sugar glass is basically false or fake glass made out of sugar, its highly brittle and used for making movies, if you ever see glass shatter in a movie its sugar glass for safety

the mold should not be made for edible objects however because of the mold release

this was really nice and instructive. simple and functional.

@PiggywinkProductions I am not familiar with sugar glass, so cannot answer you.

Great video, but I don’t understand the rice part because it seems like an unnecessary mess. If your object is too complex to use a mathematical formula to determine volume, you could just cover the model and clay in plastic wrap first.

Tap,

Great video! Can these molds be used to create a lost wax cast mold?

Thanks,

Tap! Tap plastics!, the fantastic!. . . PLASTIC PLACE!. Awesome short tutorial.

thanks for the tips. I’ll try that method on WarHammmer 40,000 miniature sprues later!

Will this mold work for making replicas of a tough composite material such as carbone fiber and fiberglass with resine?

@td84 The trick is to figure out a way to seal the openings without damaging the part. Silicone sealant might work because it can usually be peeled off after it has dried. You would need to experiment to find the best method.

@smallwonderz You would have to make the original out of clay, Sculpy, wood, or whatever material you choose. Then the mold process will allow you to duplicate that part.

@RazedByWolvs Yes, but if you need many of them, then it becomes cost effective.

can you use rubber cement?

@fredshack3 This process will probably work for you. All our videos can be seen at our website. We have over a dozen just on molding and casting
