I like 3d printing my mold boxes, i print them in vase mode and it makes for really easy demolding.

Very cool!! I never stressed about making a mold box. :) My son did when I asked to use some of his Lego pieces to make a mold box many years ago now. He was so worried he would not get them back. Of course he did. :D I did not tape them up though inside and really had almost no leakage of the silicone. I use anything for making a mold box... or even as a mold. Once I cut a tennis ball in half to use as a resin mold. :P It worked and I still have the tennis ball halves. - Heidi

You can add clear plastic acrylic sheet to make box for see through. It will helpful. Good trick. Thanks for your video. It was great.

I have totally used that Lego trick! I also save any of those little plastic applesauce cups since most of the molds I make are small

I wanted to let you know that I tries using cleaned out yogurt cups to mix clear slow resin. The resin came out all cloudy. Must have reacted with the plastic cup. Live and learn. At least it was a small pour. Love he how toos. Mike

Great video, thank you. What do you think about springform cake pan with removable bottom and contact paper as the removable bottom. I would tape around of course.
have a lot of moulds to make for shallow flat ornament business. What do you think? Would that work?

I use PVC Pipe up to 4" and can cut with simple saws. I have used disposable aluminum pans like for cooking a cake.

Great advice!
Been looking at the new Amazing Mold Maker silicone to possibly make some small projects so this video was perfect timing.

Great video!! How long does the finished alumilite mold last? Does it deform overtime?

[vishwarajgupta]

Hi, thanks for video. Please suggest what glue should I use for pieces to stick the ground and is easy later on to remove after mold is ready.

[JohnSCrank]

Acetate sheets are great for mold making.

Foam board makes the best mold boxes.
It's all o use. One trick I use is to coat one side of the board with clear acrylic gloss sealer. This is the side of the mold that comes in contact with the rubber. After applying the acrylic gloss, let dry completely. A blow dryer helps. Apply a fine coat of mold release spray. Do this just before you pour your rubber.
