In this instructional how to video, mold making technician Milo showcases the "squish mold" technique, which is very common for making thin-walled resin castings such as casings and enclosures, or in this case a model car body. He then makes an attractive bronze metallic casting from this mold using high-performance TASK 4 urethane plastic. TASK 4 is the perfect choice for a thin-walled creative craft casting like this, as it remains strong even at less than 1mm thickness. *Materials demonstrated in this video* SORTA-Clear Translucent Silicone: https://www.smooth-on.com/product-line/sorta-clear/ TASK Series High-Performance Plastic: https://www.smooth-on.com/product-line/task/ Cast Magic Metallic Powder: https://www.smooth-on.com/product-line/cast-magic/ UVO UV-Resistant Color Tint: https://www.smooth-on.com/product-line/uvo/ Mann Ease Release 205: https://www.smooth-on.com/product-line/ease-release/ --- Make It Now! with Smooth-On https://www.smooth-on.com/ https://www.facebook.com/SmoothOn https://twitter.com/SmoothOn https://www.instagram.com/SmoothOn https://www.google.com/+smoothon -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Adult Supervision Required Keep Out Of Reach Of Children -~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
