Just found your channel. Thank you for sharing 💜. I’m trying to create something like Mold Star 15 to pour resins onto and into. Flexibility like memory foam but able to get fine details.
Just now looking thru your playlists so you may have something. Mostly popping in to say hello & thank you for putting content into the world that’s teaching us how to create with sustainable resources. 👌😁👏👏👏
Thank you for your kind words, and for taking time to comment. I made a video you may find helpful. Check here, I made DIY memory foam with silicone. Hope it helps!

finally an english speaking person,
every other video ive watched is some indian woman with a thick accent i cant understand
I completely understand. I love how they all are in customer service. And I hope you found value in the video. Thanks for watching.
Brilliant, thank you so much for this. Can’t wait to follow your progress.
Yes, I am close, but I thought what turned out in this would be something you and other artists would like to have in your pallette. We have you to thank for posing the question, and I will make sure I mention you in the closing video, once I have succeeded in reproducing what you asked for.
Ty so much for sharing your experiments with us!
It is my pleasure. I have had some reports this doesn't dry properly. Good luck as it takes a few tries to get it just right. Cook it to just the second before it burns.
Ciao sei così gentile di tradurre cio che dici grazie mille per la tua gentilezza e disponibilità
I am glad it is helpful. Thank you.
Love your channel and your videos
With my respect from iraq 🇮🇶
It is my pleasure. I am glad you found value in my content. Greetings from America.
Just ran across your channel and yes i subscribed. Found you very informative and am looking forward to seeing what you come up with next. My grands love to use modeling clay but get upset when it breaks so looking for something they can make and then create on their own. TFS. Have a fabulous weekend!
So glad to hear, thank you. And you as well, have a great weekend. I have some new ideas for art media and will share them this fall. Right now, I am in the garden, join me there. And share, folks rave about this stuff once they try it.
Something you are missing. Workability of the clay. It needs to be firm enough to mold into shaps that hold. Smoth enough that in a palm swipe test, a flower pettal is perfectlt smooth, with very thin edges, and no tears. Etc. It's very complicated.. lol
Thanks for the tips!
Very happy to see you pop up when I was looking for a flexible clay formula. Do you have any thoughts on making a more flexible result? Seems to me this could be an awesome chap replacement for two part silicone in certain types of mold making if you could achieve greater flexibility and low shrinkage. Maybe for items where 1% shrinkage is ok?
Give it a try. About half of comments ask if I can do something other than what I have discovered. I could spend months coming up with something, and get paid $.0001 per view, and then get another question asking if I can do something else. My advice is to give it a try, and if it doesn't work, keep trying.
@@GEOsustainable Thanks once again. You are the best. And it looks like you did an updated video on this, where the result looks a bit more flexible, perfect. In case anyone else is looking for this: ruclips.net/video/vWl6ilMZ2oA/видео.html
Every example of cold porcelain diy video I found involved heating the ingredients after mixing, then kneading it. Could it be that there is a chemical change with the heat, that isn't produced by your mixing (kneading) it into the previously created clay? I was just wondering. Also, you said the previous created clay is hard (which I want). Is it also brittle? Is it a hard plastic like material?
The clay I made is rock hard, very strong, not brittle, with zero shrinkage. I think you are really going to love working with it, and...knead it. ENJOY !!! I am still on the path to making an acceptable cold porcelain, stay tuned for that. Perhaps 2 weeks out still. And, please, don't cook the PVA glue to smoking, it releases toxic chemicals, and the reason I am reformulating it.
@@GEOsustainable Thank you for your quick response.
Do you think stearic acid might help with flexibility instead, or would it alter the pH too much?
great question. the pH level is not a concern. I simply had not thought about it. I will try it and make a video it it works well. I have continued working on this, as I mentioned, and I used vinegar as the catalyst with more sucess, so stearic acid will be a good addition. I am waiting for the next experiment to completely dry at this point.
Amazing video thank you. Please may i use amazon glue i found on Amazon
Thank you. Do you mean PVC glue?
@@GEOsustainable yes but the glue name is Amazon i saw it on Amazon
I just came across your channel. And I was wondering what ingredients did you used to make the dough?.
cornstarch, baking soda, vinegar, thymol, and glycerine. pretty sure I go over this in the video.
Hello there! I just found your channel and first of all I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge. I just want it to ask about if you have in your Chanel the Cold Porcelain recipe? I am interested in getting the porcelain that dries hard, even though there’s shrinkage. I have try so many recipes that I can’t get the same or at least close consistency of the commercial brands. Mine comes out too soft and I need something firm to be able to model dolls faces. I am sorry if this message is way too long, but you seem to have lots of knowledge on chemistry . Thank you so much again and I hope you could guide me a bit with your knowledge. Have a great day
Thank you for your comment. I am not a chemist, even though I was paid to be one. I am good at research and my brother calls me an Alchemist by Trade.
I have not done a video on Cold Porcelain as I saw so many good ones on the product. This was an attempt to make an alternative. Since then, I have concluded, not everything needs to be 'green' as God gave us oil. We just have to stop putting it in cars and make plastic with something else.
Plastic and fuel are two areas I do work on.
If it is too thin, you should cut back on the PVA glue. When researching for an alternative, I saw one very important feature were it make 'sharp peaks', so there are a few that discuss that.
I am so sorry, I have so much going, I don't have time to work on this. But, I do see a lot of my audience are artists, like I once was, so I will make a point to get back to you all this spring and summer.
After wracking my brain, Cold Porcelain or Clay are my only ideas for making a dolls face. Both will shrink a good bit.
Keep an eye, I sometimes have ideas years after you ask the question.
P.S. This formula has been reported to crack after a few months.
@@GEOsustainable thank you so much for your response and patience. Have an amazing day and greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
@@GEOsustainable hello there, I am sorry to bother you again but do you know a good hardener that won’t dry out the cold porcelain? I am using Stearic Acid in small quantities. A teaspoon for a small batch. So sorry to ask once more about this topic, have a great day and blessings ☺️
hey hey! this is great, I was noodling on this today. as you say, all the videos talking about corn starch, the only reason I could think of that corn starch is used as a filler is because of the consistency in the end product. I haven't completely looked at your videos, but I am also looking for a translucent air dry recipe, the trouble being a filler that allows for the most light pass through without cracking. I ordered some 'polymer' translucent air dry clay from Japan. The rumor is, it is called polymer because it has plastic in it but it does not need to be cured in the oven, instead it has a resin that is used as the binder, but what do they mean by 'resin'? that is air dry, safe to handle. Lost in translation perhaps? Maybe rice flower would be a good replacement for corn starch, rice noodles tend to have a 'translucent' look to them...
Anyway I will take a look at your other videos, maybe you already have a recipe :)
Cornstarch is not used as filler in silicone, although it could. Cornstarch is used to speed the cure of silicone. I do have a few videos on silicone that I am sure you can find good info. I have a couple making clear packaging film with milk.
The polymer you talk about sounds interesting.
Thanks for watching, and thanks for asking a really great question.
Did you give up on this project? I would be interested to see more, thank you.
I don't remember planning on going further with this. Some folks have reported shrinkage beyond what I experienced, just so you know.
I still don’t find a formula to make good cold porcelain,I need it to make flowers 😢
Is it at all possible to create a air dry clay formula that when going through the curing/drying process is as durable as polymer clay and doesn’t shrink but especially doesn’t CRACK also like polymer- but no need to bake like polymer, but air dry?! That would be the PERFECT clay if even possible to make as this is the exact issues so many of us crafters experience and are constantly drawn to the convenience and cost of air dry but will use polymer on projects we want to last without worry if gets banged around and lots of use!
Anything is possible on a snow day. Use this formula, but do not add the Glycerine.
4:28 - thymol
Yes, oil of thyme. An extract found in Listerine.
😂😂😂😂 awesome joke
Oh hush Sal! Don’t encourage him!
hehe
