I hate to say not to buy this video. But, the quality of the video is much worse than the YouTube videos that are available for free by bitymoldsupply. I would like to think that buying a DVD would offer “premium” content — but that is simply not true in this case. Though individually shorter, the YouTube videos seem to have more detail and are much less monotonous than this DVD.

I’ve been attempting mold making for a few years now and have been mostly self taught. Michaels video filled in the holes, in a lot of the areas that I was having some hang ups. It was so simple once I saw it in action. I like this one enought to try the second video. I’m more interested in the complex molds, but I bought this video to make sure I had the basics, now I feel I do. the reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that if I hadn’t had any experience with making molds, I would have been lost on a couple of steps. A must for those of us learning the mold making process.
