INSTEAD OF LAMINATING SHEETS, USE VINYL TRANSFER SHEETS. THEY WORK VERY WELL AND MORE AFFORDABLE

This is sort of an update version of my silicone making. Here's my older mold tutorial which also can be used for non flatback pieces. • How to Make profession...
Vacuuming is NOT necessary if the mold manufacturer states that you don’t need to. Usually low viscosity silicone doesn’t need this process.
Forgive me for couple of typos I didn’t catch!

The pot life for this silicone seems to vary quite a bit depending on the amount mixed and temprature. I've actually found out that I can extend the pot life to 3+ hours if I chill the silicone in the fridge before mixing and put the mixed silicone back in the fridge for 30-60 min for the bubbles to release on their own. It allows you to get bubble-free castings without a vacuum chamber or pressure pot!

@victoriabutterfly6521 2 года назад

I use legos for making moulds as well. I love it because you always have the correct size and if you put petroleum jelly on the legos (but make sure that non of the petroleum jelly touches the items you want to make the mould off) the mould will easily slide out of the lego "box" once you are done

@evap.3439 3 года назад

Thank you AmyMade, an easy to follow video, from an experienced user ;-)... and loved the lego and rice tips. So can't find a mold for what I want so wanted to make a resin mold. I wanted to ask you what you prefer to use to 1) color the mold and resin and 2) will the silicon you used create a "glossy" surface, and if not, what do you use to get that shine on the resin.

@AmyMade 3 года назад

Hi. I never color my mold. To me, it’s an unnecessary step lol. For coloring resin, I use pigments made for resin both powder and liquid. So...silicone basically makes an exact copy of whatever you’re making your mold out of. So if your original is shiny/glossy, your casted resin pieces will be shiny as well. If your original is not shiny, you would have to clear coat it with a gloss spray before making your mold.

@saltynama 2 года назад

So I used your method and even purchased the same contact paper and silicone rubber. When I removed the contact paper 12 hours later, the bottom where the paper was is sticky. Does that eventually cure? Did the adhesive of the contact paper react with the rubber?

@AmyMade 2 года назад

That never happened to me. Unless they changed the laminate. I haven’t bought a new one since this video. It could be the rubber reacting. If its still sticky after you let it cure longer, I suggest dusting it with baby powder to remove the tackiness.

Here is another tip that I forgot last time i posted my comment.

Hi there, I recently bought this type of silicone and used it. I mixed properly and let it set for over 24 hours but the top (side where the pieces are) is still sticky and the pieces had some uncured silicone on them but inside the actual mold spots are fine. Did I do something wrong or is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

@AmyMade 4 года назад

Nyla Saghir I mean, the silicone is sticky but should not be tacky. What are you laying your pieces on? Maybe the silicone is reacting to that? Try putting some baby powder on the sticky portion to reduce the tackiness.
