Making A Mold For Roto Casting - Part 1

  • Molds for rotational casting are often made by brushing on layers of rubber. In this video I pour the rubber to make a roto-casting mold.
    The benefit of this method is that this mold can also be used for solid casting resin using a pressure pot.

    • @RobertTolone
      @RobertTolone  Před 2 lety

      Beeswax has two very important characteristics. The first is that it sticks to everything, but nothing sticks to beeswax. So it is an excellent mold release. The second is that it never causes cure inhibition or other bad reactions with rubber or resin. At least not in the materials I have worked with. There are times when mold release sprays are necessary and beeswax would not be a good choice. For instance when you need to prevent rubber from sticking to itself, like when you make a two-part mold. Then a spray release is the way to go.

      No. Most of my work is characters or figures. It’s much easier to break a very complex sculpture into parts and cast them individually than it is to try to make a complex multi-piece mold. I do however make very complex cut molds. These molds have cut lines that follow shapes wherever they need to go to release the part. A rubber mold can have a great many cuts in it and still close up to make near invisible parting lines.
