Timber Ridge Gifts Greetings, Can you use resin with this mold?
Anonymous Us
Hi Timber Ridge Gifts! Can I substitute the cornstarch for flour or does it have to be cornstarch? Awesome video, really helpful!
Watch closely how a pastry chef rolls out his dough and you will get a better result. Always turn your “dough” and keep it straight.
Good to read in someone’s comment that this mold can be used for epoxy as well! Much cheaper and versatile indeed! Thank you for sharing...
Wow! Great tutorial! I can now make a mold for my miniature bricks, or roofing! Love it! Thank you for this great video, and for your service to defend and protect. Blessings.
I'm glad I found this video! I've been getting into making jewellery/charms with resin and it's been hard to find molds I like or for a reasonable price. Thanks for making this!
Rad man, thank you! Gonna try this ASAP for my jewelry. You’re so lucky to have those beautiful bird calls right outdoors.
This. Is. AWESOME. I've been planning on using silicone caulk to make molds, and the cornstarch seems like a genius addition. This is going to save me so much money. Way to go!
You and others are commenting on this video like there are no other dozens of do-it-yourselfers videos that show this exact same thing! In fact, this happens to be oversimplified. Many mistakes can be made and then you’ll be wondering why your mold didn’t harden.
This works amazingly well. I have just made my first skull mold using this.
Thanks for watching!
Tim! Your instructions are perfect! I went out and immediately bought supplies for a mold. And, by the way, I thought the Froot Loops was a brilliant choice. Porous and fragile, yet they popped right out. I'm seriously considering making a "fish bowl" with those cheesy goldfish crackers. I'd so them in orange-tinted matte porcelaine, pave a globe with them, and have an art piece. And the sound (at leat on my laptop) was crystal clear.
Thank you for serving our great country! Love your videos!
Now that you made the mold what are you going to do with it? How about a part 2,
Thanks for giving the safety tips - not enough DIY channelers do that when they use questionable materials and methods. I worked in a museum where as conservators we often make reproductions to be used in hands-on displays, or travelling exhibits. This included painstaking methods of mold-making, so you should of seen my face when you were pouring your materials into the plastic tub, lol! I was like wha--! I love seeing the resourcefulness of DIYers!
BeingBeverly - "safety tips" - the dust mask is zero safety re the fumes and using bare hands with the chemical//silcon misses the point as far as "safety tips" goes. But neato info re the mold.
That's rubbish, we have used silicon sealant for years in the window industry, it is not toxic nor is the fumes ,which dissipate very quickly.
Private Private Oh I am aware of that. In our labs we have floor to ceiling fume hoods as well as smaller ones we can reach up and pull down to our work stations. There are companies that come and custom fit our gas masks as well as comprehensive safety training. It's a beautiful thing! But you know we couldn't cover all safety education here. So I merely saying glad to see that in this video at least some awareness is being raised, and maybe DIYers will start with one thing and learn another and another. Sorry, long answer!!
GREAT info.! Thank You for sharing your time with us!
I wouldn't say it's toxic, but I use disposable safety gloves and popsicle sticks to mix because the silicone does irritate the skin (this goes for any rubber mold making, generally you don't want skin contact and avoid getting it all over your clothes). And the fume-y smell is acetic acid (vinegar but much more concentrated), so as long as you're doing it in a well-ventilated area I wouldn't worry about breathing problems. In fact, probably much more dangerous to DIY people are the fumes from spray paint and paint thinners. Dust mask would help from inhaling the airborne cornstarch or other fillers, but you're correct in that it doesn't do anything for the acetic acid fumes.
Wow, so cool! I want to make some concrete candle holders, and this would be perfect, and if I have to rip them apart, no biggie it's not a huge expense! Thanks for posting.
This is amazing!! Wow. Thank you. I’m going to try to make a brace for my dog based on a casting of his leg (to save me $900). Glad you informed that it’s toxic and not for use for food or soap making. Such a helpful video.
It works! I make small charms and necklace pendants with these type of molds now, much cheaper and easier than the other types, only issue with it is that you have to hurry it cures fast :D Thank you so much
en anden it does faster than I thought
does it work with resin
Great video. Like the subtitles and am thankful there is no background music. Very easy to understand you and wonderful instructions that are easy to follow. Thank you!
The possibilities for mold making with this method are endless and it so easy .Thanks so much for sharing.
Best tutorial EVER for silcone molds. Super informative, and perfectly in depth. I watched another video and there was math involved. As soon as I saw that I thought, well I guess I'll just keep buying them, and then I found you. Great job! Thank you so much for opening up the millions of possibilities for things I can do now! 😁👍
Eibmozluver Yeap ... I’m with you. Once I see numbers “ Nope .. I’m outta here “ 🤪🤣
Wow! Another endorsement by a genius! Not sure if I should laugh or cry
Great vid, my only comment from doing this quite a few times is that at the kneading stage, a touch of baby oil mixed in really does help give it a better consistency and helps in releasing items.
Great idea, will try that next thanks! About how much for this full batch did you use?
That is an AWSOME suggestion. About how much baby oil would you suggest for a batch this size?
could a vaseline (petrolium jelly) instead of baby oil do the same thing? what do you think?
Olive oil much better
Would silicone oil not work? (if you happen to have some on hand) Just wondering because it seems like the obvious choice of lubricant considering the ingredients.
Thanks for sharing can not wait to try it out!!!! Yeay!!!!
I'm so glad someone made a tutorial on this! I figured out how making molds this way back in 2002, while I was living in a tent! I was casting figure sculptures to sell at festivals, and needed a cheap, quick (somewhat) rubber mold. I m
ade molds for up to 12 inch tall statues for just a few bucks. And, those molds are still around.
Nomad Studio Productions what type of figures where they?
For everyone else on the world outside the US: 16 OZ corn starch = 450g. 10.1 fl OZ silicone = 300ml.
Thx a lot.
so, if you were making a smaller batch, it would be a 3 to 2 ratio? is that correct?
jacko lantern yeah wondering the portions for smaller quantity
yeah, clementine, i think i got that wrong, i was confusing fl. oz. with milliliters....OOOOOOOOO my!
For everyone else on (sic) the world???.... there's Google. If you can navigate to watch a RUclips video, surely you can use a Google search page. Geez people...
Thanks for the video Tim. I never ended up trying it but, I did end up ordering a pizza from Papa John's after watching this.
Well heck never thought of using popsicle sticks to mix it. Now I am going to have to go do this. As long as I put my phone up to my ear I could hear you. Thank you for your video
We truly appreciate your video, you have no idea how helpful it will be to us. After my move to the Philippines 6 years ago, I soon learned how many things are "not available" or "out of stock" but they really mean we never had that item. You often have to DIY or do without. Thank you big time for this video.
Thanks for watching!
Good job Tim, I've been wanting to try this, this video showed me that I need to do it.
Rich B I
I looked into rubber and latex and kept going and BAM silicone & corn starch who would've thought lol I have those exact 2 at home. Expense value for me $0. Considering who knows who paid for them since they been in my house for over a year just sitting there now I have an awesome use for them.
Tim, you magnificent camo aproned genius!!! Thanks!
FANTASTIC!!. Ever thought of becoming a pastry chef?? 😋😋😋
Great video, the easiest and simplest I've seen for making embeds. You made it simple and to the point, and didn't make it seem like a overwhelming project. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for showing us your ingenuous method to construct your own accessories very frugally. Love it!
I found the audio ok. I had no trouble hearing or understanding. Good video and good information. Thank you.
The audio is low on this video.... you turn it up to hear it, then an Ad comes on and blasts your ears... No biggie, really... Just a DYI video-- This is a situation where a lav mic and voice recorder would of helped (sync'd in post), but many dyi guys don't have access or the tech to do that. It's just part of it. He has good info here, on how to do molds on the cheap.
Wow! excellent demo, thank you so much!
Thank you so much for the warning on doing the project indoors! I was right in the process of doing it in my kitchen when I watched your video and you saved me thank you so much . Best video done this way so far.
So great!! Thanks! I've been trying various things to make doll moulds from cheaply. Stumbled across your vid and so thrilled. This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for!
Tim!! You are awesome!!! Thank you for the info. BEST VIDEO for DIY silicone mold PERIOD!!!!
Angela Stein // I agree...thsnks Tim
Great tutorial and mold hack! I’m going to try this mold for polymer clay figures and beads. Thank you my dude!
Thanks for watching!
Home, that's exactly what I am going to use this for: polymer clay texture mats. Have fun and let us know how it turns out!
Great video, I was in a pinch when I discovered my old silicone mold mix went bad. This works great! Tip for viewers - if you get sticky fingers from the caulk, vinegar cleans it off.
Thanks for watching!
Very great video! Thank you so much! I just got into making candles myself and want to make molds for candles, I thought it was going to be complicated and expensive but you proved me wrong! Also I have no idea why no one else could hear you but I was using my cheap 70$ phone at half volume and I could hear you perfectly!!! Again thank you so much for this video!!
Thank you! I am going to try this.
What is everyone even talking about I can hear him LOUD & CLEAR! Great video.
Very loud and clear. Great video. Thank you
Super quiet on my device.
@@Eric2300jeep try headphones. Coming out loud and clear on mine but im on headphones at loudest setting
@@GigiPicasso My headphones are MIA ATM haha
The audio cuts too loud to too quiet. He made a new video though.
Thank you so much. I have watched so many videos, and you are the only one who has measurements. Thank you
Great inexpensive way to make molds!! Just turned my 12 yr old grandson onto Epoxy and he will love making his own molds!! Thank you!!
I sincerely suggest if you have not, to read the MSDS's and take extensive precautions when using any type of Epoxy. What stuns me now is that a simple google search shows it to be "non toxic". (one must realize google is paid to place certain articles "at the top" of their search results.) I have a background in both sciences and chemistry of arts materials. While "less" toxic then many products from decades earlier the chemicals use are still toxic - especially with repeated exposures.
OSHA: oshwiki.eu/wiki/Occupational_exposure_to_epoxy_resins
OSHA masks (with appropriate filters) industrial fans to exhaust any and all fumes. There are many artists that have died using these products. I lived in NYC and one could not go into a plastics place (famous then now closed) without smelling the fumes (they would cast products to sell). The owner later died. A friend did "metal casting" - epoxy and metal powder for her figurative (female) large sculptures. A friend who bought one, later complained of skin reactions.
You can get a no odor type now...but I would still do it outside can you reuse the rest of the dough if you store it in an airtight container?
Sandra Walker it dries pretty quickly, so you’d have to use it pretty much as soon as you make it
Silicone caulk starts curing in the presence of air. I think the corn starch kicks it off, too. So no, you can't store it.
It has been my experience when closing up a tube of silicone caulk that if you leave even a small bubble of air in the end, it will begin curing from there. The speed depends on the size of the bubble. So airtight is no help, it would need to be free of air. However, you've already exposed it all to air in the mixing process.
So even if the corn starch isn't catalyzing the cure, you would not be able to store unused mix.
Steve Greenfield
Evaporation of the acetate causes curing.
what silicone would be safest for a mouthpiece?
Sandra Walker Good question! Is leftover usable?
Sir! This is genius and so well explained.. thank you!
Would this type of mixture work for making a mold of something that’s metal? My mother has a large fleur de lys (French symbol) made of metal that I’d love to make a mold of to then pour plaster into to make a cast. Would the metal and plaster come out as undamaged as the fruit loops..? 🙂
It would work great for that project.
Thank you for asking that question doing the same ❤️
Tin because of you i make my own embeds and dang I'm getting kinda good at because of you. When pale ask me questions about candle making i always have to tell them yes our no because Tim said so lol. Thank you Tim truly.. Keep dishing turn out...
Thanks for watching!
your welcome I went out and bought the silicone this morning I will have a try at making some moulds. Merry Christmas from Australia
Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for this video, Tim. Clear & concise and easier than making bread dough and a whole lot less expensive. Love it. Your method using the fruit loops gave me an idea because when you started removing them, I noticed how much it looked like a honeycomb pattern - that's exactly what I'm looking for as I've just begun making beeswax candles and found the molds online were not cheap, $29. for one that makes a 6" candle - not what I would call a 'good price'! So, thanks again, for taking the time to show the rest of us just exactly how to make our own for a whole lot less money! One question, though stupid as it may sound, how do I get the mold to form into a tubular shape for pouring the wax into.... one commercial mold I tried left me with a real mess when I poured the wax into it and it all began immediately running out the side slit.
This method is better suited for flat lay molds and embeds. I'll soon be posting a video on how to make 3-D pillar molds.
Awesome tutorial Tim! REAL MEN GET CRAFTY!!
Camo Crafty!
Yeah, I gotta say, the mold isn’t the only thing in this video that’s awesome...
Yep, he's totally a babe!
Wow. I just wanted to keep watching your hands kneading the dough. 🔥
Perfect! Love the simplicity. Keep doing what you doing friend.
Greetings from Greece ☀️
I ALSO heard every word you spoke - just thought I'd letcha know that! 😊
I am very grateful for you sharing your video and your know how I am going to give it a go. Thank-you.
Sounds like this guy knows a thing or two about propane and propane accessories.
hee hee....king of the caulk
ROFL
Dang it! I tell you what... lol
hahaha!!!
Baaaa!
Thanks for making the vid. I cannot wait to give this a go. Nice and clear instruction.
Thanks Tim, best mould making vid I have seem. Simple technique and good health instruction
Audio is poor. Have just added subtitles. Best I can do.
Timber Ridge Gifts this really helps and I got a question. Will silicone stick to plaster
I think once it completely dries, it wouldn't stick
Something stood out to me, it's a bit of a personal thing but I have to ask, do you clear your throat like that a lot? It feels like you've always got something in your throat and you cough and clear your throat? It's just that it sounds exactly like how I cleared my throat until I discovered I had a polyp that turned cancerous. Just looking out man you don't want to go through what I am. Get to your local ENT (ear, nose and throat doc) asap if your always clearing your throat and coughing. Anyways good video man, keep up the good work.
DinoMite Gaming that's so thoughtful of you! ❤ most would just complain. It could be bc of the smell and since he isn't wearing his mask it's affecting him more. But if it is often, def Dr.
Timber Ridge Gifts, thank you!
We can use it to make cake molds or it is toxi, and thank u for show us this project
Joselin Fernandez the silicone used for this project is toxic, so I would be leery of using it for food products.
+Joselin Fernandez
*100% Silicone is Food Safe.*
Call the manufacturer if you do not believe me.
:
He did say the "silicone used for this project".
As for using it to make cake molds, I'd worry about the corn starch and its reaction to the heat of baking. The cake itself will never rise above 100C due to the water content, but the cake mold must rise to a higher temperature.
Cheap enough to try it and see.
Wow! Looks much easier than water/dish soap mixture! TY for posting!👍
Absolutely amazing!!!! This is so useful, I have both of those in my house, i can do this for "free" thank you!!
Thank You, Great Video, Very Clear, and Precise So to be Quick to Remember👍🇺🇸
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for a wonderful clip. Much needed tut. That aside, I am a huge "grown ass" fan of fruit loops and it pains me seeing them go into a cornstarch mold instead of a mouth... LOL
Out-f-ing-standing! Thank you for saving me a bunch of money on over priced supplies from the craft shop.
Thanks for watching!
This is my favorite tutorial and I've been looking all day. Thank you so much! Definitely subscribing
Great methods! What happened to lapel mic - missing?! THANKS - Subscribed!
AerialLensVideo I
No
If you use a non-acetic cure silicon (like GE Silicon II) then you will not get the bad smell like vinegar. I use the non-acetic cure stuff for water proofing electronics because the acid stuff corrodes the circuits.
yes , but it also won't cure rapidly via the cornstarch. Silicon ii takes forever to set when mixed with cornstarch compared to this. The video describes it as "drying" but that is not what is really occurring here.
kirkb4989
Vinegar?
How polite.
It's more of a urine smell to me. Lol.
unionse7en
I tend to agree.
Curing rather than setting.
Slightly off-topic. Quick, see a doctor. If your pee smells of acetic acid (vinegar or silicon smell) there may be a problem. Basically, pee should smell like pee until it smells like ammonia.
could you make a teeth impression using this type of silicone or would that be too toxic for a minute or so to make a n impression of your teeth for making a diving custom mouthpiece.
This is fantastic! Exactly what I was looking for thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing! Excited to try this.
Tim, put a damp towel between the table and cutting board to help prevent your cutting board from moving. :-)
Stephanie Durham I think he was moving the whole table. He pulled it close and hooked his leg around the leg.
Stephanie Durham
Similar use in the catering trade to prevent mixing bowls and chopping boards from wandering off. Lol.
Stephanie shutup
He's not a cook
He's a MAN damnit !!
MrDeicide1 most Cooks/chefs are also men. Idiot.
Cool idea!
was the microphone under your bench?
A great idea for my craftings, thanks for sharing!
Nice video! Well spoken and easy to follow. Thanks for the safety warnings too! Mold on!
Guess my cheap phone beats everyone else cause I heard what you were saying.. Awesome tutorial can't wait to try it.
Rebecca Simpson
Same here and had to turn my volume down, in fact. Lol.
Rebecca Simpson me too, not issues my end
NO DOUBT.
me too...and his damn coughing I could hear well. But STFU about old people. Young people can be deaf too.
That appears to be a particle mask ONLY (blocks particles) and would have no effect on blocking fumes released by the vinegar anyway!
Enjoyed the video, thanks!
A paper dust mask is pretty useless. Look for a reusable "half mask respirator" ($14 the last time I looked, I use 3M) that has a soft rubber gasket that will actually seal to your face. Then choose the filters based on what you are doing. There are:
- P95 and P100 particle filters, to keep sawdust, dust, mold, mildew, latex spray paint mist, sandblasting dust, etc. out of your lungs
- Many types of chemical absorbing filters to stop ammonia, organic solvents, etc. (maybe closer to $40 for mask and filters)
Think carefully about whether $14 to $40 is worth spending to avoid making yourself sick. I'd pay that to avoid a cold, never mind finding out I needed new lungs.
I think ,that coughing and scratching sounds he is making is from so much bad chemical and particles he's around all the time.By the way he's dressed I say he's a carpenter. I hope he takes ur advice.
P. S. I did enjoy his tutorial tho! 😀
It's a great way to make a mold for just about any thing I made one over three months ago and it's still as good as new no shrinking cracking or loss of detail thanks for the video it's a great benefit.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you! I've been looking to make my own molds for my candles and this was incredibly helpful.
Thanks for watching!
Loved this video...new subscriber 07/30/18!
Maybe silly question but why do you need the cornstarch - isnt silicone by itself used for making molds etc.?
The corn starch is for release almost all molds need a release agent just silicon wow I don't know quite a messy challenge Although wet your object then cornstarch IT then use non stick surface(flexible cutting boards?) and silicon away. This mold is for one sided objects BTY for "dimensional" objects it takes a two sided mold genarally
Actually the most important two roles the starch play is firstly it introduces oxygen throughout the silicone, which lets it set quicker, and secondly, it gives the silicone body and increase the volume. And of course it helps as a release agent as mentioned.
TORDesign
To remove it's glutinous quality, plain and simple or the manufacturers would add it to the tube, thereby making the curing process swifter.
I watched a video where the guy was using silicon to cast model parts. He said it took a week for the silicon to set.
i really want to thank you for this video. i tried this recipe from another video and screwed it up, but after hearing this video you elaborated enough on the instructions that i was able to figure out where i went wrong. can't wait to try your recipe.
Thanx Tim, great video! Very clear! I'll keep it mind for my next moulding.
Thanks for watching!
If you ever make biscuits and gravy I bet they'd be good!
Of all the things to mold, you chose fruit loops. Thanks for sharing bro, I will need to do this with my 3d printed models.
go open a box of fruit loops from the store a nd reply if you find yourself surprised🤭. they migjt not look like wbat we thougjt they looked like... i know this makes zero sense but if you end hp buying some id be interested on younir anyone’s reacrions. cheers!
Make sure you sand and prime your 3d prints first. This stuff catches most every detail, including layer lines. Prepping the model before molding saves you a lot of post production on the parts that come out of the mold.
thanks for posting. that WAS easy and cheap and as a matter of fact, I don't even have to go to the store cause I have the ingredients right here at home already. I had been wanting to try this, but other videos' process looked messy. great job!
You got a new sub!! Awsome!
Its hard to here you at times you mite want to turn mic up
Gary H yeah I had that problem early on, I’ve since upgraded my recording equipment and bought a pretty nice external microphone. 👍🏼
or you could re-upload this waste of space with post-processing volume levelliing
or even just subtitle it
just turn your volume up..? :P
and blow the speakers on the next video? get fucked, what a stupid suggestion
What was this mold you made used for? Making home made Fruit Loops?
Wax embeds for decorating scented candles.
PiratePete66 HaHa! No.....☺️
Made me really laugh.
I couldn't help but to laugh because at first I was wondering what the mold was gonna be used for too, then he said candles...and now I'm thinking Froot Loops? Candles? Those are gonna be some tiny candles!!! LMAO
Hi TRG...Stumbled across your video, and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to make this mold. Thanks so much for sharing your ingenious invention for making a DIY mold...it give me some great ideas and I can't wait to try it out. Thanks so much for all you do for us and your country!! God bless you! : )
can you use this for precious metal clay?
There have been several comments in regards to possible toxicity issues of the silicone adhesive that is used here. As far as the toxicity issue of the silicone, "Food Grade" silicone adhesive is also available. I don't know the details but I'm sure it costs more than what you're using here, but then it's use should remove the possible toxicity concerns if one is making a mold to produce either body-use or edible products.
I'll bet it is still cheaper than silicone clay that this process replaces.
John Robinson
Curing removes the toxicity.
Are you sure about the curing removes the toxicity? would it not leach out toxins after cured for few days like paint or plastics do often? How about those 100% silicone tubes is that still toxic. I want to make a super custom mouthpiece for my diving regulator.
What about those tubes that say 100% silicone would still be toxic?
John Robinson Thanx Santa....uh, Mr. John 😊❤️
a dust mask filters dust not made for chemicals, other than that nice video.
I thought the same and I think he was misguided. But, in real terms, with all that corn starch wafting in the air, perhaps a dust mask is more appropriate.
Depends on the mask, some are only good for particulates others are good for vapors. One with a carbon filter will reduce the smell. None the less even a handkerchief is better than nothing. Also the vapors are no worse for you than most fingernail polish remover.
I wondered as well as he was coughing & sniffing. Might be a cold? Or is it irratation from fumes ?
I think a bug flew in his mouth just as the video starts
Garou, no, a handkerchief would be worse. It doesn't filter the gas produced but it hides the smell which would normally alert you to the smell. The mask he showed was only good for some particulates, I wouldn't use it for silica or asbestos protection for instance. As a woodworker, I wouldn't ever use a single band dust mask. I don't even know why they make them, I guess that mask would be OK for the corn starch if it is a problem.
Thank for that kind of idea its big help for us . I really appreciate it !!
Very nice and cool idea. The best part I liked is the safety warnings you gave at start and again repeated at end. I rarely observed these for DIY hacks. Thanks once again. I will try maybe not for candles but for making souvenir items in a mold. Keep it up...!!!
It very hard to hear what you were saying..
Theresa Hitchcock ditto here.
and ditto here
yeah, i think he's relying on the camera's microphone.
Can I make molds for resin?
I'm wondering same thing- as cheap as this method is just try it
Im Thinking the same too, was looking for a way to create cheap moulds, this could work with resin,
Yes. This would work well for resins. Pretty much anything not food or cosmetic grade could be cast with this. Obviously not super high heat like metal though.
Nathan Rogers
Once it cures it's fine for foodstuffs.
The toxicity, in fact, evaporates in the curing process.
If one is making a resin mould for plugs (the type for stretched earlobes) would it be safe to put them in your earlobes if moulded this way??
Great video, thanks! Do you know how to have it have a glossy finish? I want to use it with resin which takes on the texture of the mould. Thank you
Thanks a bunch for the great tutorial and the CC!!!
Are you any good at making bread ?
Awesome! Love the ingenuity 👍
Thank you for sharing. I am willing to try this. I watched all the videos with water dish detergent etc. it didn’t seem worth it. Can I follow your instructions and use this system to make a square bar of soap mold simply by wrapping the silicone over my model?
Dr. W. Octavia MalVeaux Dent
Yes...or cut it in segments and use silicon to glue them in place.
you can also make a mold from a product called,, Air Dry Clay,which is sold by Walmart. You use it as it comes from the container..It dries over night to about the same consistency as a masonry brick.The dried mold can be dissolved by placing in a container of water, leaving only the part that was produced if it is not affected by water.. I use it with friendly plastic. a low temp plastic that can be melted with hot water or in a microwave..But unlike your mold,,this one is not flexible, but is easy to work with .I enjoyed your video..U have a gift for explaining things clearly.
Does it have to be cornflour or can you use normal flour please
Tracey Hairgrove did thanks. It worked a treat. Thank you
Corn Starch and corn flour are the same thing...
NO they are not!! Most definitely not! Corn starch is fine like talcum powder and corn flour is coarse...think corn bread or polenta!!
No, they are not. Not at all.
www.differencebetween.info/difference-between-corn-flour-and-cornstarch
If you had one item to „embed“ and wanted to make a quantity of them, could you stick them in, and then remove it? Or does the silicone expand/warp too much?
it would really depend on what it was. but if it were too intricate, it will not retain the shape if you take it out before it has dried.
My ghetto metro pcs phone heard everything you said with crystal clarity. Maybe, alot of the people who could not hear you, either had a crappy device or hard of hearing. Great tutorial!
