3 RARE Squishy Making Materials!

[@Izzy-cp8yt]

8:36 when working with silicone on silicone, you have to use a mold release agent to prevent sticking (like you had). Silicone sticks to virtually nothing, but silicone will stick to silicone VERY easily.

Air cures the tire sealant. That's how it dries after putting it in a tire. As you ride, the tire spins, slinging the sealant all around the inside of the tire, when there's a leak, some of the sealant leaks out of the hole and will solidify in time as it comes in contact with the air. :)

[@drawnquartered3588]

Hello, little bit of information from someone who's done a degree having worked with these for art purposes. Dental alginate, which you can usually mix in different strengths too, (right up to very liquidy states that cure over 15 mins) is great for small, and inexpensive disposable mold-making as the alginate begins to degrade after a day (it usually goes mushy rather than hard) It can be found pretty cheap and is great for lifecasting (making a mold of a face/part of body) It's usually found as a green powder form that you mix with water. Art supply shops rarely sometimes carry it (uk) Because it's made of seaweed, it also has a very low chance of someone being allergic to it. Also biodegradable. In the last experiment the solution did not cure because Silicone will not cure in the presence of latex. Water content in low doses usually forms bubbles in silicone or floats to the top, depending on consistency. Adding water to latex will just make it cure slower because latex sets when exposed to air, whereas silicone reacts chemically by mixing part A and B. The saying goes that nothing will stick to silicone but silicone! Usually you would wear a ventilator and gloves to mix silicone parts as it's not good for you it may not be safe to play with that mushy uncured one.

[@maqaroon]

Thank you so much for that detailed information!! Yes, I had a feeling that latex and silicone weren't supposed to be mixed and also handling it without gloves wasn't the best idea. I only touched it for the few seconds shown on video and then disposed it all. I'm curious if you could help with a question about the Elmer's Squishies? I strongly suspect that it's the same thing as the industrial type silicone, but how can companies market 2 part silicone as safe for kids? Obviously the final piece is safe assuming it cured correctly, but in your opinion, what is the potential risk of letting kids play with uncured silicone without telling them what the ingredient actually is?

[@thatweirdofromnextdoor420]

@@maqaroonthe companies marketing advanced crafts to little kids reminds me of those little food things that make you use uv resin which can be really complicated and i can see the argument that parents should just watch their kids and do it with them i kinda think it’s packaging is a little deceiving if you don’t look at it closely it looks just like those mini shop fake grocery toys that are just toys not crafts like i saw them at target right across from the baby dolls 💀

[@Katekate4023]

Hi! I’m a Dental assistant and I work with the alginate material everyday! I would try to mix it a little more water so the material can flow into the mold and try to use the coldest water that you can to mix the powder. It sets up slower the colder the water is which will give you more time to pour up. You want the ratio to look like thick pancake mix. It will still set up the same way

I assume what makes the tire sealant cure is the water evaporating, which would explain why nothing happened with the quantity used here. As for mixing it into the silicone, yeah, I'd say the water was the issue here as well, seeing as the two don't really mix. Though it could be interesting to see what would happen if you left the sealant to set for a very long time until basically all the water is gone.

[@maqaroon]

Yes I was wondering how the sealant can work inside a tyre but not dry in the air. I'm guessing the friction and movement helps to spread it into a very thin layer and causes the liquid to evaporate quickly. Just leaving it out in the air doesn't do anything 😬

[@WingedLaguun]

@@maqaroon hello! I’m not sure if you will see this comment, as this video is (somewhat) pretty old. As someone who has tubeless tires, I thought that I could explain why it didn’t solidify. When you get a flat tire, the hole is usually extremely tiny. The smallest amount of sealant is needed to patch up the hole. Meanwhile, if you get a large hole or gash in the tire, the sealant will not work. This is because sealant was designed to have a large longevity in the tire, while also being able to patch up any small holes. I’ve spilled sealant on the floor in my garage, and small specks dries up within seconds, while the larger puddles stayed wet, even after hours. Sealant was not designed to have a large quantity to be exposed to air.

[@Firecracker119]

the dental paste curing so fast makes sense when you consider its intended use. you wouldnt want to be getting teeth impressions done and have to sit there for an hour waiting for them to solidify.

[@Ame-Amor]

the fact that you still painted a face on the latex sealant squishy shows your dedication.

[@cloverhunter]

You can buy something called deader to add to industrial silicone to give it a softer texture. This is often used in special effects to get the silicone to more closely mimic skin texture. It also bulks it out to reduce the cost further!

[@maqaroon]

Thank you so much for this tip!!! I found some and my next video is all about using it to make silicone softer 😄

You can add more water than stated to the dental alginate to get a slightly longer working time and a more liquid texture. But yeah, its going to go all hard and powdery over time. There are also dental grade silicone pastes, which you might be interested in for mould making or squishy experiments

Dental paste = alginate. It’s used to create molds for making casts. Technique is required to mix it properly to minimize bubbles, make it set faster or slow down the process, etc. It will dry out eventually. It’s recommended to wear a mask so you don’t inhale the particles.

[@ruznaarshadh9390]

11:59 I love the second one 😊❤

[@lls1338]

Why don't you use mold release sprays on your molds before pouring in your squishy material? Would it affect the squishy? Is it toxic? Have you tried hearing aid mold material? I have worn hearing aids since a child. It's a 2 part paste that you squeeze into the ear with a syringe. You could probably do really detailed molds that way, but the end result is like a bouncy ball, not a squishy. Still fun, though! ❤

[@BethRazz]

Omg that's so cool you have a how to draw book out! ❤

[@laurao6314]

I'm not sure if it's exactly the same as the dental paste but alginate is often used by artists to make molds of body parts, so it might work better for a mold material rather then the molded material!

Joanna! I have a method i use for making clear, glittery squishies in the microwave with a perfect mochi texture that Id love to see utilized in a video! It makes the most aesthetic peices! You just have to buy either some clear glitter squishies or some clear squishy cubes if you want a totally clear peice (ill warn you, they are a bit harder to find than the glitter squishies but totally worth it!) Cut off any paint to preserve clarity and melt them down! You can even add some extra, loose glitter in before pouring them into the mold if youre quick enough! Just wanted to share this with you because i know you love clear, glittery aesthetic things! Let me know if you see this comment because id love this method to be used in a video!❤

Thank you so much for recommending that about polymer clay. I have so much from like a year ago that I haven't even opened yet.😬

If you have polymer clay that’s gone hard, it’s still possible to soften it for use. Either by handling it (using a pasta machine will help save your hands) and/or adding a few drops of isopropyl/rubbing alcohol at a time to soften it. There is clay softener on the market but honestly alcohol is cheaper and works just as well. I’ve had polymer clays from years that I was able to soften.
