I have some of that morph stuff! I use it when setting stones in my jewellery, but I never thought about using it like this. Great idea, and one I will adopt immediately. 😊

Does anyone recall “friendly plastic “? I used to make jewellery with is about 30 years ago as a teenager. It came in strips… thermo reactive plastic with all colours and or foil finish/patters about 2” x 6”. You popped it in hot water to and then crafted away! Fab stuff

Great at making moulds I might invest in their liquid silicone Didn’t like the jewellery though. Maybe if we’re metallic colours or moulds brushed with mica But it’s all about individual taste. Well done tho. You made it look soo easy

JDiction don't sell SO many of their products to those of us in the UK. Could you advise us what alternatives there might be here for them - especially the metallic markers? There are loads advertised, but no reviews to comment on how good they are!

Do u know if this is what oyumaru is? 🤔 Oyumaru is a "plastic clay" that comes in lil blocks.. usually clear or transparent colors and u put them in hot water just like this and we press it onto things to make molds of them.. instead of pressing the oyumaru into the molds we use the oyumaru AS the molds and can use uv resin etc in it.. I hope that makes sense? 😅 I'm wondering if this could work the same way? 😊 Although I know resin gets pretty warm and that may make the plastic stuff (and oyumaru) misshapen at some point.. I know oyumaru can be used and reused as well 🥰 I'd love to know more about this! Tysm! Very fun and interesting!

my question is when you brushed on the gold paint. did you have to use a varnish? is their a special varnish for resin pendants to not irritate the skin? thank you in advance

Hi i got a question i got a holographic mold and i found that after demolding it the holographic effect can rub off very easily or get scracthed. is there anyway to cover it with a clear coat or does it need to cure longer. Its just so beautiful but doesnt last so im scared to sell to people for it to just come off easy.

My go to would have been regular ol plaster to make a piece, or to make a mould from a finished head, or to coat it with Vaseline and pour silicone in to make a mold. Yours look good :)

Hello! May I ask where else I can buy the varnish spray you use or is there an alternative brand of varnish spray? I’ve looked for 3 brand of recommended varnish spray and they’re all out of stock…😢 And I’ve used two brands of varnish spray I randomly chose and they didn’t work~ Thank you so much

What you could have used is a silicone pastry brush to brush on the molds before you fill it up.

Hi, I hope u can help me 😢 I made a boo boo by not having my scales on a flat surface and didn't have enough hardener in so it wasn't fully set after over 24hrs, so I left resin behind in the few moulds I used and left a sticky mess in some of the slots in them moulds, I need to know how to get rid of this as I've used isopropyl alcohol and a warm soapy water and there is still some stickiness around please 🙏 help
