And here is where I started to record. I will add more videos as I get them edited. It's fast but easy to understand. See you after the next edit!

I'm just wondering........is PBR required or can you substitute for something else?

Great job on the videos, as usual a great finished product!!

Smoothon.com has several tutorials as well as a list of products that are used for each step. You can get some of the sample sizes and try small projects to get started. Then slowly progress up to bigger things.

thanks from your neighbor on the west side of the sound.

Thanks neighbor! The skull is just flat on the bottom. It's just a prop skull, good for shelfs, fireplaces, reapers, batting practice etc...

Cool thread. I can't wait to see the rest of the process.

bfjou812, You could possibly substitute the PBR but I will not be responsible for mold failure!

Here is the next video: part 3

im sure this either has already been covered and I missed it or will be covered in the near future, but if you screwed the assembly back onto the board and its all sealed up, how are you going to fill it with foam for the positive? by the way, the negative of the mold (the silicone part) looked friggin sick turned insideout like that...very cool.

How many skulls can you make with that mold before it wears out?

DannyK, there is a pour hole in the board. Watch the end of part 3 you will see it. In the next video I will be pouring foam so you will get a good look at it then too.

Dionica, I would guess several hundred skulls could be made with this type of mold.
