    I somehow got here trying to figure out how to clean plastic measuring cups. 😂 Thanks for the tip about silicone and rubbing alcohol, I had no idea. I don't make the candles, but I have to say you have a very entertaining personality and I love your vibe!

    Will this work for the silicone bowls? Mine is full of dried concrete even after cracking it and bending it

    • @upvibecandle

      If you have concrete stuck on your silicone bowls you will need to spend time removing it. Try not to let it dry as it becomes harder to clean.

    I’ve watched this tutorial a number of times & always learn something new every time 😊
    I am experiencing an issue where the items I cast (I just Jesmonite & Jesmonite alternative acrylic resins - similar stuff to plaster of Paris) when I go to either seal or wax polish them, they appear to have smear marks on them & not matter how well I wash my moulds I’m thinking that they have been contaminated with something (maybe something I’ve used in past to wipe clean) so these marks will always appear…is there anything you can do to condition a mould or any other solution that can be used other than what you went over in your video, that may assist? It’s as though there’s some kind of film on those areas so the sealer or wax polish is repelled from those areas (if that makes sense) Shame I can’t send a pic so you can exactly what I’m talking about.

    Hello, how are you? Congratulations here from Brazil. Taking care of the mold as you guide lines in 20 years, of course metaphorically. In practice, how many cups can you make with the same mold? Congratulations on the channel...

    • @upvibecandle
      @upvibecandle  2 года назад +1

      Thank you. It all depends on what silicone mold you have but if you take care of it you can have it demold for a very long time. One silicone mold company told me about 500 plus. Hope that helps...

    Hey Jai, I've recently done a pour in one of my molds and when demolding it after 24 hours, the item was really tough to demold and left me a cement stain in my mold. My question is, has this ever happened to you and will the trick with alcohol work? If not, do you have any other solution to remove the stain as it looks like if I used it for my next project, the stain will reproduce on the next pour and make the project come out bad. Thanks in advance for any help!

    • @upvibecandle
      @upvibecandle  Год назад

      I would soak the mold in warm soapy water for 30 minutes and scrub gently with a soft brush or sponge. If the stain persists, try using a vinegar solution by rubbing the stained areas with a cloth or sponge soaked in equal parts white vinegar and water. Alternatively, create a paste with baking soda and water, apply it to the stains, let it sit for 15 minutes, and scrub gently. If stain remains then try rubbing alcohol but don't saturate it as alcohol can damage it.

      Hey @@Daall-kw7hm, unfortunately I tried various methods but was not able to remove the stains from the cement. Not sure if the quality of the silicone is very poor and not able to withstand the corrosive nature of the curing cement. I recently moved and have not unpacked the mold yet and continued to work on finding a solution. If you come by any solution, let me know.

    What can you do if you dulled your silicone molds? Is there a way to restore them?

    • @upvibecandle
      @upvibecandle  Год назад

      Depending on what kind of silicone mold you have you might be able to add more silicone to that mold which will rejuvenate it. Flat molds work best for that technique. A concrete candle jar silicone mold you can't do that with.
