this was very helpful, thank you!
Lots of good ideas
A video on venting would be awesome 👌
The venting video has been posted. Enjoy.
Hey thanks for taking the time to make these vids! Great work, fantastic advice/tips, and a pleasure to watch! Much appreciated:)
Seeing some venting techniques would be great!
The venting video has been posted. Enjoy.
Thanks for sharing that! A video on venting would be great.
OMG I love that you can see the in the mold! And I want your t-shirt 🍀
I appreciate your work! I'll be using some of your techniques, ASAP...
Great vid. Thanks
Thanks for checking it out!
For sure - very helpful. Looking forward to the venting video. Thanks.
The venting video has been posted. Enjoy.
Yes please, a vid on vents would be helpful! Esp. for pieces with thin or small pointy bits.
Starting that today..
@@jennercustomtoys Awesome, looking forward to it!
It's finished.. hope you like it.
@@jennercustomtoys I did! Left a comment too, thank you for sharing your knowledge (:
Thank you for your knowledge ... And experience ... We appreciate you 😊
I appreciate you folks too!!
Just found your channel. I love it. How do you store this when not in use ? I'm going to pick up what I need to make a pressure pot tomorrow. Thank you. Hope you're doing well. 😊
@@wadehendryx7378 in my newer videos I show you all of that. I've updated it and answered many questions.
Hi brilliant Video but can you make a smaller presser pot? Or is that the only size it works on
I don't know. Never needed a smaller one to try.
Thank you for your videos. You are very informative and I have been sharing your videos with my family and friends who also enjoy doing this craft as well. And also yes a venting video would be very nice please and thank you
Thank you.. I will eventually do a venting video..
Greetings from Mumbai, India. Just came across this very interesting series of reusable mold making . My question to you is, won’t the mold melt when the resin starts curing and produce exothermic heat??? Would appreciate hearing from you. Thanx
@@babujaan18 not the clear overnight resin. That's the only one that works well.
@@jennercustomtoys thank you for your quick reply. Unfortunately in my country we cannot get the resin brand you use so I guess I will not be able to make molds with your recipe🥲🥲🥲
Thank You for your video.. This molding compound works great. I do have 1 question what is the best way to store it when not using it ?
I just put it in a container and cover it with plastic wrap and leave it on my work bench. I don't refrigerate it either.
Question, does this have to be refrigerated after use? I live in Texas and it gets pretty darn hot here😂
I would.
Do these move articulation or do they paint wondering on finished product
None of my custom figures are articulated. That way nobody can resell them as original. Unfortunately it happened a few years back with my yak face
More if you can ... Please 🙏 🥺 😌
question, could this be used for paper mache instead of resin?
no. just clear resin.
Thank you for sharing this. Is this molding material suitable for soap molds?
I don't know... It doesn't handle anything hot if that helps.
Hello I made this and a week later I noticed my mold shrank do you have any advice of not having it shrink?
The first few times you use it it will shrink slightly until the water content balances out. That's why I make a new mold each time when casting.
thanks for the info. Could the reusable compound be used to create a brush on mold?
I haven't tried that but I don't see why not..
My first attempt went as expected; unsuccessful. I am anxious to give it another go. To melt the compound and reform, is that done using the microwave?
Yes. Put the mold in the fridge and let it get solid. Then it's easier to cut.
@@jennercustomtoys thank you! I will certainly try again.
Working on a two piece mold. What release agent might I work with?
I haven't had any success with two piece molds using this.
While the mold is hardened, would it start to deform if water get into the mold? I wanted to try this with some Plaster of Paris.
I've only had luck with the clear resin with this. But who knows? Give it a try...
I want to make a 2 piece mold what release agent can I use so it won't keep sticking to itself?
I don't use any release agent for this compound. It will eventually make the compound wear out faster. I just make a new mold every time I use it. If it helps, put the mold in the refrigerator before removing your master. But don't put it in the fridge when you are casting. I hope that helps.
Well, I need to get the two parts apart! I pour the first pour and when set I remove all the clay, flip it and pour the second pour! But the gel sticks to itself and it bonds as a solid block. It is for a slot car to mold outside, and then the inside. Then I add the resin and squish the two pieces together. I could cut off any gel with release on it before reusing. What can I use so it won't stick to itself?
OK.. I get what you're saying now. When making your two part mold, spray just a little cooking spray on the compound but avoid getting it on the master copy. It's very difficult but it can be done. Otherwise you have to surgically cut the mold out from around your master... and that sucks. I hope that helps.@@razorproductions599
Cooking spray is a great idea! It is vegetable based just like the gel! Thank you fellow KJ!
Ok question I'm trying to do weapons and belts for the teenage mutant ninja turtles I see about the hard white cast one but how can I make rubber castings
That would be a different casting material all together. I'm afraid I've never done that yet. Sorry..
Can mica powder and alcohol ink be used successfully in amazing clear cast? Can items be stacked or layered in the pressure pot?
Yes.
This is awesome! Do you know what ingredient to increase to make it slightly harder?
Corn starch probably, but you have to test it first
Hi and thanks for made this video its pretty awesome.i made my mold but I had air bubbles stucked to my clay sculpture ,how to release them ,or what did i wrong for made that bubbles , before used that mold i saw some air bubbles in there,and thanks again
I found this mold is not freind with air dry clay and stuck to it and when i wanted to release it took out some part of my clay.
Is there any way to coat my clay ?
I've never worked with clay before so that's new to me.
Thanks for the informative videos. I have a question, I've been playing with gelatin moulds for about a week, but my clear resin comes out white. I thought perhaps my resin was too cold so today I warmed it up a bit but no success, it still came out white. Do you have any thoughts on what might be happening? Thanks
Do you mean it comes out translucent? Or solid white?
@@jennercustomtoys solid white
You must be using white resin, not clear.
Sorry I didn't explain that well at all. I'm definately using clear resin - is the only one I buy and comes out clear in other moulds. In the gelatin moulds one piece had sections that are translucent, lots of solid white and a few small patches of clear. The 4 others pieces I've cast are similar but mostly white
@@chrislynch1011 that's a new one for me. I've never had that happen.
can you show us how to make a mold of light switches or an outlet cover.. I seem to kill mine. :(
How about cutting the bottom off a cup and using it instead of tape.
I just tried that on your recommendation and it does work. However, I couldn't see the seam well enough and I had more flashing on the edges than usual. It did work though.
Does this work with resins that cure by heat or would that melt the mould? Thanks for the tips
No. It melts the mold.
@@jennercustomtoys Okay, thanks for the reply! Have a good 'un
can you use this stuff to make two part molds or cap/squish molds?
I have not had much success with squish molds. Two part you can do but you still have to cut it apart.
Space Ranger have you tried it? I'm thinking about trying it, but wanted to see someone elses results.
Venting would be nice
so no release spray needed then , that is same as silicon but that is reusable nice
I have tried release spray but over time it gets into the molding compound and messes up the consistency. I'm just really careful when I demold. It's not perfect, but it saves a lot of money.
@@jennercustomtoys cool thanks
How do you reuse it ?! Can i use my hands inside it?!
I would not reccommend that.. much too hot.
That's a gelatin mold right?
Yes, its a homemade reusable molding compound. the how to recipe is also on my channel somewhere.
Can you use a pressure pot for bubbles?
By this i mean the molding compound. I make dice and use dragonskin for the process. In doing so I use a pressure pot to get the bubbles out of my dragonskin.
No clue. I don't know.
its time to teach us to vent
I made a video shorty after this one showing how I vent. I hope you like it.
Wouldn't it make more sense to glue the base of the figure to the cardboard, then glue a cup (With the bottom cut off) around it, and pour it that way? I'd much rater have to clean up the base rather than clean up the details on the head.
@@Jimmy-sb3fc it depends on the shape. Sometimes the hands don't fill up very good.

Where is part 2?

Your title says this is "part 3 of the series"...
It starts with the resin pressure pot video.
I bet the glycerine helps it melt.
hehe Bruce Jenner??
My real name is Bruce Jennings, but since I love Kenner toys so much and my whole life I've heard Bruce Jenner jokes I decided to name my store Jennercustomtoys. It's kind of a private joke that I turned into something ironic.
