Thanks for sharing how to make molds Tina. That is a very good way to save money on those expensive molds. I'm definitely goin
g to try this.
You are so welcome!
Thank you greatly! For shiny resin casts you can use the silicone, water and dish washing liquid technique to make a very smooth inner layer and then cornstarch method for the outer layer. Thank you greatly again!
Can we use handwash liquid instead of dish wash liquid?
@@Wisdomcanvas101 I have never tried handwash. Dishwashing liquid is far soapier than handwash which I suspect also contains other other skin care & protection stuff that dishwashing liquid does not. handwash liquid is also more expensive.
My suggestion is to try it and let us know. I will give it a bash with my next mould too.
Thank you fir this video, looks like it would be fun to make!
Yay!! Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m definitely following your tutorial and making my own molds😆🥳❤️Thanks again😃cat x
Hello, just found you!
Two words… You rock! I cannot wait to try this. Thanks so much for sharing. I’ve been wanting to make some silicone molds, but just could not afford it by the bottle.
Thanks again and I’ll be back! -Momo
This is such a great idea, I'm going to give it a go. I'll have to find something other than candy, though because I'd probably eat it all before it could make it to the mold :)
awesome. I have found that a ratio of 10:1 for silicone to cornstarch works really well. gives me more working time but cures fast as well. I am going to try and thin it out with some acetone as well to make pourable.
100 grams of silicone to 10 grams of starch:)
how firm is the mold once it fully cures?
@@PaulShavera113 with 10 to 1, its about a medium firmness. Thats the best way i can describe it. Its not tough, but not flimsy. I also thin the silicone with either acetone or xylene.
@@LT72884 thank you, I plan to use it to make arch supports for my shoes, but wanted to make sure it wouldn't be overly squishy
@@PaulShavera113 yup:) you can add more cornstarch to even make it more firm:)
Cool! I am going to try this. You did a wonderful job!
Could I pour my wax in this?
Hey, just wanted to say you can add naptha to make this more runny for pouring over detailed stuff. its good thick mold material as is though, I like it to make rubber stamps.
This is not food safe, by the way. The cornstarch can allow microbes to flourish. _Ge sillicone 2_ has antimicrobials in it, but I still would be wary, at least give it a brief wash or quick wipe with isopropyl after and before each use
Hi - Great video. You made it so user friendly. Can't wait to get molding. Thanks for sharing and continued success. Love PegEgg
If you have too much dough can it be stored till you find a use for it in a plastic tub or bags for example
I would have liked to have seen how you got the peanut butter cup our of the mold.
Is there a “starting amount” as in 1/2 cup silicone to 2-3 tablespoons of corn starch?
How much time do you have to create your molds after the mixture is ready (before it gets too stiff/hard)? I am wondering if it's possible to do a big batch for a lot of different molds?
Thank you so much It’s very helpful ❤️👍👏🏻👏🏻
FYI.... She didn't mention this, But! If you use Silicone 2, be reminded that when drying it will have an ammonia smell. Silicone 2 is cheaper than silicone 1, but Silicone 1 doesn't have anti-mildew and anti-mold additives.
....when the supermarket is out of patty pans 😃
So.awesome #replay!!!! Ill have to try 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Can it use for resin 😊
Can I use a potato starch instead of corn starch? Thank you
Will it damage them if the mold gets wet once they are dry
How can I make a double so I can make a pair of skates to I make one side and then another one and then put a box style and pour the plaster in? thank you
Could I use Corn flour instead of Corn Starch?
Can you use talc instead of cornstarch
Can I use this to mold chocolates?
I have a question if I was gone mold a lashes case which position would I place the top part to close the case?
Was that foam clay ?
mine didn't set up and it was in that bulk state what did I do wrong?
Hi Tina, could I use gap filler with this mold recipe?
Ummmmmmm no
Awesome
Thank you for the video
It definately works for making molds, but are you sure it's safe for making things you wanna eat afterwards ? I mean people use gloves and sometimes googles to manipulate silicone
I stated that these molds are for clay and things like that. Definitely wouldn't use these to make food as they are not food safe. And you should definitely throw out anything that you used to make the mold.
Please look up the term "draft angle" before you start making molds. It will make your work so much better.
Can this mould sustain high temperatures like that of molten lead? I want to make one for diving weights. Will this work for it ?
Would not recommend
Can i make Halloween mask from it ?
For candles?
I guess to make them shiny you could spray with Supergloss clear
I've been told that a two-part resin will not set hard in a silicone/corn starch mold. Is there any truth to that?
I have used these for resin and they have set up hard. They just weren't shiny
Can I use them with wax
Yes!
Now what about dish soap isn't there w way to put it in water with dish soap then u use the corn starcg
How safe would the silicon be to use with food? If the silicon you used is not food rated.
I think you answered your own question. You can use food to make a mold of but wouldn't make food with the mold. Or eat the food you used to make a mold of.
@@livingthecraftylife6774 I don’t think your answer is clear, not because you mix food with some other product that is not food rated makes it ok to be used with food. I am not attacking you just asking a simple question. But if you do not have that answer it’s ok too. Just wondering how safe this would be to use with food or other approach would be better.Thank you for the video it was very informative.
@@jc_hz4196..I would not trust the silicone with making food…you would have to use another mold for that + fondant…
@@jc_hz4196 I was very clear to me. Don't use food!
Only one thing you didnt tell us: How many hours, till it's Cured/set, to start using the mold??
It will depend on the thickness of the mold. I used the one in this tutorial within 15 minutes
Can u use this on silicone surfaces?
Yes you can
What is other thing than starch ?
Can you use the white silicone
Yes as long as it is 100% silicone
Is this food grade?
No
Ty
You can use car polish to shine the piece…
Would using that alone (w/no sanding 1st) clear up that cloudy/dull film look on the surface so resin will be more clear & shiny? I poured a small 4oz elephant mold that came out good & doesn't need anything smoothed, just looks dull so not sure it needs to be sanded or adding a coat of clear resin will fix the prob.. Sorry to write a book- but is sanding epoxy resin a requirement to get it as shiny & clear as possible?? I'm only making small stuff like crystal/geode molds for jewelry-not pouring tabletops lol
How would I make a figure like a Action figure
Get a 3d printer
Anyone try to make soft baits lure’s using this method?
I thought you’re not supposed to use silicone 2?
Carn Starch
Can I use this for chocolste? Is it safe?
No it’s definitely not food safe. Although I think there may be a food safe silicon available but this silicon in the video is not food safe
I was wondering about that myself lol hopefully she isn't making food from them and selling them to ppl 😮
Is this oven safe at low temps?
No
thank God I found you
NICE ONE KIDDO:)
She never reply’s ! Very annoying!
I'm having an issue with cracking and it's just not holding well.
Yes I’ve had that issue too 😐
