Kinda sweet to see a dude who looks like a US Marine make candles lol. Thanks man, very helpful and cost effective!

Notes taken from video if this helps anyone: ▪︎2 tubes Type 1 Silicone Caulking with caulking gun. ▪︎8 oz. of Nail Polish with Acetone - might need to add more to mix until it's a runny consistency like maple syrup. ▪︎1 milk carton or something wax lined or a disposable container that will be bigger since we need 1/2 inch all around the sides when set. ▪︎Place object to mold in this case a Mason Jar - place it upside down. ▪︎Mark the back side on the disposable carton where the seam line will be. (This is also where you want to set the back of the mason jar or object you are molding). ▪︎Pour in the silicone mix then after filled to the top use a skewer to remove any air bubbles and flatten out the top. ▪︎When set cut the jar out by making a jagged edge cut on the back seam side you marked. Will be set when it's solid & rubbery - typically 12 hrs but check to he sure it's set 1st. ▪︎Now pop out the molded object after cutting the jagged edged seam line. ▪︎Make a hole in the bottom of the mold for the wick once sent. ▪︎Before putting in medium/resin/wax be sure to tape up the cut jagged side so the medium doesn't leak out. ▪︎For candle makers go thru typical steps of making a candle... ▪︎Used in video: Kentucky 143 Paraffin Pillar Wax from Kentucky Essentials.

[@snoopu2601]

This can only work for wax? Or can use plastic or aluminum in the mold?

[@heartmomma6460]

@@snoopu2601 Hmmm, good question I haven't tried aluminum or plastic. I would think so but I could not say for sure based on never trying it myself. I'd say plastic would be more likely than aluminum.

[@sandiablo360]

@@heartmomma6460 I worry about plastic because I've been able to melt plastic toy cars in acetone (I did it as a little kid)

[@kimbershark]

Thank you 🖤 I tend to forget what I've heard or read so your notes are extremely helpful 😊

[@Ginabina952]

Omg finally a video showing how to make an inexpensive silicone mold without using soapy water. After watching tons and tons of other videos this is by far the most informative. Thank you!

[@themawds8815]

100% agreed, so many videos that just seem to add unnecessary work without clear benefits. This is fantastic!

[@Moorhuehnchen]

Agreed, i just wish for metric measurements so the rest of the world does not need a calculator to fully enjoy this tutorial

[@OzyIllustrates]

@Delana Taylor Online idk where you’re buying your silicone but Walmart sells it for around $5 and the gun is $2 and you don’t need a respirator mask. You can just use a regular mask (go to your local cvs, Walgreens or krogers and get 3 free N95 masks) and maybe a fan or open a window. As for the acetone you can get that for around $5 too. You’re looking at a less than $20 material list. Not $60.

[@attainableaudio4533]

@@OzyIllustrates yes you don't NEED the respirator, as long as your doing it with ventilation, and the n95 type masks are actually only made for particles not vapor, but they may cut down on it a little, but really unless your doing making molds full time it just stings the nose a little. Also the trial version of the actual mold making kit is a not as much in volume as the caulk. For a quick short term mold it a good alternative, but the advantage of the actual mold kit is they are more durable longer term molds for longer production runs.

[@editek5992]

@Delana Taylor Online The mask and gun are reusable so in the long run it is more cost effective unless it is a one time deal making a mold, then it would be netter to just buy the silicone compound. Also it depends on the quantity used.

[@andiso3418]

NOW that's what I call, how to do a video/tutorial! Thank you so much for NOT talking to your audience as-if-we've NEVER heard of the word MOLD. I also, greatly appreciate your not only getting to the point/s, but kept it clear and very concise. Doing so made your tutorial a pleasure to listen to and very easy to follow. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[@jasonpbass]

since you used a milk carton for the outer mold you could tape it and slip it back into another milk carton to use as the mother mold for extra support.

[@avrahamkrichevsky4831]

Thanks a lot! Finally, after watching a dozen of totally worthless videos I found a simple answer to a simple question "How to liquefy utility silicone?" The answer is ACETONE! Holy Goodness! :) Thanks again and God bless You!

[@Shawq-E-Safar]

Same here. Have you tried this?

[@mariaazevedo3417]

I agree.

[@asakidesigns]

I’m with you on that 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@sherrilynnhill]

I have tried this and it did not work for me at all. I even tried alcohol all I did was make one big mess. I don’t know if there’s something I missed but I would love to be able to do this he makes it look so simple

[@quinbee_creates]

@@sherrilynnhill Did you make sure to use straight silicone? A lot of the silicones contain additives for various reasons so ensure the label says "100% silicone" or "no additives" on it. Same with the acetone -- some nail polish removers are half water so you're not getting much acetone. Try 100% acetone from a building supply or hardware store.

[@jpillardo]

This is the best tip I have ever seen for silicone mold making. I work with epoxy and have tried a few of the off the shelf overpriced options with ok results but it gets expensive, sometimes too expensive to make one off items. this is an awesome affordable option as I am asked all the time for custom shapes and pieces.

[@firestarter2793]

That was brilliantly no-nonsense instructions. Thank you for taking the time to share - it is much appreciated. Regards from UK

[@no1jrb]

Great video .... you can also slip the mold back into another milk carton to maintain the shape with out using the tape

[@craftysoutherner2023]

You had me at "fraction of the cost"! Great video!

[@louisecollet]

Wow!!!!! Thank you so much for this video 😀😀😀 just found your channel. I work with resin, and never would of thought to make my own moulds this way! I love this idea, cheaper it costs me. Cheaper it costs all !!!! Thanks again.

[@urbangrandma1092]

This video is excellent! You explained everything so we'll, I don't feel like a moron anymore. And I learned an alternative in mold making that doesn't eat up all my Dawn dishwashing liquid. And not much clean up too. So Awesome. My husband thanks you immensely. He's going to supervise. So next time he can be my trusty assistant. Thanks.

[@sropehorses]

Thank you for the diy video! I stumbled on to this video and was over joyed! Thanks for sharing.

[@jm5143]

Simply amazing !… There are a lot of things to do with silicones ! Thanks for sharing.

[@Mountaingypsytrading]

🤦‍♀️ I’ve made molds like this, but used cornstarch with the silicone... it works, but this looks soooo much cleaner of a process! Thank you!

[@fredsegarra2923]

Thank you so much. This is the first time I’ve seen acetone used to liquefy the silicone. All the other tutorials put the silicone into soapy water. Your method seems to create a more accurate mold. Thanks again.

[@Shawq-E-Safar]

Those methods don't produce 3D molds.

[@Shawq-E-Safar]

Because the silicon is too thick

[@teddyvegamora1236]

Thank you it will help me a lot! GOD Bless!

[@dchall8]

Not quite _all_ the other videos, but you're right about 99.9999% of them. They either use cornstarch or they use dish soap to make the silicone more manageable. But the GEO Sustainable channel on YT has talked about using naphtha to thin out silicone. However, he never really got into this size of a pour project like Timber Ridge, herein. If either acetone or naphtha work, then it could be there are other solvents which might work to thin out silicone caulk. The cheapest one might be 90-99% alcohol, but I've never seen anyone try it.

[@lexihauer9857]

You are a godsend. Thank you so much for this. Just what I needed ❤️. Imma try this with a resin project I’m planning.

[@jeihrochete2626]

Definitely going to try this method! Thank you for sharing 🏆

[@johnnysideasofthings3809]

Hey man your video demo of this silicone mold is the over the top best of all. And i like that you explain on detail everything. Thanks bro. There is no other video like this one on the iternet.

[@ButtPunchies]

Thanks for this!! Saved me like 40$ I appreciate this marine man. I feel like i just stepped out of candle making boot camp

[@insightbytes2136]

This is exactly what I was wanting. Most people are making more putty but I wanted something pourable

[@humblehombre9904]

I would suggest that you pour silicone in only one spot, allow it to find its own way so there are no bubbles. Usually, you pour into one corner, continually pour slowly (especially thick rubber) to prevent capturing air pockets. There are many great vids to show you this technique.

[@tesouroscriativos]

thanks for sharing that tip... also vibrating or tapping under, may help the bubbles to arise

[@dchall8]

What about pouring high so you get a thin stream by the time it hits the mold??

[@notflanders4967]

Solid tutorial, thanks. Really appreciate the acetone tip!

[@BalliBee]

Thanks Tim, this is great! And so much cheaper.... thank you for sharing this with us 🙂🤙

[@ariofsouthdakota]

Thank you sooo much for this video. I should have tried this last night on the mold I made. But will use this method from now on.

[@melodylin5058]

I was so confused why people used silicone rubber and not cheaper silicone sealant, but you answered it! THANK YOU! (He said a silicone tube is too thick so won't make an accurate mold)

[@reclaimingRAD]

Also just a tip for the rest of you perfectionist out there, the zig zag technique is great but you leave an awkward seem that will bug some of us.. but a fix for that is to stay with the zig zag technique BUT on the outside half of the silicone but as you get closer towards the inside or your object, make a line straight..I know it seems impossible just thinking about right now but once you have the razor blade and you're doing it it works out.

[@joelbaker1593]

Very good Tim thank you

The zig-zag seam is so simple, yet genius. Would have never thought about doing that.
