Today's Special: knuckle Sandwich
So I started to mold the Brass knuckles using clay, but it didn't turn out well. I think it was also the crummy plastic I was using. All the guys on the modeling forums have been using: www.smooth-on.com for their casting needs. So I broke down and bought the starter kit. Good stuff here very informative. Guides, DVD, and all the chemicals to make magic happen. So let's go to the pics:
Get it all started and make the mold of the knuckles. Takes about 6 hours for the mold to cure. You have to make sure it's stirred REALLY well
After that I poured the plastic into the mold.
Only takes 20 minutes for the plastic to cure, and man does it get HOT!!
And Ta-Da!
Of course make sure you only use what you need of the plastic. It sets real fast I didn't have any other molds and was left with this.
A cup of hardened plastic. Oh well. I'm going to make a few more pairs tonight. later
