The Reveal: Homemade Silicone PokeBall Molds

hey guys we are back and I’m super

hey guys we are back and I’m super excited because today is the day we get

excited because today is the day we get

excited because today is the day we get to rip open these silicone molds and see

to rip open these silicone molds and see

to rip open these silicone molds and see how our pokeballs turned out these have

how our pokeballs turned out these have

how our pokeballs turned out these have been sitting out for about a day and a

been sitting out for about a day and a

been sitting out for about a day and a half now and they still look really

half now and they still look really

half now and they still look really shiny it almost looks like you could

shiny it almost looks like you could

shiny it almost looks like you could touch it and get sticky fingers even see

touch it and get sticky fingers even see

touch it and get sticky fingers even see bubbles forming on the top here however

bubbles forming on the top here however

bubbles forming on the top here however this silicone has fully cured and should

this silicone has fully cured and should

this silicone has fully cured and should be completely rubber check this out so

be completely rubber check this out so

be completely rubber check this out so this is our leftover silicone and you

this is our leftover silicone and you

this is our leftover silicone and you can see it just peels right out of the

can see it just peels right out of the

can see it just peels right out of the bowl and leaves the bowl almost as clean

bowl and leaves the bowl almost as clean

bowl and leaves the bowl almost as clean as when we started it’s almost like a

as when we started it’s almost like a

as when we started it’s almost like a rubbery skin super stretchy look at that

rubbery skin super stretchy look at that

rubbery skin super stretchy look at that well as cool as this is this is garbage

well as cool as this is this is garbage

well as cool as this is this is garbage and we can throw that away the time has

and we can throw that away the time has

and we can throw that away the time has come to extract our pokeballs and I

come to extract our pokeballs and I

come to extract our pokeballs and I don’t think we’re going to be able to

don’t think we’re going to be able to

don’t think we’re going to be able to get these silicone chunks straight up

get these silicone chunks straight up

get these silicone chunks straight up and out it created a vacuum seal and

and out it created a vacuum seal and

and out it created a vacuum seal and that’s going to be nearly impossible now

that’s going to be nearly impossible now

that’s going to be nearly impossible now to clean up these edges we can just take

to clean up these edges we can just take

to clean up these edges we can just take an exacto knife and just kind of carve

an exacto knife and just kind of carve

an exacto knife and just kind of carve around to clean everything up a little

around to clean everything up a little

around to clean everything up a little bit now obviously we’re not going to be

bit now obviously we’re not going to be

bit now obviously we’re not going to be able to pull this thing over the bottom

able to pull this thing over the bottom

able to pull this thing over the bottom so we’re just going to take this and

so we’re just going to take this and

so we’re just going to take this and pull them off the base plate there we go

pull them off the base plate there we go

pull them off the base plate there we go the hot glue served its purpose so we

the hot glue served its purpose so we

the hot glue served its purpose so we can peel that away oh man the friction

can peel that away oh man the friction

can peel that away oh man the friction that’s really tough you know might be

that’s really tough you know might be

that’s really tough you know might be best if I just cut this thing with a

best if I just cut this thing with a

best if I just cut this thing with a hacksaw

[Music]

[Music] there we go with your acrylic cut we can

there we go with your acrylic cut we can

there we go with your acrylic cut we can just split it open set it off to the

just split it open set it off to the

just split it open set it off to the side and there is our rubber plug so

side and there is our rubber plug so

side and there is our rubber plug so there we go you can see we’ve got a

there we go you can see we’ve got a

there we go you can see we’ve got a solid chunk of silicone now the acrylic

solid chunk of silicone now the acrylic

solid chunk of silicone now the acrylic is fully removed and on the bottom all

is fully removed and on the bottom all

is fully removed and on the bottom all we have is this layer of hot glue and

we have is this layer of hot glue and

we have is this layer of hot glue and then our pokeball inside so let’s use

then our pokeball inside so let’s use

then our pokeball inside so let’s use something like an exacto knife to slowly

something like an exacto knife to slowly

something like an exacto knife to slowly carve away the silicone to see if we can

carve away the silicone to see if we can

carve away the silicone to see if we can extract the pokeball and salvage

extract the pokeball and salvage

extract the pokeball and salvage ourselves a silicone mold and we got to

ourselves a silicone mold and we got to

ourselves a silicone mold and we got to make sure we don’t scratch up the actual

make sure we don’t scratch up the actual

make sure we don’t scratch up the actual pokeball itself because it doesn’t

pokeball itself because it doesn’t

pokeball itself because it doesn’t belong to me

there we go that makes me wonder oh yeah

there we go that makes me wonder oh yeah so looking inside here it looks like we

so looking inside here it looks like we

so looking inside here it looks like we did get some little air bubbles along

did get some little air bubbles along

did get some little air bubbles along the ridges which is a little bit too bad

the ridges which is a little bit too bad

the ridges which is a little bit too bad but it’s definitely something we can

but it’s definitely something we can

but it’s definitely something we can work with all right down to the last

work with all right down to the last

work with all right down to the last piece here yeah all right one side has

piece here yeah all right one side has

piece here yeah all right one side has released we can get the rest of the ball

released we can get the rest of the ball

released we can get the rest of the ball out just by simply peeling the silicone

out just by simply peeling the silicone

out just by simply peeling the silicone away and gently prying the ball back we

away and gently prying the ball back we

away and gently prying the ball back we had a little silicone that went

had a little silicone that went

had a little silicone that went underneath that hot glue and there it’s

underneath that hot glue and there it’s

underneath that hot glue and there it’s released in almost as good a condition

released in almost as good a condition

released in almost as good a condition as that went in there’s a chance that

as that went in there’s a chance that

as that went in there’s a chance that even with these imperfections we still

even with these imperfections we still

even with these imperfections we still be able to cast it it will come out

be able to cast it it will come out

be able to cast it it will come out fairly clean so I’m just going to stop

fairly clean so I’m just going to stop

fairly clean so I’m just going to stop there we’re going to call it good and

there we’re going to call it good and

there we’re going to call it good and theoretically we should be able to put

theoretically we should be able to put

theoretically we should be able to put this thing back together and now we’ve

this thing back together and now we’ve

this thing back together and now we’ve got a little hole where we can pour in

got a little hole where we can pour in

got a little hole where we can pour in anything that we want and cast ourselves

anything that we want and cast ourselves

anything that we want and cast ourselves our own little pokeball I like having

our own little pokeball I like having

our own little pokeball I like having the rocks in there because it adds

the rocks in there because it adds

the rocks in there because it adds weight and I can probably just set this

weight and I can probably just set this

weight and I can probably just set this on my bookshelf and leave it kind of as

on my bookshelf and leave it kind of as

on my bookshelf and leave it kind of as a centerpiece that’s really cool now

a centerpiece that’s really cool now

a centerpiece that’s really cool now we’ve got these two halves and we press

we’ve got these two halves and we press

we’ve got these two halves and we press together it creates a little opening in

together it creates a little opening in

together it creates a little opening in the top where we can pour in anything

the top where we can pour in anything

the top where we can pour in anything that we want and make ourselves our own

that we want and make ourselves our own

that we want and make ourselves our own little pokeball

so this is pretty much going to be the

so this is pretty much going to be the same deal as the last one but I got to

same deal as the last one but I got to

same deal as the last one but I got to be a little more delicate

[Music]

[Music] there we go I can feel that letting go

there we go I can feel that letting go

there we go I can feel that letting go now and boom there’s our ball salvaged

now and boom there’s our ball salvaged

now and boom there’s our ball salvaged now this is kind of cool look down

now this is kind of cool look down

now this is kind of cool look down inside here and inside the mold you can

inside here and inside the mold you can

inside here and inside the mold you can actually see all the battle wounds the

actually see all the battle wounds the

actually see all the battle wounds the battle brews pokeball wounds which is

battle brews pokeball wounds which is

battle brews pokeball wounds which is going to translate into our castings

going to translate into our castings

going to translate into our castings when we make them stuff that look kind

when we make them stuff that look kind

when we make them stuff that look kind of cool there we have it

of cool there we have it

of cool there we have it mold number two good to go you see the

mold number two good to go you see the

mold number two good to go you see the thing causing us problem was the

thing causing us problem was the

thing causing us problem was the silicones hanging up in these little

silicones hanging up in these little

silicones hanging up in these little gaps here

gaps here

gaps here those aren’t completely airtight

those aren’t completely airtight

those aren’t completely airtight unfortunately it still work it still

unfortunately it still work it still

unfortunately it still work it still works

works

works look at the way the silicone actually

look at the way the silicone actually

look at the way the silicone actually seeped inside the pokeball and collected

seeped inside the pokeball and collected

seeped inside the pokeball and collected all these rocks silicone has this

all these rocks silicone has this

all these rocks silicone has this amazing way of creeping into every place

amazing way of creeping into every place

amazing way of creeping into every place that is not completely airtight the nice

that is not completely airtight the nice

that is not completely airtight the nice thing is though it cleans up very easily

thing is though it cleans up very easily

thing is though it cleans up very easily doesn’t make that big of a mess the

doesn’t make that big of a mess the

doesn’t make that big of a mess the electrical cords actually got sucked

electrical cords actually got sucked

electrical cords actually got sucked right into the silicone and now they are

right into the silicone and now they are

right into the silicone and now they are rubberized or free but most everything

rubberized or free but most everything

rubberized or free but most everything out here now so this is pretty cool guys

out here now so this is pretty cool guys

out here now so this is pretty cool guys now that we got ourselves a Pokeball

now that we got ourselves a Pokeball

now that we got ourselves a Pokeball mold what do you want to see me do with

mold what do you want to see me do with

mold what do you want to see me do with it I had one idea I thought might be fun

it I had one idea I thought might be fun

it I had one idea I thought might be fun so I went down to the store and picked

so I went down to the store and picked

so I went down to the store and picked up a couple of colored candles so all

up a couple of colored candles so all

up a couple of colored candles so all that’s left to do now is take this wax

that’s left to do now is take this wax

that’s left to do now is take this wax and throw it in a pot so we can melt it

and throw it in a pot so we can melt it

and throw it in a pot so we can melt it down pour it into these molds and then

down pour it into these molds and then

down pour it into these molds and then let it sit overnight so tomorrow we can

let it sit overnight so tomorrow we can

let it sit overnight so tomorrow we can open these things up and see what kind

open these things up and see what kind

open these things up and see what kind of results they actually produce and if

of results they actually produce and if

of results they actually produce and if it actually works out I’ve got an idea

it actually works out I’ve got an idea

it actually works out I’ve got an idea for a future project that might be a lot

for a future project that might be a lot

for a future project that might be a lot of fun so there you have it guys we

of fun so there you have it guys we

of fun so there you have it guys we successfully extracted our pokeballs

successfully extracted our pokeballs

successfully extracted our pokeballs from the silicone and now we’ve got a

from the silicone and now we’ve got a

from the silicone and now we’ve got a couple of molds filled with wax and

couple of molds filled with wax and
