in #life8 years ago

My partner works in the film industry in the prop department and sometimes he makes really cool things for movies and television.
Enjoy these pictures of us making a mold of a Garbage Pail kid using Smooth-On platinum silicone rubber.

@jennwyant, thank you for sharing your knowledge,
I will learn to make it later.

thank you for sharing your process! ive been experimenting with silicone molding recently - I started with the cheap Smooth On version (oomoo, I think?) but would you recommend spending the extra few bucks on the platinum version? I am trying to make a mold of a photo frame, so I can cast cement frames.

Years ago I use to have a store on Etsy and I made these kind of molds, I loved mold making. Nice job

Thanks totally just learning the process as my partner works in film and they do this a lot. :)
