Easy Silicone Mold Making with Phillip from DannerBuilds

Phillip Danner of Danner Builds drops by the lab to show us his secrets for making silicone molds used for casting epoxy resin. Using only a handful of tools you can make your own molds for casting epoxy resin and more. Basic molds can even be made with a scroll saw or etching with a rotary tool. Sharing of knowledge is one of the things that makes the maker community so great - thank you to Phillip and Elizabeth Danner for coming to Narwhal Labs and teaching us their skills and techniques.

Special thanks to TotalBoat and Thunder laser for their support of Narwhal Labs and this project.
