    Question: How many …
    Question: How many points of resin and mold can this make? I can’t find the info anywhere. I was considering buying the resin and mold making stuff separately and in larger quantities if this has too little in the box. Thanks! Best videos ever.

    Room temperature …
    Room temperature vucanising has nothing to do with the set up temp, it’s a process where the rubber turns into a hard flexible substance. You used to use sheets of raw latex rubber clamped around your master and bake them to vucanise them. The casting resin isn’t rtv at all.
    Also you need to use play that is specially made for use with the rtv rubber or it will prevent it from setting up, so you have to get it from the rubber supplier.

    Dead on. In the US you can recreate any original work with the permission of the copyright owner (the maker of the original work).

    As for the video, THANKS! I have been thinking of recreating a few sculpts that I did, and was not really sure how to go about doing it. I have heard good things about easy flow 60 as a two part resin…and the stuff seems to be TOUGH.

    Again, thanks for the great video series. I found it very informative.

    Using lego for years now with oil clay, but until now restricted to plaster molds severely limits the amount of detail you can acheive. Love your tutorials as a former miniatures wargamer and painter i must say your videos have helped in my model work.
