Teach me how to do good push molds master.
Really, I am not an expert by any means. But here is how i did it more or less.
As with all molds, you need enough to cover the master and quite a lot more. I got 4 rods of it, which is barely enough for most epic minis and parts
You also need a smallish open box capable of sustaining some pressure from the inside. I used a thick plastic thing from a bits storage unit i got from a DIY. You also need a rigid ”lid” fitting into the inside of the box. This will keep the pressure applied uniformly counteracting skewed results.
Then immerse the stuff into boiling hot water. Dont underdo this. Really hot so that it is truly goey after about 3 minuters.
Take half of it to form the bortom half of the mold. Put it into the box and cover the bortom roughly evenly. Put the master on too and push it in halfways. Be attentive and make sure your moldline runs where it is suppose to to avoid too much messy clearing up. Use e.g. a brushhandle and push into corners to help align molds later. Let cool until completely rigid again. Takes a couple of minutes. Reheat remaining stuff and cover the master and bottom half. If you want you could apply pressure in this step to make the mold as detailed and dense as possible. I used a Clamp. I have not used a rigid enough lid to distribute pressure but it has worked alright most of the times....
Again allow to cool. Then take the mold out. This is a bit fiddly. I used a sculpting tool. Carefully pry the two halves apart and remove master. Add your medium to both halves of the mold. Carefully. This is important. Use a tool to get it into the tricky bits. Make sure you have a minimum of surplus medium. Too much will distort shape and cause massive cleanup...
Join filled mold and put into the box lid on top and then clamp dont overdo it, check box for signs of warping. Wait 3-4 hrs (for my mix of milliput and GS).
Et viola...
