i dont know they put it in the water first, may as well go straight in the mould. u do layer by layer for latex because it dries quicker.

You can make something 3D you just put it in the middle of the ball when it dries the next day just to be safe when you cut your product out you don't want to cut a straight line try to cut a zig zag down one side to pop your product out. I've made a mold when we were bronze casting. I pour the cilaca wax into the mold to make many of one thing. Then keep dipping in the cilaca casting mix it took about a week the whole process it can be expensive because you have to leave the fan on for a week. Then we put the casting in a ceramic making oven the cast is ready to pour we bury the cast in sand then pour the multing bronze in the cast wait until it cools the brake the casting off the bronze it will capture every little detail even your finger prints if you leave them on the wax mold. I for got a few steps like the wax vents you have to attach to your mold so the air can escape you just cut them off with a saw or wire snippers depend on how thick the wax vents are .

Danny M True, I did two batches right behind each other, and you can see a parting line. I was able to separate it a little, but did not try to. pull it apart completely.

sıla Gundogan I did, but I spray a release agent on it first. Not sure if it was needed.

Yes it would x

About 1 hour to set and remove.

+WILD CHILD Did the water ever cure out of your molds? I was wondering about this myself because I'd like to make some candle molds.

No it didn't. After 3 weeks, Then I tore it up to see inside of the silicone and it had bubbles full of water. So The idea was good but the product itself is not designed for making molds. It would have been great to make them out of silicone calk because the mold kits are so expensive. I guess if you want to make a temporary mold it would work but then after a couple of weeks you would have to throw it out.

Well that sucks doesn't it?

YES IT DOES !!! :0(

+WILD CHILD did you need the silicone outside of the soapy water once it has started ti set??? that should have worked the air bubbles and soapy water out of the silicone

+Lynette McKone because you need the spaghetti like texture to help expose the surface to the cold water as much as possible to help start it setting up.

No you don't. It's a much faster process when you CUT THE TUBE to release more of the silicone at once. 1. Easier to get out of tube. 2. Faster to get out of tube. 3. Same time spent Mixing in hands, (and actually even quicker since your working with "more" silicone). 4. Larger amounts of silicone in hand ='s bigger balls, ='s Less time spent Pumping the tube, applying the silicone to your project, and going back to repeat all the steps, over and over again. *Cut tube to the Bigger Section to release MORE Silicone at one time!*

+Heidi Fox Home improvement/anything building related stores always has it, but getting it cheapest.. i think you could try search ebay or just give a call to importer, but be ready to buy lots in that case and i mean by the pallet loads. Adding color.. it comes in white, black, clear, but you can add paint to it, but it has to work with silicone. I'm guessing oil base paint could work? Using it as sculpting is no go. It flex way too much to be accurate and you really only can cut it. Using router tool or similar will just rip it. You could try to find suitable method, but no. Its cheaper and less trouble some, to make part from something like clay that you can sculpt and then use silicone only as mold. Also when your pouring silicone into water, take the tip off, so you trap less water into putty. Making strings like that just wastes silicone and makes it harder to handle. You really only need soap+water mix to prevent it sticking in your hands, bucket and to work peace. Actually you could try coating work peace with soap and then pouring in the silicone directly on the work peace, then spread it with soupy hands or some tool.

+LaConfessional use high temp silicone, and u will b able 2 do so...

É detergente para a loiça.

+Magik Dust I know it's been a while since you asked, but to answer your question, most likely not. While this method will work in a pinch, it's really not an ideal molding technique. Most proper molding materials will pick up the finest details (including that fingerprint you didn't notice)and reproduce the same finish as what the original piece had. Most molding silicones are pourable, or at least brushable, to pick up detail. This is basically like sticking clay to something and expecting a perfect copy, It's just not going to happen in most cases.

No...it is NOT food safe!

Adrian Thomas Dish detergent.

Lo que no entiendo, es como quedó eso!!!

How did it go ? I hope you didnt use sanitary one :D they stink like hell :D

There were a few bits of the mould that had thin walls (less than 0.5mm thick) that I had to squeeze very big parts through in order to get the hard sugar out of the mould. After a couple of casts these thin silicone films ripped open a little but I think that was down to the shape of the mould and lack of release spray rather than the silicone itself having bad reaction to the heat. The sugar was liquid and between 180 and 190C and otherwise has left the shape of the moulds unchanged :D

It's wet

+cristian cornejo soapy and cold and wet. cold and wet sets the silicone.

+francoise veron stamp warm and wet, it needs humidity and warmth accelerates the chemistry. the video was not accurate.

+monstercolorfun co re watch she says cold and wet hahaha..

+francoise veron stamp ha you say it is not accurate.. i dont know i only worked with room temp silicone so far...

Because some people make silicone casts, not just molds.

Exactly

I have used food coloring for this.

I know the comment is very old but this may be helpful for people lol. From what I know you can add some acrylic paint and knead it in to color the mold.

Márcia Sousa I had success with GE silicone type I not type ll

hi can you tell me how to make a phone cover

@casandra Morehouse can you explain me how to make it that way??

Kitos Marco morales Look up sugru

Your figures are way off!!! This is by far the best and cheapest way of making a cast.
