the pun? 😂) with making your own casting chamber. I am still trying to figure out what was the purpose of the two blue strings that went from wrist to hip? Also, how did you go about shaving off the excess raisins that sipped thru?

    • @CraftyArt
      @CraftyArt  5 років тому +34

      The blue wires are vents that will allow the air in the arms to escape when pouring the resin. Because the model will be head upside down when the resin is poured, the air would get trapped in the arms if not for those blue wires. As for the excess at the seamline just use a cutter, it's easily removable.
