Silicone Mold Fail

[@PossumPityParty]

I quit trying 'cheap' methods and just using liquid silicone *rubber* from Smoothon. Making the mold is only 1/4 of the job, I can't waste time trying too many methods. I really like this way. Much easier. Molds wear out after 10 uses or so depending on the detail and shape.

hope you start to feel a bit better soon I live in UK I'm housebound and the only thing that helped is to craft like hell it helps take your mind of stuff anyway hope your feeling better soon love your tutorials x

[@debrasouther9800]

you didn't add corn starch or powder. that is the recipe that works.

The ge silicone II the red and gold label works better and I find squirting in my hand underwater, then make a patty, then slap it on top of the item. Keep your hands wet, I find it will always stick if my hands don’t have soap on them. The cornstarch and paint make a brittle mold.

You can also make molds of polymer clay, or....liquid gel, like Fimo or Sculpey ("TLS"), those are flexible too. Your original has to be baked in the mold, but that is not a problem with resin of course. I hope this helps..!

I use cornstarch it works great for me. I use the white silicone caulking.

I think I love your "fail" videos as much as your successes. You make me smile except for the part where you are not good.

[@1962dkd]

and of course it has to be "DAWN"!!!

He comprendido perfectamente las instrucciones, pero no he entendido si realmente ha funcionado o no???? me cuesta entender un poco su idioma, pero creo que finalmente no ha salido bien.

I do have a way to mold but you have to use liquid polymer clay. there is a girl from Beads friends and she has a video of how to use the liquid polymer clay to make cabochon molds

[@tsummerlee]

I'll look for the video. :)

[@Ysa632]

I'm sorry I couldn't look it up for you it's been a while but it really works well and I use it a lot. Keep smile and you're doing a great job!

[@nancypeterson6377]

Works well for me-first time I tried it

[@mercedesoconnor9110]

if it helps i make my moulds with silcone and mix it with baby powder i found a video on here and it worked

[@knittingandthings]

Yes that works for me as well!

[@TheWiseMagpie1]

That works perfectly for me too!

[@gypsybarn7860]

I've noticed most of the fail videos are ising the GE 100% silicone and they fail. That's also what I used and 4 days later it's still a goey mess. Soooo... no GE silicone I think. I noticed the ones that work ised an Ace Brand. Im trying that next lol.

[@ijustrealllylikecats]

GE works just fine for me 💁🏻‍♀️

[@gailrod2096]

You like saying that word caulk.... :)

[@TheWiseMagpie1]

Hi Theresa! You could try watching Sarah Milroy-Spicey Pinecone on You Tube. She has a few very clear tutorials about these molds. I hope you feel better soon (considering..of course!) Big hug from Holland!!XOX

[@LaunaStacey]

I can't use that stuff it smells so bad makes me feel sick

[@gailrod2096]

At 10:20 on the video I was laughing too hard...you are so damn funny!

[@RianShafer]

That's awesome! We all have fails and it feels just like this. Thanks for sharing the ugly truth.

[@yilin528]

My didn’t work too and I am so mad.

[@reymed1670]

[@kevkristy]
