So welcome to ReaperCon by the way, this is the first tour of the show. This is our Master's Mold Making Department. We actually have Kevin back here behind you, hard at work. Fortunately, we have Kevin has the work during that ReaperCon. We have a contract coming up and we've got to get the moment ready. We've got to begin on as soon as the show is over. So we don't have to, we can't afford the time to stop. Right. So anyway, in our Mold Making Department, we get the greens from the original sculptors. And I'll step back up just a moment. The greens are cast in a two-part epoxy resin, one part is yellow, one part is blue. And they're thoroughly next. They become green. We call the stuff that we use that, that two-part resin. We call it green stuff. We call the scopes that come as a result of it. You can tell we're a very creative bunch. You guys can pass this around. This is an actual green that's already been pressed. Try not to drop it because it will break. But it does give you an opportunity to see the level of detail that they sculpt these in. You're familiar with the figures you know the level of detail. The greens come in from the sculptors and we take these. They're called mompaches. These are doing something. Oh. And they're extremely heavy. Do not drive these on your toes. This is the light one. So we take these mompaches. We'll lay down layers of rubber and take the green, put that inside it. Now we may have to build up additional pockets of rubber to help support like that axis on the different plain little body on that particular green. So we lay it down like this. We don't have to build up a rubber underneath the ax. And then we put more rubber on top of it. Plop the lid on it, seal the shut. I would say I don't want to do that right now. And then we put it inside the vulcanizer here. We squeeze them 1200 pounds of pressure 350 degrees for a bit per hour. For the first 30 minutes the rubber will get really soft liquid to a flow into all the ones that are in the practice. The rubber is the brine that is on the bottom. Thank you. That was Matt Clark. He's been my boss for seven years now. He probably wasn't anyway. Where was I? The rubber gets really liquid. Flows into all the little cracks and crevices, picks up the detail. As fine detail as they are able to sculpt into it, the rubber is able to get into that crevice. If the sculptor is not careful and is pressing the green stuff with their hands and leaves a thumbprint. Or a partial thumbprint in the green. That thumbprint will be replicated on our figure. I mean, it will pick up that level. During the process of this melting, the rubber will begin to vulcanize. It will harden. It will become as solid and firm as hard tire rubber. This is an example. I believe these are some of the soapy wings for this year's Reaper con bike or soapy. It's like a tire tire rubber at this point. Really hard, really firm. I can bend it, twist it. Not a lot of damage I can do with my bare hands. If I had a knife or a tire iron or something such, I could probably destroy it. We cut in the funnel shape here for the metal to be poured in in the casting room, which will be the next room you see. Then we cut out all these little channels and air vents for the metal to glow, for the air to come out of the pocket, and things like that. Given mold, we try to have 12 copies of everything on it, so that each time we produce it, we're not just producing one, we're making about a dozen or so. It looks a lot more efficient. Do I do another newspaper? The newspaper keeps the mold from creating a vacuum. Inside casting, we're going to put it inside a spincaster. You guys won't be able to get super close, because I'm working with 700 degree metal back there, and I don't want any of you to have to be taken to the hospital. You're welcome. But we put it in the spincaster, and we put a metal steel plate on top of it, and there's a hydraulic press, and then it squeezes the two halves together to prevent the metal from flowing out where it's not supposed to. We didn't have the paper at my creative vacuum, and then we wouldn't be able to let that steel plate back off. So we put that on there. These channels on the bottom do the same function as the newspaper on the top. All right. So this is our casting department. We use talc as a release agent. Rubber is really good at stopping things from moving. I don't know the physics term for it. It has a lot of friction, drag, something like that, anyway. You put it on the bottom of your shoe, is to keep you from continuing to slip as you walk. So when the metal hits the rubber, it actually wants to stop. The metal wants to stop, and then what's liquid will continue to try and move. But sometimes that causes some really weird shapes to form in the metal. So we use talc as a release agent, it basically acts like marbles on a tile floor. So the metal hits the towel and skids across, allowing it to get all the way into all the little most crannies. So I broke this bolt down here in the middle, and I'm going to line it up as pretty bad. We're in about 22 pounds of pressure. We've got about 45 rpm for it now. When I walk this in, the hydraulics are going to come up this reason to have together. And now it's going to begin spinning. My metal, our cuter mix, and our primary dark heaven warlord from school, all that, not our p65 metal. Right now, it looks to be, where we had talc on everything back here. It's about 725 degrees right now. It looks just a little warm, but that's okay. Had that temperature, but now the cold is like rubber. It's more similar to clothes like rubber. It's like water. It's more like water. Slashes like water if you're not careful. Sights like water? But it's a lot easier to clean up that water. I'll just pour that right in there. We'll give it about 10 to 15 seconds. And that'll be enough time for that to cool off. I'll be able to pick that out. We go ahead and power those. And clap these together. And knock off all of the excess power. The talc will turn. A small layer of talc won't, but if there's a large plump of talc, they've got to spit somewhere on that metal burn. You'll get a brown spot. May or may not texture the mold, but it's just not pretty in the package. Set this on this rack to cool. Right now, the metal is still a little over 450 degrees. You can tell because I can still manipulate it with my fingers. So this is going to be very hot. I'm going to put this on the top of the table. I'm going to put this on the top of the table. It's going to be very hot when it comes that way. Please be careful. Remove the excess there so that it doesn't splash. There's a normal-based production. I have three casters going on our lines. We work 10 hour work days. We get right as 10 hour work days. Our casters produce 15 pounds of metal per hour. The average figure is 16 pieces to about, no, two pounds. Sorry, one ounce per figure is the average. So if something approaching 2500 pieces per hour with three lines going on a 10 hour day, so the 7,500 pieces, 75,000 spent for it per day. Yeah, 75,000 millimeters per day to produce. Thank you.
