A tip for the wick Robert, dip it in the hot wax and hang it to dry before you fix it in the mould, it makes it much simpler and becomes self-supporting. You also get an actual "wick" not a "piece of string" when you de-mould it.

regarding the calculation of wax for the sculpture, you can calculate the volume of wax needed easily by water displacement. fill a container to the absolute brim with water, put it in another container that can catch overflow. then put in your object. make sure it's completely covered by water. the water that overflows into the outer container is the exact volume of the object. you can then use that volume to measure out a different liquid, in this case, wax.

Bravo, that sure was something new. I tried wax casting and found that controling the right pour temprature can be a problem. I think that moderate heating of the mold does help in some ways. Still amazing to see what some folk artists can do with this medium. Wax has been used as a casting compound producing religious folk articles (figurines, angels etc.) for ages. As I understand there are a lot of old secret formulars and ingrediants around, kept secret outside the family. If you make it to Germany, Bavaria is a good place to look around for wax art. Makes one speechless to see what castings once where (and still are) mass produced without the aid of a pressure pot etc. I think pressure wasn´t even in this world than ....

Great mold and video, very thorough. A couple of tips for you, which you're probably already aware of; A cheap (ebay) pair of medical retractors act as a second pair of hands when cutting open the mould - helpful when scalpels are close to fingers. Soft clay in a syringe with the needle removed creates great spaghetti like 'worms' to seal around mold bases. Cheers Robert.

For this I would say a better outcome would have been had for the majority of the cast to be high temperature tolerance resin cats around a a water solvable plug of some sort...cure the cast ...de mold the cast....dissolve water soluble plug and let dry ...then pour candle into the void created by the dissolving of the plug...this technique while not necessarily the major portion of the cast being what it is here in my comment....wax shrinkage when it cools has always been the bane of pouring high detail candles so a harder wax is generally what would be used here for the visible part of the candle and softer wax used for the core...but harder waxes melt at higher temperature so it may be a problematic combination withe the silicone casting material...the loss of detail in your attempt is more readily apparent because you are looking at the model and comparing it to the candle...would it be that obvious if you only saw the outcome but not the model?

That was a fun watch, thanks Robert! I've got a book called Pop Sculpture about making figurines and collectibles, and they use wax castings during the refinement process. The way they avoid shrinkage, distortion, and loss of detail is preheating the mold in the microwave as well as doing pressure casting. This necessitates a small reservoir of extra wax to fill in as the shrink occurs, like a larger pour funnel integrated into the mold. They also use crayons (white + desired color) in the wax batch to pigment the sculpture's surface and get it more visible, but I'm not sure if those pigments are safe to burn in a candle.
@RobertTolone
3 жыл бұрын
Yes, a reservoir is a good idea. I often rough out a sculpt in clay then re-cast it in sculpting wax to do the final work. In those cases I make the clay sculpture 8 to 10% oversized and place it on a reservoir base. Of course, I am casting it in sculpting wax which has a lot of solids. That reduces the amount of shrink and preserves the detail. I pressure cast it to remove bubbles and also heat the mold so that the wax doesn’t cool while it is being poured into the mold. Still, it shrinks enough to be noticeable.

That is an excellent question Christian. The reason I don’t use it is because it can be difficult to perfectly align the rubber mold with the original case. Also inside the case I cannot see the parting lines. I like to be able to massage, prod and poke the rubber mold into a proper alignment along the parting line. When you cannot see the parting line you can’t tell if it is aligned with certainty.

The important idea here is to carefully fill areas where bubbles of air can be trapped. The problem with techniques like dunking and pouring is that you can’t be certain that air hasn’t been trapped. By carefully identifying problem areas and pre-filling them with rubber you are certain of getting a bubble free mold. Craftsmanship at this stage will save you from having flaws in every casting the mold makes.
