hey guys we are back and I’m super
excited because today is the day we get
to rip open these silicone molds and see
how our pokeballs turned out these have
been sitting out for about a day and a
half now and they still look really
shiny it almost looks like you could
touch it and get sticky fingers even see
bubbles forming on the top here however
this silicone has fully cured and should
be completely rubber check this out so
this is our leftover silicone and you
can see it just peels right out of the
bowl and leaves the bowl almost as clean
as when we started it’s almost like a
rubbery skin super stretchy look at that
well as cool as this is this is garbage
and we can throw that away the time has
come to extract our pokeballs and I
don’t think we’re going to be able to
get these silicone chunks straight up
and out it created a vacuum seal and
that’s going to be nearly impossible now
to clean up these edges we can just take
an exacto knife and just kind of carve
around to clean everything up a little
bit now obviously we’re not going to be
able to pull this thing over the bottom
so we’re just going to take this and
pull them off the base plate there we go
the hot glue served its purpose so we
can peel that away oh man the friction
that’s really tough you know might be
best if I just cut this thing with a
hacksaw
[Music]
there we go with your acrylic cut we can
just split it open set it off to the
side and there is our rubber plug so
there we go you can see we’ve got a
solid chunk of silicone now the acrylic
is fully removed and on the bottom all
we have is this layer of hot glue and
then our pokeball inside so let’s use
something like an exacto knife to slowly
carve away the silicone to see if we can
extract the pokeball and salvage
ourselves a silicone mold and we got to
make sure we don’t scratch up the actual
pokeball itself because it doesn’t
belong to me
making some good progress here
there we go that makes me wonder oh yeah
so looking inside here it looks like we
did get some little air bubbles along
the ridges which is a little bit too bad
but it’s definitely something we can
work with all right down to the last
piece here yeah all right one side has
released we can get the rest of the ball
out just by simply peeling the silicone
away and gently prying the ball back we
had a little silicone that went
underneath that hot glue and there it’s
released in almost as good a condition
as that went in there’s a chance that
even with these imperfections we still
be able to cast it it will come out
fairly clean so I’m just going to stop
there we’re going to call it good and
theoretically we should be able to put
this thing back together and now we’ve
got a little hole where we can pour in
anything that we want and cast ourselves
our own little pokeball I like having
the rocks in there because it adds
weight and I can probably just set this
on my bookshelf and leave it kind of as
a centerpiece that’s really cool now
we’ve got these two halves and we press
together it creates a little opening in
the top where we can pour in anything
that we want and make ourselves our own
little pokeball
so this is pretty much going to be the
same deal as the last one but I got to
be a little more delicate
[Music]
there we go I can feel that letting go
now and boom there’s our ball salvaged
now this is kind of cool look down
inside here and inside the mold you can
actually see all the battle wounds the
battle brews pokeball wounds which is
going to translate into our castings
when we make them stuff that look kind
of cool there we have it
mold number two good to go you see the
thing causing us problem was the
silicones hanging up in these little
gaps here
those aren’t completely airtight
unfortunately it still work it still
works
look at the way the silicone actually
seeped inside the pokeball and collected
all these rocks silicone has this
amazing way of creeping into every place
that is not completely airtight the nice
thing is though it cleans up very easily
doesn’t make that big of a mess the
electrical cords actually got sucked
right into the silicone and now they are
rubberized or free but most everything
out here now so this is pretty cool guys
now that we got ourselves a Pokeball
mold what do you want to see me do with
it I had one idea I thought might be fun
so I went down to the store and picked
up a couple of colored candles so all
that’s left to do now is take this wax
and throw it in a pot so we can melt it
down pour it into these molds and then
let it sit overnight so tomorrow we can
open these things up and see what kind
of results they actually produce and if
it actually works out I’ve got an idea
for a future project that might be a lot
of fun so there you have it guys we
successfully extracted our pokeballs
from the silicone and now we’ve got a
couple of molds filled with wax and
you’ll find out in another video exactly
how they turn out and Devin you’ll be
happy to know I got your ball back out
scratch-free it’s come back your way and
to everyone else thanks so much for
joining me for this experiment I’ll be
looking for you in the next video talk
to you then we got the chocolate bar out
and the silicone cleaned up and now
we’ve got a custom silicone mold for
making snicker bars mmm
