My name is Mitch. A 1995 explosion accident left me with a mangled right hand and video making super powers. My molding experience dates back to the days of latex and coldfoam. I started making molds in 1988 to cast fake latex body parts. I became fascinated with all things lifecasting and mold-making. This addiction has gone unchecked for 20 years and resulted in my supply shop and this channel.
