Short video of mixing and casting silicone... here I've just poured it into an ice-cream scoop. This is the first part of creating the 2 part mould used to press and shape heated acrylic.
It's really not a great video - poorly edited to remove my flailing hands from in front of the camera, but you do get to see the process of seeing the silicone going from gooey to bouncy rubbery goodness.
I had extensive videos of other construction a couple of weeks ago... but the files must have been WAY TOO BIG, and couldn't get them off my camera for all the effort I put in.
So, there is this... hopefully it helps clarify any processes I've mentioned in my blog!

ReplyDeleteLOL. Revenge of the Silicone Moulds, Part II: This Time It's Personal. Bwahahaha.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I meant that the mould has 2 components. What can I say... I'm tired!
