If you had another 20 or 40 they would be gone and on the way to my house!

Gene,
we can discuss!!!!! Im going to be putting a bunch more of these together soon. May hire an apprentice to do these --

 

[eaglewood]

Started on the mold today-- cant deal with this one at a time stuff. Please Use PM for any one looking for these-- DO NOT POST on the board here. Dont want to overstep or bend the rules.

Interest, I want list ? Put me down for a set as soon as you've whipped your padawan in to shape. These are awesome, clay.

 

[Double H]

Looking good clay, glad you decided to make a big mould

 

[eaglewood]

Ok--since Im making the mold and the various sizes, I need to know how many of each size are needed to make a complete set. I know it will vary depending on the style of headpiece, but a good average will be great.

 

[eaglewood]

Here is the first half of the mold-- I MAY have to do it over again as I ran short on activator and it didnt set up correctly-- Im hoping that if I let it sit a couple of more days it may set up, just a bit softer and take a little longer-- if not--oh well, Ill do this side and then back to the other side--

I'd PM Jason on dread size count. Bummer on the activator. Would a heater fan kick it?

 

[Double H]

Looking good bud, bummer on the activator shortage that sucks. How much silicone do you think this would use up overall?

 

[eaglewood]

Well lets see-- I used 4800 grams just on this side-- so double that and you get close to 10000 grams-- divide that by 454 (approximate grams in LB) and you come up with close to 22lbs of silicone for just this mold. Lucky I buy it in 5 gallon buckets.

 

[Double H]

Wow, that is for the estimates bud.

which Jason?

 

[Double H]

Sorry, another question, on average what size foam kit do you use for a full set of dreads?

 

[eaglewood]

A gallon kit will do a full set -set and a half with a little left over.

 

[Double H]

Cool, thanks again Clay

 

[eaglewood]

Halleuah!!!! The mold cured and set up-- I will dam this up and pour the second half tonight!!!!!

 

[Double H]

Woopeeeeee! Get a casting bud

 

[eaglewood]
