DIY FOOD SAFE MOLD. Freezer Mold. Gelatine and Glycerin 

I am so glad you like my videos. Your comment is inspiring. Thank you.

I love that ! Thanks for sharing.

Merry Christmas.

@@GEOsustainable Amd a Merry Christmas to you 🤶🎄🤶

Thank you. Follow the directions and use the Knox.

Thank you. I am so glad you find value in my content.

No, sorry. I don't work in either of those medium. I am glad you enjoyed. I do work in other medium if you want to give a look.

Yes, many folks do. I would guess you are making 'cold process soaps'?

Would this work for resin?

You know this is going to end with...try it, and let us know. Glycerin is a humectant (holds water), used in so many applications, including those soft bake cookies. The same is true for gelatin, glycerin softens it and makes it flexible. Glycerin will in time, work out, but that takes years. I buy it by the gallon for my bioplastics (protein and starch backbone polymers). Glycerin has no bactericidal efficacy, and can even promote bacterial growth if not used with alcohol, as I used in the WHO formula video I posted. I suggest that you search for alternative humectants if you plan to not refrigerate your ballistic gel for more than 3 hours. One trick I use to retard bacteria is Thymol (thyme herb) and is what is in Listerine to kill bacteria. Hope this helps, if not, email me and we can hammer on this together.

try it and see. let us know.

Well, then, let's discuss your requirements via email. Replies to a reply don't get a notification. My email is posted in the description.

I have not, but this method should work well enough. I do work with plaster and this works great for it.

I can't say, I have never really used these much.

Yes, 99.5% is fine. That is what I use. I use Glycerine made for live stock (cow and horse).

@@GEOsustainable oh great :) thx. I'm purchasing now :)

It is a food safe mold that kids can have fun with. It can be remelted, yes. You can adjust the Glycerine to reduce the 'stickiness', or add cornstarch coating, lot's of options to to try. Enjoy experimenting!

Id say the stickiness of the mould is not what one is after, but considering this is primarily a cheaper alternative, stickiness can just be ignored :)

yep, measurements will be given in different standards. You can convert as needed.

You must be joking, it melts at 100F

So it can be add to a material as catalyst

I did not check it. I bought some, but the Gelatine was handy. Agar has a higher melt temperature, but everything else should be the same. Depending on your application, the mold should be reusable. Even if not, you can use this over and over again for your negatives.

@@GEOsustainable The tensile strength should be the same?

Sounds like a fun idea.

Welcome, but, clearly, you did not watch the full video.

It depends on the thickness, and the hardness you want. The factors that will be variable are the thickness and the amount of Glycerin. For hardness, I demonstrate a food packaging version here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6WNHoKeFQUU.html

thank you!!! I also gotta ask, if i make a thick one, would it shrink and crack as it dries? I used cornstarch instead of gelatine based from another recipe and it keeps cracking. ☹️

@@GEOsustainable so if you want it to be jello-like but still don't break apart, what do you do? add more glycerin and water?

@@NikkiNapalang Well, try this recipe as is. I have not tried cornstarch and not sure why.

@@ruyvieira104 You will have to try a few versions to get it like you want.

yes

@@GEOsustainable thanks!! will try

Did that work?

I am not sure. In the freezer, never I expect.

I forget how much I added, but when I made some of this stuff -- well over a year ago -- I added vinegar to it. Still sitting in the jar (not refrigerated, the whole time), with not a spot of mold on it!

@@benrositas8068 Thank you so much for adding to recipe. I will try it and will pass this on.

This is not a good option if it gets wet, as it is not insoluble. Look at the link I put here for a good option. ru-vid.com/group/PLmAU7fwOLS3FSvjEzf3OJMHL5a1UO1ayJ

Great question. Glycerol is the same as Glycerine. Spelling is different in different countries. Glycerol, Glycerin and Glycerine are the same thing.

@@GEOsustainable thank you :)

@@mariagrazia6698 Thank you, for asking a question many have. Thank you for the opportunity to answer.

That sounds like my next series of videos. We can explore this and related bioplastics in detail.

@@GEOsustainable heck yea sounds good i make my own soft plastics now but i want to some how mimic a gulp lure that when its left out it shrinks up, but soon as you throw it back in it soultions it expands back to its normal shape all while it absorbs the fluid its in! Its biodegradable. But its reaction to the fish is way more potent over a pvc lure/ plastisol

i was thinking toy gummie bears ...i'd like to use them as inclusions for slimes. people are using resin pieces to add as a topper to your slime creation, & they use foam & clay pieces, i want to make little squishy pieces that way they're soft & pliable or bendable like the slimes as you mash & squeeze them. plus if you're into slimes then you're probably also into squishies. the squishy toys are harder & expensive to DIY, unlike the slimes, and so its thrilling to handmake squishies, especially the clear ones.

No, it will melt.

checkout artisanne_chocolatier on IG she has a version that she uses for chocolate!! Im really excited to try it too!

Good Luck. This is similar to Jello, and melts at room temperature.

@@GEOsustainable we have gottwn to stay at room temp with no melting. We used a 2part eater, 2part glycerin and 1part gelatin. So far it takes resin, and doesnt melt at room twmp

@@LT72884 can you give me recipe in gram and ml

@@kozulgaming7349 just use equal amount of vegetable glycerin to gelatin. NO WATER. Melt it all together in a pan on low heat until its all dissolved. Use as you would silicone. Place in fridge to cure it for an hour or so. This stuff can be remelted down to liquid again to be reused

As someone that hot walked thoroughbred horses at Churchill Downs as a boy, I can say for sure it does not smell like horses, running or done running.
