- Turn those unwantd Sprues into something awesome and in this case its magnetised floor tiles for Warhammer, Dungeons & Dragons or any kind of Table Top Gaming.

I got great results by making mould slightly deeper and filling it with some acetone before putting goo inside, then let it settle down in closed container.
Eliminates literally all voids from surface of cast, because acetone rises on top (and in fact if you have goo in tall jar bottom can harden despite having acetone on top)
Ahh I might have to try that then to make perfectly flat panels =)
So you just pour enough acetone to cover the bottom of the mold?
Hey mate, might not get a reply here, but can you explain your process more in detail: I'm looking for smooth tiles is all. Thanks!
Oh! I wonder! I scored a whole bunch of those railway-hobby rock moulds that I usually use plaster of paris in. I can't see any reason they wouldn't work with sprue goo, and I'd love to reuse more of my sprues -- time to experiment!
Great use of sprues
Thank you =)
I've always enjoyed your sprue projects. It's inspired me to make a few of my own, though I have to leave it overnight or I keep poking whatever I'm to cast
Haha yup must admit I do keep prodding the moulds to see if its firm enough to remove =P
The acetone holes really make it look somewhat realistic.
They do add to it and help make each tile different =)
Good to see you back to sprue projects! You've been an inspiration for some of my own sprue projects. I save all my sprue now!
Thank you, I will be doing at least 1 build a month =)
That would be great for Dungeon Bowl
Dungeon floor tiles are one of the most useful things for any dungeon master.
I still have my foam ones from when I played DND in person.
I may have to do this for the sake of nostalgia
Amazing! I love the push to reuse sprues
Great project, quite enjoyable to watch.
Now this is information I can use! Thanks.
Glad to be of help =)
Holy crap I usually toss them, thanks bro this is extremely useful info.
Cool, check out all the other sprue videos I have on my channel 🙂
Brilliant use of magnets. I want to try this system. Respect to the author, I will wait for new videos.
that's awesome, very creative 👍
Thank you so much =)
It's not a Manta but I'll take it... ;-)
Haha, yup a lot smaller and easier to make =)
These sorts of molding techniques can also be used for making custom bases for miniatures.
Certainly can =)
This looks like a great technique to make walls. Create two slim halves that look like bricks, then glue them together and voilà! Large wall sections for building ruins/castles/etc.
SPRUES Goo is back lol. Excellent video Jon
Cheers, I need to do something with them lol =P
Well I was thinking of getting some sleep tonight, this looks like more fun lol
another inspiring video!
thank you so much =)
This is great because it's the kind of thing you just keep on the back burner and slow-bake a tile or three a day until you can cover a table, or you run out of sprue. 2-3 months of this and id imagine you can have a nice pile of tile
Exactly, its free material to use so its a marathon and not a sprint lol =)
Nice!
thank you =)
Wow, thanks for this video buddy, ive been looking for some new ways to make terrain :(
Cool, more sprue videos to come, hope you are well =)
@@MiniatureHobbyist Im good, just working on terraining some bases, making an ice shelf for my aeldari. Im really impressed with your new videos coming out bud.
Nice, I've got a box of sprues, will see if I can do a 44x60 40k board like this.
awesome, have fun doing it =)
For texturing the foam, you 'd get a better result by damaging it manually with a rock, one by one. Takes longer, but you have control.
This is pretty sick. Shame I trashed all my sprue wast a week ago.
i wonder if one of those vaccum chambers could help getting rid of any bubbles//pockets when doing moulds.
Maybe, I cant afford to buy one to try it though, I need someone else to try =)
This is awesome, I love your channel but I have missed the sprue goo videos. I never like to waste things so they scratch that itch. Have you ever found any texture rollers that won't melt when you use them on sprue goo?
Thank you, yup I have 3D printed rollers and used them on sprue goo, the effect isnt bad but not great either lol =P
Neatened sides make the tiles connect better.
you are not wrong =)
great vid mate! Is there a way to make the spru-goo thinner or more liquid? It doesn't look like a ratio of spru to acetone thing but could make it a bit easier to work with?
Cheers, not that Ive found, leaving it for longer makes no difference, after 8 hours its goo but then doesnt get any gooer, maybe something other than acetone would make it thinner but not sure what that would be, if you find out let me know =)
For a vacuum, have you thought about those bags that you use a vacuum cleaner to suck the air out (usually for storage reasons). Might be worth a video....
Do you think the central warping its due to geting it out of the mold before it fully cures?
Probably, I can be impatient sometimes lol =P
Just recently I had finally gotten my hands on the Gasland's skid dice and was about to settle for a game...When I was hit with a gyrocopter problem. Gyros can fly up to 10k feet in the air, but still can crash into terrian, that means in 32mm scale a 104 YARD (rounded down) piece of vertical terrian piecce would have to be placed on the field. Any Gooey ideas?
Yup play at 5mm scale lol =P
i've been making floor tiles with insulation foam and they are chunky lads. looks like sprue goo may be the way to go for a more portable alternative.
edit: just got to the end of the video and that magnet action is fantastic - im sold
Yup magnets are cool, Im going to make some walls to use with these tiles =)
I tried to make sprue goo and I used nail polish remover to melt the pure because it said a 100 percent acetone, but it never fully melted just make a big Lumb of sprue and even after mixing it and breaking apart the little nubs it never melted what am i doing wrong.
I wonder if sprue goo will work with an injection molder or if it's better to melt the plastic with heat like the Crafsman does.
maybe but when the acetone evaporates it does leave air pockets, if you heat sprues they tend to burn more than melt =P
@@MiniatureHobbyist Maybe a low level heat to melt them? Crafsman grinds them up first too. But yeah,we need to think on better ways to recycle sprues.
Still,if you can get the sprue goo into one mold,why not an injection molder? I wonder if anyone with an injection molder would be interested in risking their equipment to try it out....
@@Merlynn132 I wonder if tossing the sprues into an old blender and turning them into dust would change the consistency?
@@nekrataali Well,technically,yeah,it would. But would they melt instead of burn as dust?
That seems highly toxic and dangerous :D
Hy Guy :D thanks for so much entertainment
im glad you liked it =)
Storing Acetone in plastic? Idk how you are able to do that. Shit straight up eats a lot of plastics
the acetone comes in plastic bottles when you buy it =P
🙌🙌🙌🙌
The algorithym thanks you as do I =)
@@MiniatureHobbyist 😚😚😊
I'm sorry - video won't load...
Way too much work and takes too long.
yup but its a hobby and not a race =P
