Rob, that is an awesome video. My father was a dentist and I can remember helping him make a jaw/teeth mold and final casting. I always thought of using that process for my woodworking and restoration work but I have not tried it. The process you video documented are the exact steps my father used in his office. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your work and helping others expand their skills.
Thank You Matt !!
Hello my friend. I support the idea of making and repairing the missing pieces in furniture. That sounds good. Thank you for sharing. Warm hug. Yours truly....
Hello, and thank you my friend !
@@FurnitureRefinishingStudio You're welcome.
Thanks for sharing your process! We are replacing several molding pieces in our 120 year old house we just bought and this will serve that purpose well!
Thanks for sharing this technique. Your results were impressive. Since materials can be expensive, I measure the volume of the mold with water, dry the mold well, then mix up a bit more volume of the filler👍
Great video - thanks!
Thank You !!
I've used your technique to replicate a portion of broken leaf carving on the arm of a antique chair using the 2 part silicone mold and fiberglass. Now I'm stumped as to the best way to attach it!
2 part epoxy. Tape it and let it sit..
Thank so much for your very informative video. I have an urn that one of the handle is broken, how can I make a mold of something that is not flat on one side ? The urn handle looks like bunch of leaves. Can you please tell me how to make a mold of it or let me know if you have a video for not flat objects? Thank you!
Hi.. quick question. Got 70 year old vanity (more like a desk today) with three good legs only one in rear is shorter plus broken making it narrower!! Would you suggest that I mold one of the good legs and then use some kind of a tape on the mold of the full leg so I can get an accurate size of the broken piece to duplicate or just replace the whole leg. Thank you
I have a curved molding I made with cold clay. That solution is to liquid, what else can I use? thanks
2:35 can you pls give some info about the case where i cannot just duplicate.
How can I mirror-duplicate?
I understand what you are saying, but molds only duplicate an existing form.
I noticed your gloves-- they don't look like laytex, Rod.. are they Nitrile gloves? I am hoping to make some applied pieces for an old treddle sewing machine that appear to have been broken and some lost. Is there a better glove to wear with mixing the molding compound?
With the current shortage, any gloves will do. I just prefer thicker 9 mil nitrile gloves because I get multiple uses out of the same glove. That's my only reasoning. Enjoy, It's fun !!
Question: I have an old frame that has pieces missing from careless movers. The intricate work is made of plaster. Over the years the pieces have separated and some even loose. Have you ever had to make reproduce missing pieces like this? Is there anything special to consider?
Yes I have, just glue up everything that is loose before attempting and further work. There is a video on my channel from a few years back that may help
Do you have a recommendation of a paint stripper now that the EPA banned methylene chloride?
Klean strip or jasco but the keybis cover it w plastic. Air is not your friend. Let it cook under the plastic for 15 mins. Remove as you scrape. Clean w acetone and maroon scour pads.
Yes, resin can be colored with pigments:

Also, it would seem prudent to add metal or wood rods/wire/wood supports to very thin sections to keep them from breaking.
Thank you for the suggestions !!
