Silicone Mold Making Kit 56oz

This was my first time trying this brand and I'm so pleased!!! I only use polymer clay at the moment and for whatever reason, the formula of all clear silicone seems to be incompatible with it, so I made sure I got the green one from this brand and it worked perfectly!!! Fully cured within the estimated time frame and I did not need to weigh each portion. I just eyeballed the volume of each part and it captured all the detail from my sculpts. Unfortunately I can't use them again to make another mold because they lost their tips when demolding, but I probably could have avoided that by slicing the mold open. Overall I'm so happy this worked out. Will definitely use this brand again!

The 38 oz Liquid Silicone Mold Making Kit offers a straightforward 1:1 mixing ratio, making it easy to use for beginners and professionals alike. Its 15A hardness is versatile, perfect for creating molds for resin, soap, concrete, and wax projects. The jade green color provides a nice visual for precision mixing. The silicone cures well, capturing intricate details effectively. This kit is a reliable choice for DIY enthusiasts looking to craft durable and detailed molds.

It's nice to have a simple one-to-one ratio. I'm not sure if I would get a colored combo again; I think I prefer clear. That said, this worked great for my project. TIP: To avoid a sticky, uncured mold be sure to use equal parts of each (I prefer to measure, not eyeball!), and stir thoroughly including scraping the sides of and bottom of the container while stirring.

I made several molds with this silicone using pieces of acrylic that I engrave and cut out with my diode laser. Most of them were butterflies that I am going to make resin earrings out of. They were very detailed and the silicone picked up every little detail like it was the original. I am very happy with this kit. Because the pieces were small I used 2 oz straight sided shot glasses for the housing of the silicone molds and placed my acrylic pieces on the bottom with the detailed part facing up. I let them cure overnight and they turned out way better than I anticipated. I am not sure what it is about the green silicone, but it seems to work a lot better than the clear silicone mold making kits. I let this sit for a few minutes to degas, it degassed on its own without using a degassing chamber. To be on the safe side I used a straw to blow on it before I poured it to make sure there were not any more air bubbles. I didn't not see any air bubbles or air pockets in the 20+ molds that I have made so far, and every one of them is usable.

A great alternative to more expensive platinum silicones. The usual top brand silicone I've been working with is triple the price and this works just as well. The longer cure time isn't an issue for me, I usually feel rushed anyway especially since I want to get it pressurized before it starts to harden. The end result is a little stiffer than I'm used to but for the cap molding technique I use this isn't a problem.
