Re: pouring process
There are no axes to grind
here...If you'll read Nicks first post, he asks how to suspend the
"skeleton" inside the mold, I merely told him he will need another
mold for the inside foam, not just the skeleton...I was not referring
to you at all! It's time I sign off this thread, Nick will do just
fine with you and "ItsMe" assisting him.
Cheers Don/R-13

Re: pouring process
What you are leaving this post with out helping this guy, Why I thought you where where full of advive for hm.
even if you dont post it pm the guy and let him know how you put in your rope pvc and chan,
I dont make a silicone doll, but I learned alot from mark. the maker of superbabe. I also know some of the same people you talked to at S/O I know them so when They spend holadays with me. The day after day calls are great jokes.
You do need to make a foam mold for the skulliton or frame. But the guy asked how is it set in side.
Why dont you help him and not give him a runaround. I can not tell him how to its not my place to give up suberbabe secrets
But you can help him with your tequnec.

Brush or pour some additional silicone over the skeleton to firmly attach, and you're good to go. Proceed to close the mold and begin the rotocast.

Start thinking from what Eddiefr's post. He already shine some light for you. Everyone has different design but you have to know the basic technique then apply to your own. This is not rocket science.

Thank you for your reply!
With attention I have read all previous posts - many aspects already becomes more understandable - So now I think on the problem ... may be necessary to do something more than skeleton, such as the body - as a staging basis before pouring the skin (may be breasts, buttocks..) -- me and my colleagues now already trying to cast a double, even triple structure... what do you think)) anyone even reads the current title??--------- and one more problem - what means "rotocast"?? I have no idea) my dictionaries don't have this word

Rotocast means rotating the mold during the casting process.
Good luck!

Thanks a lot)
Your support is very well-timed. Well .. thinking about construction, assemblies, joints as the parallel tasks... except this I cannot yet imagine, how to make the buttocks and breasts as soft as a body of living person, and the rest of the body more rigid, moreover preferably in the same pouring)) -- but certainly I have some unexpected ideas about this. May be you or somebody have any experience on this problem))
Sencerely
Nick

Re: pouring process
Soft shore overall butt & doll means you have to carry the doll around wearing leather or vinyl mittens so a fingernail doesn't dig in and make a permanent indentation, or from sitting on a ledge corner or table/chair edge.
Gel implants in the butt cheeks make for butt cheeks that squish in while still having a tougher against abrasion higher shore silicone hide.
If I would need to rotate or centrifigully spin a mold, I would only build a skeleton with precistion steel joints. On the outer mold shell I would recess/epoxy partially into the mold exterior two stainless steel nuts with a multi inch long threaded stainless steel machine bolt (thinnest ones I can find that will take the stress) through the nuts to screw into a tapped threaded hole in each steel ankle, knee, hip, middle of back, middle of neck, shoulders, back of elbows & bottom of wrists - mostly all screws threaded in from the backside half of the mold to lock the skeleton in suspension between the two mold halves when clamped together.
That would suspend the pvc steel joint skeleton rock solid for rotating the mold & just back out the machine screws when done & patch the dozen or so 1/8" silicone holes by injection by hypo or very skinny cake decorating tip or oil can tip.
Monofilament fishing line suspension has a float risk & wont handle rotating the mold well.
