Instant Mold!!!

I was checking out this product through a website I was perusing, I think a lot of us might benefit from it. Best of all, it's reusable!!!

Check out the video.....

Looks nice and easy! Let us all know if you try it.

I will be passing this on to the miniature guys I know.

Someone at scale auto forum tried this a few years back, can't remember the details but they were disappointed.

[Ryan S.]

This looks to be pretty cool. If anyone tries it let us know how it works out.

I'm guessing Cranky opens this thread up thinking he'd find something green and fuzzy for use in the Lab-rat-tory! Lol

[Dr. Cranky]

Very cool, the Japanese also have a very cool version of this . . . and it works really well, and it IS totally reusable. Thanks, Mr. Cruz.

Oyomaru or something like that i swear by it

[Dr. Cranky]

Yes, I definitely have to get some for the Lab-RAT-ory!

[Scale-Master]

There was a similar product on the market years ago, it might still be around, Friendly Plastic. Neat product, but it did not do as much as I imagined or hoped it would, or at least to the detail I wanted. Stayed kind of waxy feeling too. Maybe this stuff is better...?

[sjordan2]

Doesn't look very precise to me, and all the results shown look a bit spotty and wavy. The video wasn't very convincing, but it would be good to hear results from this forum on their use of the product, and if there are tips about how it can be used to its best advantage..

I casted a 32 ford grill with the japanese stuff and it turned out perfect, I will see if I can find some pics of it.

Here's a link to something similar using silicone and cornstarch(I swear!) .

Where's the link?

[crazyjim]

The stuff looks interesting but I'm not ready to try it yet. Would like to hear about somebody's results though.

[shucky]

The Japanese stuff is called Oyumaru. Try this link....http://www.artclayworld.com/cartgenie/prod-696.htm

Read all about this stuff after the SA review came out a few years back. Never tried it though. It may be ok for making simple 1 piece molds for one or two pieces.

Micro mark puts something like this out too, used it more then once, and yep it's reusable too

 

[DumpyDan]

Very cool

[tedd60]

Interesting Stuff.  Anybody here use it yet?

Seems like everybody is waiting for the other guy to try it.

[Styrofoam04]

I love this stuff! Oyumaru +Lego= amazing molds and amazing detail. You can do quick and easy 2 part molds. Don't like hoe it turned out... heat up some water and try again.

I used to cast with rubber molds and it was messy and 1 bubble ruined everything and soo much waste

 

[vintagerpm]

This stuff can real usefull for replicating small(ish) parts. You won't cast a whole 1/24 scale bofy with it. One thing to remember, though, is not to cast anything with a material that causes a thermal reaction while curing. Heat will cause they mold material to soften and lose shape.
