Fixing Dull Silicone Molds and My Leveling Table
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Hey everyone. I started having issues with my silicone mold getting dull and unusable. I also had another one that was so thin that it would leave ripples in the resin as it cured. I was having issues finding a good replacement. So, I search on the internet and came across a KZread channel called Pouring Your Heart Out, where she addressed the dull issues of a well-loved silicone mold.
In this video, I attempt to fix my two silicone molds using her method. I want to thank the creator of Pouring Your Heart Out for her video. It was very helpful and informative.
I also introduce my leveling table and how I keep it usable even with resin and level it. The table is 12x24 inches but you can build one to any size you wish. I may be expanding mine soon.
If you are interested in her video, here is the link.

I found a useful tool for new KZreadrs. I just started using TubeBuddy to help me with my KZread channel. It helps with keyword searches, quick links within the KZread Channel platform, shows me video performance, and overall has helped my videos get exposure when using the tools in TubeBuddy. Within a day, I saw an increase in views on the videos that I reworked using some of the tools in TubeBuddy. I am still exploring more and I highly recommend anyone with a KZread channel, especially those just starting or those who have hit a "brick wall" to try TubeBuddy. Use my link and see for yourself.

thank you! My studio is a converted garage so the floor has a slight slope. It's fine for working in but for something that needs to be level, it causes issues. This table works wonders for that.
Great I am going to re shine some of my old moulds , thank you so very much.

Welcome! I have refreshed a few of mine so far with great results. I hope it works for you as well.
Wow, I didn't even realize you could do this. I'm going to try this out for my dull molds, but also for molds that were never shiny. Thank you so much!

I hope it works for you. I have been using it on several of my older molds to revitalize them and I love it.

@@CreationStudiowithLaLitaIn a pinch, you can also coat them with a layer of UV. I do this all the time with molds made with a matte finish. I have several but only use them on occasion
Thanks for the lesson😊

Thank you for proving the need of a release agent to protect your mold for long term use.

Great info, definitely heading to your channel to check out your other videos. Hoping there is one that shows you assembling your leveling table 😊

Thank you. I didn't record when I built the table. But I can do a tutorial on how I constructed it since I will be modifying it soon. Look for it in the future!
Good job

Thank you! I just added a more detailed video on it. Please check it out kzread.info/dash/bejne/nWeV15SRdcmaqto.html
I saw your video for the first time. I will be interested in watching more of your videos. I saw the one with the table that you made. Can you tell me the measurements of your table. Thank you.

I just added a video on this table. Please check it out. kzread.info/dash/bejne/nWeV15SRdcmaqto.html It goes over all the specs.
Good idea! That's cool at the end about popping it out and being able to repour again, and get the depth back if you need to. I have been wondering how to restore a mould that has detail on it. It seems this method would cover the detail, so I'm wondering if there is a kind of spray method or something to spruce up the shine?

Not sure but that would be very useful.
Why didn't you do the sides as well.
@CreationStudiowithLaLita

The sides had no issues. They were still producing a shiny finish and were strong enough not to bow.
You could always make your own molds….
