@@Elizabeth-ve6ug Hey there, thanks to this comment I checked out the acetone video too which was helpful, so thank you! Looks like his video with the acetone is to make the silicone easier to pour over something you need to mould, and the above with the corn starch is to make a mould where things are pressed into it instead! It will depend on what you're doing which one will be better for you. Need a full 3d shape? Acetone and pour the mould. Want one side flat? Corn starch and press the object in.

Just use dish soap instead of cornstarch if u don’t have any on hand . Squeeze some dish soap into your water first, then put the silicone in - it eliminates the stickiness and as you are forming the mold ball in your hand you just keep forming the ball dipping your hand in the water as you go and once the silicone isn’t sticky at all ur mold is done

FYI: Working industrial insulation, we use a lot of silicon. The quick and easy way to remove silicon from surfaces and hands is WD-40. Spray with WD-40, wipe off then, wash with soap and water.

Where I worked, and used a lot of silicone, we just used laquer thinner to wash it off with, LOL! We didn't want any WD-40 wafting along in the breeze, as awful things happen when you paint a surface that's gotten WD-40 on it. You've never seen the extreme level of fish-eye that stuff creates!

Mary Ann Bittle ... Oh, yes I have!👁 It's nothing for us to go through a case of silicon a day. Spraying a small amount of WD-40 to rub on one's hand to quickly breakdown, (without gumminess), silicon and wash away with soap and water takes place in sink, not in a painting work area, (enclosed?), where you indicate you use the thinner. Even advertised as orderless, thinners are the more hazardous choice and are easily spilled. But, each to his/her own.🙂

@@MaryAnnNytowl ... Laq. Thinner, besides being caustic/flammable, wouldn’t cut the industrial silicon we used; would cause it to gum up and smear and made a sticky mess that wouldn’t wash nor wipe off. We had only one authorized safety cleanup station in a huge sq. ft.-entirely open/no walls (except along one wall for bathrooms & office) floor plan-3 stories high semi-open bldg housing the warehouse/materials storage, tool cage, open area welding shop & our insulation-fabrication-heat-trace shop area. Insulating materials aren’t the pink house stuff. It is an electrical power generation plant using coal mined/processed in the area. TIP: Last Fall, using hi-temp silicon on my wood stove and out of WD-40, I tried a few drops of pure Tea Tree Oil I keep on hand for various uses. Walmart carries it. It instantly dissolved the silicon on my hands, added soap and washed clean.

@@Dodo-yq2ew yes. Some baby powder is actually corn starch!

Absolutely amazing. I’ve been researching a DIY silicone mold making process and although the information seems to be the same across the board, your video is the most concise one I’ve found. You don’t waste time explaining WHAT you’re going to do before you do it, you just get started. I really appreciate that. Easy to follow, simple, concise. Great job, and thank you!

Absolutely perfect. Very short and to the point, informative and repetitive just enough. Thank you I am so excited to start making molds!!!!! yayeeeeee didn't even really consider that I could literally mold anything so thank you sooooo much!!!!!

Thank you for actually casting something in these molds. Ive seen so many tutorials with this method, but no actual castings to measure the quality of the mold.

Omg. I love this! I've seen people selling molds for $80. You've just saved me sooo much money. Thanks! Love your videos. Makes me want to keep making stuff

doing repairs on a recently exposed plaster medallion on the ceiling.... this worked really well for us. the mould has remained flexible for months. and captured all the detail we needed. the instructions worked perfectly. and this was quite big, 7 or 8 tubes of caulking. just did it again for the medallion in a second room.

Simple and to the point. So many people love to talk and talk about other things, other than what they are teaching. I get lost in words sometimes.

I've decided that I want to make some dice for my brother with resin. I've never tried resin art before and I needed a mold so I'm going to try this. Thanks!

Your videos have taught me SO much. Every time I have had a question about candle making, your channel is always the first one that pops up. I randomly discovered interest in this hobby over the last few months after spending a lot of time at home following some pretty tragic events. Seeing you go from a passion for a hobby all the way to starting your own candle business is amazing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and tips for us smaller creators :)

I been using this method for years to make lost wax jewelry castings and such. Works great. I don't care for the naphta method, it makes it smell funny and it doesn't go away.

Now that is something I can get on board with! So much more cost effective compared to the jars of moulding compound I've been buying to make my own moulds for plaster pieces provided I can master making a two piece mould using this method.👏

I just watched a video about using cornstarch to make a mold like this but it was very unclear. I liked this presentation. This seems like a really easy way to make a mold and the oreo cookies looked like it showed fine details. Glad I watched!

Terrific, and I can immediately see the possibilities for quickie 2-part molds, without requiring a form or 'container', and would probably first smoosh pieces of the mixed silicone into the sockets and finer details of more complex models. Especially love your simple, straight forward approach in general... thx!

i dont just love the content of the video i love the fact that it's straight forward, no annoying background music too! good job!

OMG!!!!! I looooooooove this!!! The silicone kit I usually buy is soooo expensive that I limit myself, NO more !!!! this is A-MA-ZING!!! Thank you!!!

Silicone mold kits with 2 part mixes are cool but this is just awesome. No waiting on orders just hit home depot and get it rollin'. Thank you.

You have taught me a lot, I'm going shopping in the morning for cookies for the mold I have corn starch and silicone here already. Thanks for sharing!! Saved me money candle making is expensive.

OMG! Thank you for this video! I am a soap and resin crafter but did not know how EASY it was to make my own molds!

awesome! Thank you so much! I teach high school art and we will be working with resin and make things to sell as a fund raiser. This is so much better than buying pre-made molds because the children can make their own designs! The oreo is fun! I bet this works for soap also. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! (Art teacher on a small budget)

Been using polyvinylsiloxane and related impression materials for 40 + years, cost me a fortune as material is relatively expensive , never knew you could in a sense mix your own.Never too old to learn.There are umpteen applications,I would suggest blending material more thoroughly .

Yes!! Thank you. Can't wait to try this. The sea shells caught my attention! I have been buying moulds to use with paper clay to make furniture appliques. Really want to make my own and save $$$.

Wow!! You made this look super easy. I tried this over a year ago and got discouraged to use it. You’ve simplified the process! Thanks a bunch!!:)

I look forward to trying this. This method seems perfect for small mold projects.

Thats pretty cool, my wife was talking about making soap, this would be a great way to get some cool shapes. I use silicon to fill truss rod channels on the guitars I build so they won't rattle in the neck. Never thought to use it like this,

Absolutely the best homemade mold mix DIY. THANK you !!!

Tim, this tutorial is a gift! I've longed to invent my own molds, and this is cheap'n'easy. But, the video is so well-organized, answers so many questions, I subscribed right away just because I trusted you not to waste viewers' time. Nice!

I love that fact you did this three times. "One more time..." lol I LOVE it!Thank you so much! I'm going to do this right now as I have the ingredients on hand. I plan to roll it out though so the items molded later will have level backs.

BEST tutorial ... where have i been all these years. Thanks i can now make my own personal resin bangles and rings yaaaayyy!

Tim, this was great. Here's a tip though? If you drop your silicone into the water, you can manipulate it with your hands without the sticky stuff, then you just make a ball of it and drop your negative into it, let it dry and walla! No sticky stuff, no cornstarch! If your bent on colors, you could add the food coloring to the water.🤗

Such a great video and so simple and affordable. So many mould making kits out there that are so expensive and not enough product to do the volume of mould. Thanks great job.

I'm glad you did an updated video. Thanks

thanks! I make soap so this is a great idea instead of ordering what I need for extra molds!

well presented. Most craft videos either have too much intro banter by the artist and /or not enough simple, straight to the point demonstrations with clear advice on products being used.

By Far the best tutorial on molds - thank you for sharing

This is the best video on KZread for this technique. I have made molds and texture sheets for polymer clay and they work beautifully. Thanks for sharing.

Always check the expiration date on the silicone. I bought one without checking ar walmart and it was hard as a rock....good video...

Lol these is one way. I put the silicone in the container. Just keep adding whatever amount you need. Tap it down to release bubbles. Then set you items in the silicone. Walk away and it will set in a few hours. Over time it will become more firm. Remove from container and remove pieces. Done. No corn starch needed... the silicone will set on its on and you have time to work with it. I make 3 molds this way.

You are the best among all, Simple small talking, excellent work.

this is so perfect! I can’t wait to try this for my own use with resin.

Fantastic video! I can't wait to try this! Thank you!

Fantastic....TIP...add the Cornstarch to the bowl with the silicone...so you don't waste anything and it's easier....The cook in me just does it that way....

This video has changed my life! thank you!!

Man that really is a fantastic idea for doing mold I used to work in a small business that used silicon resin and it was expensive to make at the time any way I will be using your idea, thank you for the educational information

Good job, I want to try brushing this on a large item and make a big mold. I hope it works because otherwise the other silicone mix is too expensive

Thank you for doing it 3 times. Gives us more to understand then just once

Mind blowing! I’m literally looking for a mold I cannot find ANYWHERE, and just purchased a small silicone mold kit to make a few for myself, but it’s expensive. I’ve also never done it before, so I have no idea how it’s going to turn out. This looks like I could handle it, but I’d probably need that whole thing of caulking, because I want to make a 3D mold.
