In this in-depth video, we'll discuss preparing a silicone sculpture by adding a backing plate, final assembly considerations for a watch project, and applying a Krylon clear coat. This video covers silicone use, mix ratios, additives, waiting times, tastings, and tips for achieving a more beautiful mold. This video is part 1 of a 2-part mold-making process. The mother mold will be discussed in part 2.
I decided to take on this project I had planned several years ago. However, I wanted to add a sculptural element to the watch top. Inspired by the Dream Lady sculpture at Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo, I'll cover the basics of combining this sculpture with Clayton Boyer's Simplicity watch design. I've divided this series into 4 videos: Part 1: Concept/Design and Bracket Design; Part 2: Clay and Modeling; Part 3: Sculpture Casting and Gear Cutting; Part 4: Finishing and Assembly. Thanks for watching!
