Instead of a movie I'm watching this for an hour now. I don't feel this time is wasted at all.

I am a big fan of Smooth -on in Korea. After three years, I found a video like this jewelry! It is the most beneficial and enjoyable video of what I found in the world of YouTube for 14 years! I enjoyed this video more than James Cameron's Titanic. I watched this video with beer. The last warm humanism was also perfect. After watching this video several times, I have understood the overall technique of mold keys and ventilation. It will help you to create a complex mold ahead of casting. thank you

17:26 that clay is fantastic stuff! It is smooth doesn't harden while working, adheres to itself really well and doesn't inhibit silicone to cure.
Thank you for introducing me to it.

Well presented. I watched the entire thing and it was well worth it. When you think you know basic stuff, you don’t. I learned a lot of new tips here. Well done!

Thank you so much for doing videos like this. It is vital for someone like me from the other side of the continent (Sweden). Learning so much from you since you are really going into depth about most of the techniques. I have since this video aquired a bunch of your materials and are going to use them soon. An in depth video on the moldmaking and mothermold for something like the larger male statue in this video would be amazing!
