If I used GE 100% silicone that is mold resistant would that keep it from setting up? I tried this and my silicone is still very sticky after several days. And I use this same silicone As a glue substitute to make yard art with glass and it sets up within 30 minutes. Maybe I just didn't use enough of the soap. I think I might stick to the cornstarch method and it would be cheaper.

@TobyFireandSteel

Corn starch does ultimately make it cheaper because it bulks it up. Im sure yours should work fine. The more you knead it the faster it goes off. My first one i did took several days before I could demold it and stunk for weeks. Maybe wait a few more days

@@organicartbylea300 oh cool. Sorry I didn't mean to question you're abilities. Yeah te possible that the silicone wasn't fully cured I suppose and as you know the cold deffo plays havoc with resin. I normally dont use my molds to the stop smelling so strongly.

I tried this and I got to much water in the silicone and it never did get hard or set up and I found many water pockets in the silicone. What did I do wrong?????

Thanks for complement. Sorry you're so easily scared lol

Bloody UK prices, it only works out a little cheaper here - 28 quid for 1KG of silicone or 26 quid using sealant :(

That was really cool. I had no idea. I though it was some special 2 part compound that you make them from. That is so simple its not funny! Bloody sellys from bumrings....... who woulda thunk it!
