While you're right that the kind of clay doesn't matter too much, there is one consideration you need to make. Steer clear of clay containing sulfur, as the sulfur will prevent the silicone from curing properly, ruining both your model and your mold. Great video as always!

Hi Bob. I'm into indoor climbing myself, and I'm told that clear resin holds brake right in your hands in a way that makes extremely sharp pieces, pretty much like obsidian knifes! Apparently the solution is to use powders into the mix, and that's one of the reasons profesional holds are always color. The powders helps to keep the hold together. Anyway, that's what I was told, but seems to me something easy to try. May be you can try to broke one hold and see hoy it brakes, and if the result is secure. As always, awesome work!

Bob, I have a friend that was stick welding while wearing his wedding band and accidentally touched the stinger to the top of his ring while the underside was sitting on the welding table. It was glowing red hot instantly. He had to run to the sink and cool it before he could clip it off. Just another good reason for QALO.

I made a bunch of those a couple of years ago. I suggest using foam instead of clay to get a nice and even texture. Also it's a good idea to put a washer into the final mold before you pour, this disperses the forces when you bolt it onto the wall and makes the hold much more durable. Most imporantly, put some poly fibers into the mixture before you pour it. I've seen holds break and shatter that didn't have this reenforcement.

Nice hold! A couple of tips for next time you make one of these: Someone said to carve foam rather than clay for more evenness in texture. Foam is great and delicate and not all foam is the same. I never used clay on smaller holds, just larger hollow-back holds. If you do go with foam, make sure to carefully glue down the finished form to an even flat piece of cardboard so the silicone doesn't get under the mold and float the foam piece. Foam can be really unforgiving, but so can clay. You could use a more malleable wall-material to help save on silicone use. I've used metal air-duct tape, doubling up pieces to build up the wall, then folding-in the tape so the thickness of the silicone is reduced to maybe a couple of centimeters around most of the hold. For this same reason, you will want to make sure to pour enough silicone so that you cover the form you're molding by a couple of centimeters, as well. Not too thick so the hold is impossible to pull, and not too thin you wreck your mold. You'll want to check to for dust, hairs, or string before you pour because they can cause tears in your silicone after it's set, so that when you're pouring urethane, you don't get major deformations in your hold you have to sand off later, or scrap the hold. Also, tears in the mold mean the silicone doesn't last as long because the stress of pulling the hold from mold will exacerbate any damage in the mold. One more thing, when setting your silicone mold, make sure it's placed on an even surface. You'll avoid a lot of sanding the hold to make-up the difference, which can diminish or eliminate entirely complete features of the hold.

Regarding proper silicones to use for molding block molds (the kind you did in this video) I suggest using 1065 Burmans Silicone. It’s 1 base to 10% catalyst. It holds up for years and captures every detail. A little more pricey but worth the quality. The cure time is roughly 12 hours depending on the environment but you will have enough time to evacuate (de-gas) the product. I also suggest doing a “high pour” when pouring your silicone to avoid air bubbles. Hope this helps!

I bought the Qalo ring for the exact same reason. Almost lost a finger with a class ring once. Also, be careful when mixing clays and silicones when making molds. I believe air dry clays have sulfur in them which can inhibit curing in certain types of silicones. I think it's the platinum cure silicones. There are sooooo many variations of silicones!

if you are running out of silicon or mold material, you can just add pieces of wood or whatever you have handy on the outskirts of the mold where it won't touch the buck. this will raise the silicon level by filling in areas that don't matter.

Another way you could do this (and prevent spinning) would be to put a metal bar or something along those lines in the bottom when you're building the shape. This way you can just drill one main hole to connect the hold to the bar, then have two screws in the bar (one on each side of the main hole) driving into the wood. Then you just put the hold on the bar and bolt it down and your axis locking screws are hidden.

yes it's possible, but you might want to reverse the process and profit from the fact that silicone sticks to nothing but itself. personally, I'd pour a layer of silicone, let it harden then pour some more and press the rock into the silicone (you might want to use mold release on the rock though), make sure you keep a part of the rock out of the silicone as you need a flat spot. then you demold, clean, cast and demold again, the only catch is that you have to drill the hole (in a drill press is better for straightness) and make a flat spot, you can so that using a Forster bit or you could get away doing it with a spade bit both of which will give you a center mark to then drill the bolt hole
