How to take care of your silicone molds shows how to keep them in good condition, store them safely and prevent damage. To get the maximum life out of a silicone mold and save yourself some money, for resin, it is important to follow a few simple steps. You will find that your resin is easier to remove from the silicone molds, that your silicone molds don't crack and dry out, and they are easier to use, giving you some clear and precise castings.

Although I often talk about health and safety in my videos, please make sure you do your own research and take the relevant precautions to ensure that you are protecting your health. I am not responsible for anyone using resin and not taking the correct safety precautions. Resin is a chemical and as such should be always treated with respect and the manufacturers safety advice taken.

I'm another newbie to the resin world. I've been watching your videos for a while so I can be better prepared when I start, and for the wonderful ideas you've shared too. Just got some silicone molds and measuring cups to start off with, waiting on better ventilation now. I knew that having cats, I would need to keep the molds stored where fur doesn't get on them. I had no idea beyond that on proper storage and care. So this video was extremely helpful. And I'm sure the baggies will prevent fur getting to them even better than the plastic storage box I'd put them in. Thanks so much for all that you share! I really enjoy watching your videos. :)

Thank you so much for creating this video. It is extremely informative, it addresses so many different things such as explaining the damages on your moulds and how not to get them. You were easy to listen to, imagine grateful you didn't put music in the background 😂 because sometimes it's to hard hear everything that the person is saying. So far this video is the most informative and helpful video on cleaning moulds so far with resin. The bloopers were awesome as well haha 😂

The packing tape trick? OMG!!! I immediately got packing tape down and tried it on a mold I used last night and couldn't get stuff out of the cracks and crevices. It had mica powder in it that I couldn't get out all the way and I just pushed the packing tape in with the blunt end of a wooden skewer. Thanks so much!!

I just got a cheap resin kit to see if I enjoyed it. Then while waiting on delivery I found your videos. Very informative but now I have a shopping list. Actually I have two shopping lists. One for immediate needs just to try things out and the other for in the future. Luckily I already have the breathing equipment. So I don't need that but there's a bunch of other stuff I need. Mainly baby wipes and mixing cups cuz I forgot those last night. This had better be fun. Thanks for the instructions! I keep watching & my list keeps getting longer. Seriously I have a notepad app open behind the youtube app & keep having to switch over to it. Luckily everything is inexpensive so far. At least for starting anyway.
