🪣 Molding and Casting
Updated at 2024-07-08 00:27
Molding Materials
Wagnersil 22NF Silicone:
- 1:1, quite fluid
- 6 min - 30 min
- easy to work with
Blue Stuff:
- reusable
- works ok but not very fun to use
- tiny details get lost
Moldable Plastic:
- TODO
- would be reusable...
Casting Materials
GSW Acrylic Resin:
- quite runny so easy to pour to molds, easy to mix as you can add water gradually
- not usable for thin casts, requires some thickness
- hardens to white ceramic in 30 min - 24 hours
- the result is hard with good details but brittle
Mosou Epoxy Resin:
- leaves sticky residue
- really runny and levels easily, leaves some bubbles
- hardens to fairly clear in 36+ hours
- heats up quite a bit while hardening
