    I still Love my block mold 🥰 Since I don't make pens, I'm always thinking of what I can use it for 😁
    I'm doing an Extra Special project with it now 🥰

    Nice overview of the mold development. Have been following you as you started making those molds, it's been fun to watch the development as your designs have evolved. They really are great molds to use for casting, the extra headroom for more resin is really useful.

    I love your molds. They are easier to get into the pressure pot than other brands because they aren't so flimsy. Saturday Morning Cartoons is a wonderful welcoming community. It is always entertaining. You and Jakie make a great combination, working together on the show. And the giveaways are always so amazing, because we get to see them created.

    Jake, well done those are impressive! As an old bowl turner I am constantly fashioning containers for my resin wood bowl projects. Just can’t afford my own machine to make forms and then molds! Any chance you could find it beneficial to you (profitable) to make silicone bowl shape mold of various diameters? I would hope there would be a market out there? I am not aware of any completion, at least that I have found. Keep up your great work, videos and creativity. Stay safe.

    • @JakeThompson
      @JakeThompson  Рік тому +2

      Thank you.. I appreciate it… I have thought about bowl molds but I have to stay in my lane so to speak… I need these to get out there more before I can start making other things. I’m thinking about how the new 3D printer could help out with that.

    Why does Jake make these molds? Cause there was a spot at the top for the best molds around that nobody could fill!
    Jokes aside, I don't really know of any molds that I've personally seen that can compete on any legitimate level. The durometer of the silicone is just right, the wall thickness and mass are perfect, the capacities are such that it's difficult to get it wrong, overall they're just really really really good molds. 💪🦆👍

    It is funny how it works out. You only made the molds to make it easier for you to make the blanks you were trying to create and sell. Now you mostly sell the molds because even though making the mold is easier once your actual "form" is built.... people are willing to pay way more money for the molds than they are the actual product you make with them. It was your channel that got me started using HDPE molds, but it's funny cause all I actually use them for now is as reliable sturdy forms to make silicon molds.

    Do you need mold release on silicon molds?

      @@Tim.Traveler mold release will definitely prolong the life of the mold.. I have molds that are 3 years old and still going strong.. I’m not sure that would be the case if I hadn’t used mold release.
