I will let you be the judge of whether it was easy or not to make your own silicone molds on a budget. I did have a laugh though, especially method 3.

I have used the cornstarch method several times, and I find it works very well. You simply did it wrong. You are supposed to add a small amount of acrylic craft paint to it, not just to colour it, but to speed up the curing process. You are also supposed to mix a lot of the cornstarch into the silicone while it is still in the cup. This will make it much less sticky when you start kneading it. While I do wear gloves and frequently get sticky fingers, I have actually used my bare hands with the cornstarch method on occasion without having to remove goo from my hands afterwards. The mixture cures very quickly, often within 15 minutes(!). The molds are not crumbly like your's was. They are firm and hard like those little bouncey rubber balls I used to play with when I was a kid, and the detail they pick up is marvelous.

Mr. Eaton, do you have to mix the 1% silicone roof/RV coating with anything or just pour over the item you want to make a mold for? I have a larger item I want to make a mold for and this sounds like a great idea. Thanks for any information you can provide for me.

I've tried these methods and, after an even worse mess with the cornstarch than you got, I found a way to use it with a lot of success. Put you silicone into a plastic bag and add a small amount of cornstarch (maybe half a teaspoon for the amount of silicon you used) and knead it until mixed. Cut a corner of the bag and squeeze the mix out where you want it. The more cornstarch you use, the harder it sets. For faster, smoother setting, add a couple of drops of glycerine. You can also use just the glycerine, but it take longer to set. The dishsoap molds work, but don't hold up well. I hope this helps!

@@CancunManny I know that when I buy silicone for this I am careful to buy Silicone Type 1. It has a strong smell of vinegar (the acid you mention) although I think it is actually ureic acid. Silicone Type 2 doesn’t have that strong vinegar smell. There is also a $3-4 a tube difference in price. I get my Silicone Type 1 on Amazon for about $4.50 a 10 oz. tube.

The cornstarch one is supposed to be stirred until it becomes firm and THEN use hands to knead it. Also, you are supposed to add acrylic paint because it has a water base which causes the correct silicone to harden, like the soapy water. If you have the wrong type of silicone (II) it is not quite going to work. Silicone l is the correct type. It smells like vinegar when curing. Burns the nose a bit.

I have had quite a bit of success with this method (number 3) and recommend. Stirring it until it starts to firm is a good point it has a work time that makes it less stick as time passes. Also you can dust hands and surfaces with the corn starch to like you wewd when making dough. I usually mix it, wait a few minutes and then start to work it in to a mold

@humblehombre9904 2 года назад
The best result I’ve had is the corn starch. However, sprinkle the starch onto your surface, then the caulk. Add a sprinkle of starch onto the caulk, and begins to fold it in. When it gets sticky, dust with starch. When you can handle it, it is ready. I tried mixing with alcohol, xylene, varsol, mineral oil. The mixes never set. Absolute failure, such as your too. So thanks for your input. Nice laughter brother. It still makes me roar. Warm regards from Canada, or is it Canader. Lol. Good-day, eh?!

That silicone caulk requires contact with air to cure. You could just squeeze caulk around that figure directly. A moistened finger could smooth each layer to pack it in and remove bubbles. I have done this myself so I know. You could craft glue the figure bottom to a sheet of plastic and put the caulk on the figure directly, either out of the tube or with the soap method.

The cornstarch one is made like pasta. You make a mound of cornstarch, make a hollow in it, and add the silicon. Kneed it together, pulling the starch in until it is firm. Just like adding an egg to flour when making pasta. It works very well. Make sure you use the silicon that smells like vinegar, the other ones doesn’t work

@kimudo

I'm assuming it's been said a few dozen times by now, but the third method (cornstarch) was just done wrong. Get a disposable container, put your silicone in (silicone 1), add a few drops of water or food coloring, mix with something you don't love and will be fine with throwing away. Once you've done that, put the silicone into a large (also disposable) bowl full of corn starch and continue coating it until it's not sticky... then kneed it and recoat with cornstarch. Repeat until it's not sticky and feels like playdough. It's a recipe... and the order is important. Still, fun vid and it shows how messy things can (and will) get.

3 method is fine if you put in the same effort as the others: use a suitable container, start with a layer of cornstarch to prevent silicone from sticking to the bottom, pour the silicone on top and then add some more starch. Use a stick to start incorporating and then your hands. I tried it and it was a success from the first time. I think it's even better since the starch add volume to the final mass
@calycalyps0
@calycalyps0 3 года назад
Same it worked for me too I out down corn starch and then put the silicone on it. Cover it in cornstarch and make sure your hands/gloves are covered in corn starch. I just dabbed on it a bit and covered it again every time it would even slightly start to stick until it could take it into my hands like a puddy 🤷‍♀️ the more starch you add the harder it is and less stretchy and less makes it softer and more stretchy It's actually quite awesome to me because you can make really soft ones but also firm ones and it's cheap

I have used mineral spirits to make pourable silicone multiple times and aside from the initial smell it works great for me! The idea is to thin the silicone just long enough to cast it, then the mineral spirits evaporate leaving the dried silicone. You have to make sure that your silicone is 100% silicone, and not a mixed caulk, or it won't work, and the smell does dissipate after a few days.

The baby oil one will at least smell nice. With the cornstarch one you have to imagine you are kneading a loose bread dough with more and more flour until it doesn’t stick (yeahhh, right). The cool thing about the mineral spirit (Naphtha is the thinning solvent I have used. Don’t know if that is what you call mineral spirit) one is you can make it very runny so you can poor it. Add a little cornstarch and it will cure fast. Silicone cures by the absorption of water and the cornstarch provides the pathway for the water to migrate into the center.

I kneaded the cornstarch in, gradually and carefully, until I'd gotten a smooth, pliable dough. This has become my go-to method, and I've made a bunch of molds of antique lamp finials, antique salt and pepper shakers, and other fun old knick-knacks. :)

I loved that you try all the methods I’m afraid of. Thanks! Also, I’ve heard that if you mix the 100% silicone with 100% acetone you can make runny silicone for 3D models.

@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts were not laughing at you, but with you. I have to agree with others that have commented on this, it was pretty funny. I also loved the “I’m your father” part. Great tutorial, thank you for sharing.

I love using the dish soap recipe! The cornstarch is cool too smelly but add acrylic paint color it help. Especially if you want it more durable, solid. A bit messy im glad I was outside lol I looked like I had been baking with the Pillsbury Dough Man 🤣🤣🤣😁 but it was Fun! Thanks for the video you're the Best Steve👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤣😁

i had tried all of these methods, and others, prior to seeing this video. the mineral spirits/acetone can work as a pourable if you degas it in a vacuum chamber. the problem with it is that it will continue to offgas for a long time and ultimately this causes the mold to deform. the dish soap method works fine. be sure if you use this method to mix well and push out any air pockets. the oil works well if you dont add so much and so does the corn starch if, again, you dont add quite so much. it will be messy but works beautifully for a very tough mold. the corn starch method has a tendancy to dry very quickly and become diffucult to use but dries very strong. i occasionaly use the soap method still but most often i use the corn starch with some glycerin for a fast cure time and a more rugged mold. be careful to not over add the corn starch. a pointer is to use an wisk style mixer in a drill to mix it. cheers and good luck everyone
