Very detailed instructions. Thank you.

I would like to make a mold of a foam statue it is about 12" x 18". Would i use this method or another. Sorry for the newb question

That's the worst video ever

Nobody ever mentions coverage - ie, how much solvent is needed for a tube of silicone sealant, and how many square feet of canvas will this solution treat?

could you explain how ammonia dissolves the casein and forms polymere chains?

This is gold. Thank you

Am I the only one hearing the screams in background?!?!

If you put a little bit of dish soap on your finger after you put it in the crack, you can wipe your finger over it to smooth it down without it sticking to your finger at all. You can still do the same thing with water but dish soap works better

Probably using a little sandpaper on the rubber to rough it up would help it stick too

They make silicone spray. I just bought some but I realize it's not what I need for my project so I'm wondering what else I can do with it. I think the spray would work better than the tube. Maybe

I would think the 24 hours of electricity with the blender would negate the green aspect of the plan, not to mention no blender will last long with that use so into the landfill. I think the use of the floor wax would be the more sustainable of the two.

VM&P Naptha is widely available in the USA. It is not banned in most States. Wear proper safety gear when handling it, and don't just slosh it around. Be smart.

It's not banned in the UK. I have just bought 5 litres of naphtha for my camping stove and Zippos.

Hi😊 can I use this for my diy beeswax?

Haven't tested with silicone yet but an overlooked alt to naphtha is plain kerosene. It's actually less volatile so a bit safer to use and store. Use it regularly as a cleaning solvent for tar and adhesive residue.

Hmmm

would it not work better if you put the corn starch in first?

Great content. A lot of love to you from the Beautiful Islands of Trinidad and Tobago 💞

You said in the video there were more sustainable chemicals than formaldehyde and that you might suggest some alternatives, but I don’t see a reference to same in the comments.

Could you show how to make a clay based paint (ie Debi's Design Diary)? "Furniture Artists" seem to love this paint, as It has less than 9 ingredients, no VOC's, all natural and yet it's SO expensive to buy in the store. 🖌️🎨💰 Thank you so much.

Thank you so much excellent video explanation

What temperature suitable for the heating process?

distil gasoline, first 50% is near naphta. and cheaper. or streight gasoline if you don't mind color and smell. two bottle and a pipe. one hot, one cold.

Alrighty, so anyone in NZ or AUS. Shellite is the go. I tried White Spirits and whilst it thins the silicone fine, Shellite just doesn't have nearly the odour... Also, make sure you're using 100% silicone. I tried being cheap and just got silicone sealant and it must've had an additive that just didn't let it cure for ages.

It is like a lesson at school...🥰😍🤩that I miss a lot!!! So thank you not only for the information but for the special feeling again!

This is great! i have used this process and have had a lot of success. Thank you.

Isn’t soy filled with pesticides it is totally filled with chemicals

can i add fish attractant scent to it??

Has anyone tried to make this at home? I'm wondering how well the powder sticks to paper (using glycerin, or glycerin & ink, or versamark), and also whether the powder melts and becomes shiny? I think it might, but I was sure from seeing it still damp on the white tiles. Thank you.

I just found Martins videos and I'm sad to find out he has passed. Does anyone have more info on this type of build? I want to build a panel with his design but can't find anything on it. What is the reflector material he used? Is there an optimal shape and size for the reflector? I hope this hasn't been lost.

OKY-DOKY!! Great tips and technique. :D

My uncle did car painting & has different solvents - Maybe a mixture of certain ones will be and alternative.

So I can use dawn instead of caster oil and alcohol? That would bring my cost down even lower.

Great! Can Thinner be used?

I arrived here after wondering if I could DIY-fix a tiny tear in my favorite faux-leather black ankle boots by using "patch" material with an adhesive (strong and flexible) -- which soon led me to ponder the possibility of sealing the boot-seams with silicone while I was at it. Does that make sense? I'm talking about creating a fine, thin layer of sealant all the way around -- from toe to heel-base -- that bonds the sole to the material (making it seem...dare I say ... seamless?). At first glance, these boots didn't seem like they'd last all that long, but but I got quite bit of mileage out of them -- 5 years -- before the damage came (it was carelessness in the last year that did it, sadly; as with relationships, even the really good ones, we all have a tendancy to care a little less than we should the longer we're in them🙂). But I love these boots enough to blather on about them to strangers while also asking for any feedback that may get me closer to acheiving my goal. I noticed that someone suggested a "spray on" ("air brush") approach to silicone that would achieve the result I'm after. Does anyone know if there's a product out there like that? I've searched but haven't found anything yet. I don't relish fighting with a caulking gun to get a thin coating of silicone. I've used guns for caulking bathtubs and they're no fun. This job requires something more delicate, where you can use your hands to mold it in place ...or something like that. Any thoughts, suggestions, etcetera, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and my apologies for the long post!

We produced one book shape candle for one customer, size around 19*13*4cm，weighs around 800g, the lab test 10° tip over test and can not pass, since it's tall and thin, could you kindly advise what kind of support can be added to make it pass the test, thanks in advance for your help.

Embossing powder is ground plastic. I've messed with it many times. When the powder is heated, it melts and sticks to whatever surface you are using. I use vegetable glycerin for the base for it to adhere too.

Simply mix silicone and cornstarch with hand ....

U wont belive but ur video gave me idea.i belive i can fix silicone for mould as u did in tnat ziplovk and thrn i can put that silicone on my object i want to mould.thank u so much.u have no idea how long im breaking my head and how much material i trown away.ty

Would the addition of urea make it more waterproof as shown in your casein glue demonstration?

This video is baffling on the whole as there's no context for what you're doing and how you're doing it. If the stated aim of your channel is to be more sustainable, using silicone and petroleum based fuels for experiments hardly seems sustainable or ecologically sensible. Silicone might be easily obtainable but is hardly ecologically sound, it cannot be easily recycled or recovered. Waterproofing fabrics? Why not use sustainably available plant based waxes instead?

I wished my name was Elizabeth. She was very lucky. I appreciate the video. I can’t afford embossing powders and I love the idea of making any color I want for Penny’s on the dollar. Thank you for the video!

I use windex as a release agent for PETG on my 3d printing build plate. Have you tried that instead of dawn?

What a deceptive thumbnail ! It's available pretty much everywhere BUT California as of june 2024 ! I just bought some at home Depot !

Can one accellerate the absorption of water by immersing the mold in a basin of water and can immersion after the skin forme substitute for the use of the accellerant?

Thank you for such an in depth video! I was wondering about how candles were made and became curious. I appreciate the time you took to make this.

Great ,detailed explanations. Thank you. Would it be possible to pour the pouring silicone into a deep shape to make a 3 D dog??? Thank you

Bringing banned, now what? Understand we live in America, not Russia an grow some weight between our legs!

I can't stand videos with no words

Thank you so much! Until now, I’ve barely received any information on how to properly conduct a burning test, and your explanation is very helpful. My question might be a bit silly, but I was wondering if there are any differences in Europe regarding the criteria you mention for a proper test, or if it’s something that should be followed internationally (I live in Spain). I’ve read about the two glass brands you recommend, and if you know of any European ones, I’d love to hear about them. Thanks again!
