Make A Two Piece Fibreglass Mother Mold | Full Series

Make A Two Piece Fibreglass Mother Mold | Two Part Series.

Note: On occasion we make a two piece fibreglass mother mold, but we advise to make fibreglass mother molds with at least three pieces, to avoid any problems with removing the fibreglass mother mold pieces away from the latex mold.

Part One: 0:00
NB: Correction to video: Put wax on first and then PVA – I had a brain malfunction during applying the wax and PVA during this video.

Building a two-piece fibreglass mother mold using polyester fibreglass resin, fibreglass matting & MEKP catalyst for the mother mold. Aluminium tape is used for the seam, plus PVA mold release and Carnauba wax for the mold release agent.

Part Two: 11:39
In this part we attach wooden legs using fibreglass to the fibreglass mother mold. We also drill holes for bolts to keep the mother mold secure and in place, to keep the latex mold in shape ready for concrete casting.

Materials | Fibreglass Laminating Resin

In this materials video we talk about the polyester laminating resin we use here at Dramamask Evolution to make fibreglass mother molds, along with the MEKP catalyst, strand mat, etc.

This video is a reference and to compliment the fibreglassing videos on the channel, which include making fibreglass mother molds, casting with fibreglass and more…

Materials | Liquid Latex

by

Many people have been asking which brand of latex we use, so we put this video up, showing the latex we use to make latex molds. The liquid latex we use to make molds is made by Polycraft and we use this brand because it has been reliable and durable. We do not prefer any brands over some others, but Polycraft latex has been tried and tested by us and we know this latex won’t let us down.

Part Two | Make A Celtic Mirror | Making The Mold

by

Part two in the series of making a Celtic mirror frame. In this video we make the mold using silicone. The mold in this video was kind of improvised as we went along and as always, there are so many ways to achieve similar results. In hindsight, we should have planned making this mold by perhaps adding inserts and plugs, but the mold ended up as a functional silicone mold in the end. 🙂
