Lifecasting Tutorial: Hand casting with mold tube & Silicone

In this tutorial we cover the process of creating a simple hand mold using one of our new 5"x12" mold tubes. This is a great, easy way to make prop hands fast. As mentioned in the video, here are the products we used:

Burry half of it so just the hand is sticking up in the woods

Great video, definitely a nice quick way to mold an arm

How can you make a prosthetic arm that’s like a face mask?

Do not throw that away, it's a waste.

Instead, chop it up into smaller chunks. Next time you pour an algenite, use the bigger chunks along side the liquid so you don't have to use as much liquid.

You mentioned if you wait too long between the mold and the cast, that the alginate will shrink and distort. Would pouring a cast, and just leaving it prevent this? Would you be able to remove the cast at a later time and retain the mold's form?

[Spinocroc]

Always nice to see more videos! Also, if I want to get a poseable cast, would embedding a wire armature work? or the silicone might be too thick for it to properly bend?

Would this method and materials be safe for ...more "sensitive" areas of the body?

About how much silicone did you use to make three models, and can you tattoo on the models?

[HomeHaunter]

Would you be able to post a current price for all your supplies so we each know if this is even in our budget? I don't imagine you used $500 in product but I don't have any idea otherwise.

How would you trim it if any bubbles on the hands, just a sharp knife?

Hello .. amazing job
Can you write down the materials you used?

Hi, I ran into trouble during silicone casting stage, I quickly and thoroughly mixed alginate and poured into mold tube and during the silicone casting the alginate started to release water which didn't let silicone to cure at all, it started releasing it after 30 minutes only and silicone needs to be cured in 30-2hrs, I even tried to use lamp and even oven but it got worse... What shall I do I cannot find right platinum silicone. HELP 🥺

[SLIMDADDY.]

Please what are the name's of the Chemicals you mix in making the mold and it didn't hurt her hands??

[yodakotaa_]

since the alginate 5 has been discontinued what can I use as a substitution for that but that will do the same thing?

[HauntedApparel]

Can ACCU-CAST 380-CC cast cast arms fingers and hands too?

[TheBlackshadow]

[nyasheckles]

How would you create a silicone mold for a torso

[SpeedArtKenPridgeon]

[smallnuts]
