Oyumaru Reusable Modelling Compound Assorted Colours 24 Pack

Product Information

You can weigh the quantities but I find simpler to take the right quantities with a syringe, specially for small pieces. Is important to always take the compound A with one syringe and the compound B with another one. If you change the syringe a part of the resin will cure inside it and render it useless. I had wondered about pouring resin into oyumaru.. anyone tried that? the exotherm of the resin concerned me.. would your average resin really get hot enough to reform the mold? Because Oyumaru melts in hot water, however, you can’t bake polymer clay items in the mold. You also want to keep Oyumaru molds away from hot areas such as attics and cars in summer. How Good Are Oyumaru Molds?

Honestly, I've turned away from instant mold products for the time being, partly because of the issues mentioned by the OP. In my town, there is an art school which has spawned lots of art supplies stores - some of these sell RTV silicone (not instant mold, takes half a week to make a two part mold) at prices cheaper than the internet. While start up costs and learning curve can be significant, here it is cheaper mold for mold and cast for cast than the instant mold + epoxy method. Instant Mold, like most other pleasurable objects, should be firm yet slightly rubbery to the touch.

Once soft, shape as you like or impress original. If you change your mind and want a new mould, just re-heat in water and start again! And again. And again. And... so on. Last week I talked about finding, collecting, and storing bits. This week, I’m gonna talk about making them.

this stuff is amazing, and for the hobbyist like gold. However there is room for improvement to get finer details. When I first looked at instant mold, it became apparent that its re-branded 'Oyumaru' a Japanese craft item. Even imported, its cheaper and available in many colours. Reproducing your favorite helmet for an entire homebrew Guard Regiment instead of spending a fortune on bits. Is better to make smaller molds that a larger one that contains several pieces as the Oyumaru will have less time to cold down in a small mold and the copies will be more detailed. I have chose to make two separated molds: one with the feet and head and one with the legs. I could have done one for each piece but they are small enough pieces, making it unnecessary.

Here’s the servo-melta ready for barrel-drilling and paint. Although the recast bits look a little rough before priming, they look as good as the originals once painted. We offer 3 different materials to make your molds: polymer clay, Siligum and Oyumaru. Each subject has its specificity.
