Toy Making

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

I am currently studying and researching on how to make toys. Specifically designer toys made of liquid plastic called R10-103 and RTV liquid rubber. I have tried looking for suppliers of these chemicals since these are hard to find and you can not buy it just anywhere. The instructions are simple but i should say it takes a lot of research and patience. Yup, I just threw away 680 pesos for my first set, unfortunately my mold is short since I made a big figure for the amount of RTV I bought.

I am just amazed how KidRobot brought life to his’ vinyl figures. I have plans of doing this myself, but not for now maybe. I am giving myself  three more weeks to study.

If you want to study with me here are the tools:

RTV : one set (it includes a hardener)

R10-103: a set( also include a hardener)

Clay: preferably hard clay

Sculpting tools

Dropper

Measuring cup

I will post my recent work as soon as I finished it. Goodluck to both of us…
