- A request by a fan named Patrick was accepted although it represented a huge challenge. First, finding the old fiberglass mold from the 70's, then, fixing the leaks and gaping holes in the mold, and then, trying to lay up latex in the fiberglass mold, which is very difficult. Somehow, we managed to get masks out of fiberglass molds in the 70's, but I don't know how we did it. It just doesn't skin very well. This video chronicles my efforts to make that mask and the heartbreaking result.

Aaron, if you (at any time) need a machinist to make you parts, e-mail me. I'll make them for 1/4 the price due to the fact that you continue to make my childhood memories come back to life. It brings a tear of joy to my eye.
Technically, Aaron would have about, like three full Rockafire Explosions, because he has characters and other parts lying all around creative eng. I'm sure if he went searching around, he would be able to combine the miscellaneous parts and put cosmetics on them, put them in crates, and he would have more Rockafire Explosions to sell.
he has more
the work you went through to get this guy a mask is amazing
I'm so excited I'm going to Creative engineering during spring break :OOOO
Did you?
Well I just went this spring break 2021
i'm glad you're not giving up, mr. fechter, keep up the good work.
The sound of the latex pouring is extremely satisfying!
just want to drop a line and say thanks for giving us the behind look on how it is all made. you have been part of my child hood for as long as i can remember. I got to see the rockafire when there was a showbiz pizza place in madison WI. that was when i lived in lake mills (a small town here in WI) at that time. So any ways i thought i should share this with you and i am happy to see therockafire still going today.
this was a great watch, your constant perseverance is very inspiring. thank you for posting this :)
I pour latex in silicone molds and it's tricky. The first issue is you are using liquid latex that is made to be used with plaster molds. I use a thicker latex that sticks and builds up very thick. The second thing I do is I duct air from a dehumidifier into the mold so that it blows it dry much more quickly and doesn't allow the latex to "sag" while it's drying.
Last but not least - even with thick latex and a dehumidifier blowing on the thing, it takes a couple of weeks for it to dry enough for you to pull a good casting.
Wow, I've never seen Gooney Bird, even though I've heard so much about him. How cool.
I hope you guys are still in business and that you are training an apprentice or two so that these skills are never lost. As long as the animatronic characters exist, there will be a need for someone to do proper restorations and repairs on them.
I still watch these videos because I'm so amazed how my mask came out! :)
Aaron your a dedicated artist
that's pretty cool, even tho it didn't work out, I'm sure you can make an even better plaster mold from that plug.
Look at those guns! I would not want to be in a fight against Aaron!
Lol!
same!
Can't wait to see part two, I hope you'll be able to make another mold.
Latex covered wooden Blocks is 2016 "Best children's toy of the year"
Diggin' that Harry Nilsson soundtrack.
even if it didnt turn out, its really cool seeing the process done. cant wait to see what you do next~
Hopefully he makes a Pt. 2
Im subprised he still works
Thats what i said after getting a dusty 2007 laptop from the attic.
Does anyone know what brand of latex Aaron uses???
Big difference... the Loony Bird mold is made of fiberglass. The other molds are made of clay/plaster or whatever. Obviously, the composition of fiberglass/resin is incompatible with the latex, hence why it's not thickening up properly. What happened to the original plaster mold for the Loony Bird? Of course, someone at sometime probably added something to the fiberglass mold (perhaps a type of powder?) or to the latex, to make it not negatively react (or not react (in the case of coagulation), as the case may be) with the fiberglass. :-D What that was, is anyone's guess... though Google may yield up some answers, with enough persistence.
Wait a sec... latex has water in it, doesn't it? And plaster can absorb water. Maybe the issue is that the fiberglass/resin isn't absorbing enough water (or fast enough), to make a thick layer of latex, to form a mask! A layer of water absorbing material (talcum powder, perhaps?) applied to the inside of the fiberglass/resin mold was probably used to make up the difference! Hmm?
DAMN, Aarons got some guns...
It's so amazing how it works..I know Patrick(not me lol ikr) Loves Gooney!!! 😄
The Point!!! It was my first record and still my favorite!!
I'm so sorry that you are having trouble making a going bird mask Aaron.
Love the way the latex smells brah!
Aaron! I see that they filmed some parts of the new movie Keanu in your factory! cool!
I know Patrick! He's an awesome friend of mine! It's amazing of how these masks are made! (Even though sometimes it fails)
Haha! I know him too! X'D
If I ever see you ,I would like a dook larue with the 1982 face design!
Maybe try to put a heat lamp on the mold while trying to make the mask! Just a thought though!
this is Zach Aldrich I like ur video dude
Wow, I never thought about how you would need to check the molds when they got old, I guess it makes sense.
Yup
I wish the rock afire explosion was still here
so I can see them in really life
.... Mitzi is my favorite
+Amada Romero they're still at the creative engineering warehouse( fully functional and everything)
+ShowbizPizzaYes BabyShowNo. thanks
I seen them when I was little
i love animatrinics
Good thing jeff came and saved you
God provides to those who pray...every time.
Can you do a video on the hard luck bears like showing the molds and showing the Santa show molds
I love you Aaron
wow that's sad :v Rolf Dewolf I love him !!!!!!!❤❤❤❤😳
you should do more videos like these
I agree!
i really want a full fatz animation
I like his shirt.
I was watching the trailer for key and peele movie And in the background I saw the rockafire explosion in the background do you have any opinion on that
Was it a movie about a cat
hi i love you guys so mush
Latex bricks - Now only 20 dollars.
Are you working on reselling the animatronic kit?
What ''Band'' Is the Gooney Bird from?
Aaron you should do a video on the wolf pack 5 so we can see the progess.
He doesn't have the time at the moment
We all want wolf pack 5
I'm no chemist, but I don't think you should be breathing in fiber glass like that
+Otaking Mikohani why are you on everything
+Otaking Mikohani Thanks Mom!
+therockafire Lol soo true!
+therockafire Why didnt you make a Thats what she said joke at 0:35? Very unlike you Aaron.
yeah Aaron. Why?
How u make latex, plaster mold Aaron????
Attempts were made
whats the price for an animatronic?
+therockafire I have a question, is there restrooms available during tours or no?
Probably one or two.
I found two there when I was there lol
Wow, you are surprisingly muscular! Good for you, man. Shame about the trouble that mold caused you, tho, haha.
Silly question but what video editing program did you use?
Hi, Mr. Fechtor. I was wondering, when will you put the Dook LaRue mask back on eBay?
when is there going to be new vids
creating a gooney wooney
when he did the latex a second time and had to wait about 24 hours it was my birthday!!
Don't you need a release agent for latex when using fiberglass molds?? They show this on How It's Made all the time.
I wished he'd do a update video on Wolf pack
Nothing to update on
I saw a moon rocker mold in the FNAF birthday video. Maybe he's going to work on them sometime.
Hopefully!
CAN YOU MAKE A VIDEO FOR HOW TO MAKE THE MASKS OF THE ROCK A FIRE EXPLOSION
dear Mr fetcher what happened to the wolf pack 5 restoration?
Will Russel never supplied the payment, so it is on hault until someone wants it/when Aaron has extra time and money
Looney Bird CEC o ok
Looks like this experience wasn't worth the...
Goo
who's "we"
What's the music? It reminds me of Harry Nilsson...
It's from the movie "The Point"
Dragonsbane58 Turns out it _was_ Harry Nilsson. Thanks!
I thought that music sounded familiar. I haven't watched "The Point" in years. I think I've still got it recorded on one of my old VHS tapes somewhere.
Rip
the beatles?
I actually really like the music and I havent heard every beatles song(so thats why iw as asking haha), and its amazing how you still managed to get the latex out and fix up the mold!
no its the bands songs
I love the Beatles:) they are awesome:)
+Common Band Meme It's not The Beatles it's Harry Nilsson.
can you do a mizit one please I never see a mizit mask.
Mizit. I know it was autocorrect but its funny.
is it looney bird or is gooney bird a different character
diffrent characther
Maybe you should invest in a 3D scanner.
Oh dear Aaron :(. Are you guys still selling the experimenters kit?
+Aden Thie -Not for a while..I am developing version II and I don't want any more people waiting for delivery. So, I'll let you know when it's ready on my web site.
Great! So you are Aaron himself? I really grateful for you replying. You have probably heard this soo many times, but you have literally changed my life!
+therockafire is it going to be as expensive as version 1?
+Mikey Blue Eyes I hope not!
+Looney Bird CEC same
That is how you make the mask

Slowly getting the vibe or Creative en working again!, maybe you might get re employ somebody!, when more people start ordering more things of course
He has 2 employees as of now:
Him and Andrea (Aaron's new official CEI artist)
Ow sorry, I didn't know she was officially working there, That's great though! Thank you.
No prob!
Won't be to long until it gets back into full swing and Show biz reopens ;). I wonder how popular it would be if it did? D:
Showbiz will never reopen. Aaron has already confirmed that he is out of that buisness.
you made goony bird
Gooney is so cute!
+Looney Bird CEC did aaron voiced gooney bird?
I'm 90% sure he did...
+Looney Bird CEC and looney bird too
+Looney Bird CEC gooney bird looks like you
Boop
Yessss
😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢😮😮
its so funny becuase you can make a mask for free and its like you are print 900 dollars every time
It's a damn racket!
therockafire xD btw I’m a premium subscriber how do I receive the old premium videos my email is sidigmc@gmail.com for proof
Well you do have to account the cost of the latex and time it goes into making these masks so they aren't really free when you make them
Firsy
The Point!!! It was my first record and still my favorite!!
