@Prince Calbaby powder. It used to be made of a mineral called talcum, so people sometimes refer to it as talcum powder or just talc. Nowadays, what’s sold as baby powder is just sterilized cornstarch.
Hi there, really brilliant informative video..... better than so many books I’ve read, I’m just wondering how the latex separates from the paper easily? Thanks mark
Good video, very explanatory, very specific. I have a question: I have made some figure molds a long time ago, but they have "melted" in a couple of months. Where is it advisable to store the molds to prevent them from breaking or "melting" over time? At what temperature approximately?
A traditional mold for cement requires 10-12 applications allowing each coat to dry before applying the next. A latex cement mold outlasts man-made products by many years. Yes, a bit time consuming, but if you place a fan in front of the wet latex it dries in half the time.
Hi there, I am using your tutorial to make a 2 part latex mold from an object i am refurbishing. I need to seal my object but am having difficulty finding (an affordable) Shellac. Do you have any budget friendly ideas for an equivalent sealer? Is Sanding Sealer appropriate?
@@EnvironMolds hello, me again. I'm struggling to create a cut out partition for my object. It is a bust with an angled head. Any tips for another way to construct a partition?
So strange watching a 6 year old video that appears to be done in the early 90s. And that music for a whole hour. Looks like what I need for something I want to copy, but my patience will not allow for it.
@@secretsquirrelaka-vesuvius3672 .. i guess that depends on how much of a novice someone is that is watching it .. i found it informative & very satisfying to just relax & take it all in.. regardless of what I already know, it was good to be reminded of some of the basics again.. 😊

Dated 2017, had to check as the initial part looked really old fashioned/cutting and gluing boxes as keys.
Hello .. Good night;
How many layers of latex would I have to apply to the mold to work with cement artifacts?

Would one of them tools that you use to cut tiles with funny shapes help to do the mold partition to get the exact shape?
I'm uncertain what tool you are referring to. But a good sharp knife is best.
That tool is called a profile gauge, and I think it work better than tracing as shown in the video.
Is there a list of products you used?

Use a spray clear polyurethane. Rustoleum is a good brand

Hi ..thanks for video..want to ask what I can I use as a release agent for plastic model..? Thanks
Normally you would not use a release agent with latex on plastic

I am the same way. I just found that you can speed up the video by clicking on the settings icon on the top right and changing the playback speed!
Why don't you spray the shellac?
Can resin casting with latex rubber
you are using shellac,I was led to believe that anything petroleum based was bad for latex rubber??
When shellac dries it is perfectly safe. What you want to avoid is petroleum jelly and oil
Very helpful video... but i just have to say.... editing lol .... so much footage could have been left out.

Very slow. Process.
Yes, the downside is that it is slow. However, you can cut the time in half by placing your work in front of a fan, or a small heater between coats.
