#smoothcast300

My eye bases are really improving! No bubbles in this batch! 😲 I started using Smooth-Cast 300 recently and it’s such instant gratification. 10 min cure time! #bjd #legitbjd #balljointeddoll #bjdeyes #bjdeyemaking #resineyes #bjdstagram #doll #dollstagram #dollsofinstagram #resin #resincasting #smoothcast300 https://www.instagram.com/p/B7J1JcDJPLq/?igshid=9z9msgi7x6nu

Trying to get some casting done today for some upcoming projects I'll have after I finish up the last of my drawing commissions. Also Testing out some pigments for the resin I'm using. 😁 I'm slowly experimenting with using flesh color for the gums on jawsets, so in the future I won't have to totally hand paint all my parts. 🐾 🐾 #aunumwolf42 #aunumart #casting #sfx #moldmaking #resin #resincasting #pigment #smoothonproducts #smoothon #smoothcast300 #fursuitmaker #fursuitjawset #jawset #teeth #wolf #costumemaker #costumemaking #canines #cosplay #cosplaymaking #artistsoninstagram

So this happened last night.... . @downenphotography and I had a short photoshoot last night for an editorial piece we have been working on. This suit is still WIP but GAH! I am so happy this is turning out like I had hoped. 💚🖤💚🖤 . . Thank you @smoothon for making this costume possible. I am in love with this silicone casting method! . I’m using Dragon Skin silicone with Cast Magic metallic green and pearly green colors (and a dash of green fabric paint). I’m using Sil-Poxy to glue the silicone to the suit. . . #hela #thor #thorragnarok #cosplay #costume #costuming #bodysuit #silicone #siliconeonfabric #smoothon #cosplayphoto #downenphotography #handmade #htv #resin #smoothcast300 #resinmold

Making a RESIN mold to cast SILICONE . . I did a test with using silicone as a release agent instead of Ease Release, vaseline or any of the other usual release agents. My prior tests with those agents all failed. . . This time, I used a thinned layer of Dragon Skin silicone. I applied it sparingly to the master. In this method you will lose some detail, so keeping it as thin as possible is important. Tinting the silicone with a color will help you see where the silicone is building up around the edges of your master so you can brush it away. . . After the silicone cured (about 1.5 hours), I poured Smooth-Cast 300 into the mold box and allowed it to cure (about 15 minutes). . . The final resin pour is a beautiful replica of the master, with the additional bonus of being extra shiny and smooth on the surface! Now I'm wondering if my sanding and sealing the master was over the top. Hmm.... . . I am going to be using this method for the remaining mold boxes I need to make for Hela's suit details. You can use this method for silicone, clay, and even thermoplastics (worbla, etc). Just remember to consider whether or not you will need a release agent for the material you are casting. Do small tests first. . . #hela #thorragnarok #thor #cosplay #silicone #siliconeonfabric #smoothon #platinumsilicone #smoothcast300 #dragonskin #molding #moldingandcasting #castingsilicone #costuming .

This is what 16 molds and (almost) 4 gallons of resin looks like! . THANK YOU for your support everyone. I don’t know that I’d still be here plugging away if it weren’t for all of you! ❤️❤️❤️ . #moldmaking #resin #resinmolds #smoothcast300 #silicone #hela #thorragnarok #bodysuit #siliconeonfabric #silpoxy cosplay #costume #costumefabrication

Nothing like ringing in the new year than with some resin mold making! . . #hela #thor #thorragnarok #moldmaking #smoothon #smoothcast300 #silicone #dragonskin #siliconeonfabric #cosplay #costume #costumedesign

Happy Easter! And Happy #SyndullaSunday! 💚🧡 • Here are some closeups of my Kalikori I made for the @wondercon masquerade. This prop has a lot meaning for me as it’s basically like a family tree for Hera Syndulla and has the piece she adds in honor of Kanan’s life 💚 When I made this, I wanted it to have a handmade/hand carved quality to it. I was loose with my paint brush work in places, trying to make this piece look like carved wood with stains. • It has a wood base and core, with eva and craft foam body and details. Kanan’s piece was sculpted, molded, and cast in ebony smooth cast. All hand painted by me. • • Photos by @deeganmariephoto #herasyndulla #herasyndullacosplay #starwars #starwarsrebels #starwarscosplay #starwarsrebelscosplay #kalikori #twilek #twilekcosplay #foamprop #diy #acrylicpainting #smoothcast300 #wondercon #wonderconmasquerade #wondercon2018
