All that messing about with wasting stuff ,cost more that way, just go out and buy some moulds

Just Like the music Load of Rubish

What a shitty job. Not even an sprinkle of mold release, WAY too thin. 2 thumbs down.

Ive been making silicone caulk molds since 1981. Push it into the pattern very carefully to push out any bubbles and dab it with a wet paper towel to capture details and shape. I've had perfect results every time. Wax your pattern with Johnson's paste wax. Heat it with a hair dryer and, after cooling, brush with a fine paint brush. Always make a plaster mother mold around it to retain the shape. This is a very simplified explanation. Michael

If you have a kitchen vacuum sealing machine with the external attachment you can use that to help with bubbles. The vacuum pulls the bubbles to the top. There are plastic bowls available that have the fitting for vac attachment

Acetone like to eat things

I soo must add how much I LOVE & LEARN from reading comments❣️💘❣️ I thank everyone who leaves they're valuable knowledge, so to speak, "paying it forward"!!! Stay well n stay safe all ❣️🙏❣️

My reply to another comment that may help others: There might b different kinds of mold release agents and it also likely depends on WHAT type of material you're making the mold from(glass, plastic☹️, clay, smooth, rough, porous... etc)!! For my project of attempting to replicate a 4"x5"x6" epoxied(or ?) concrete/plaster of paris(?)(it's heavy!) waterfall top! I plan to use window plastic that will "shrink" around the piece, then coat that with Vaseline. 🙏🤞🙏 Another vid stated that acetone will evaporate during curing process, leaving just the silicone. Hopefully, if too much acetone is used, it will still cure & b fine, just might take longer 🤞🤞🤞 It also stated to POUR A & S mix SLOWLY, alleviating many/most/all? air bubbles❣️ Adding acetone just helps silicone to spread more easily, less chance of bubbles, slip into more crevices that might otherwise get missed, plus a another viewer mentioned, likely more detail obtained❣️❣️❣️ That said, I'm still nervous! I do wonder(if the window plastic tears) if there would be any acetone damage to the fountain top, so will need to apply some acetone to an inconspicuous area to test! 🙏🤞🙏

At 1st I got the dislike button(re video, by itself!), then decided to see if there was written info below video. Thankfully, there was and as it's not everything I need for my approx 4"x5"x6" mold making project, it's helpful, so I changed to "like". Would be MOST beneficial for viewers if written info were IN the video, perhaps in the beginning, which would help viewers understand what's happening ...as it unfolds! Stay well n stay safe❣️🙏❣️

That music sent me to the looney bin.

very helpfull. thank you !

what is the good mix proportion??? thanks for help!

The only downside to using acetone is it has the possibility of melting plastic when you're pouring the mold, also your molds were not thick enough and you should have put some Vaseline on top of what you were trying to mold to help them be released easier

Why acetone? Silicone is not a plastic,( and acetone poison) silicone does harden in response to water, does the acetone really do anything or is this just imaginative result? Seems to me all the acetone does is evaporate out very slowly...

For some who is new, talking or narrating would have helped significantly.

Great idea thanks for sharing

Never search TH-cam for how to make a silicone penis.

Here’s a piece of advice to go with that if you’re going to mold something you need to put a mold release on the object that your molding like some kind of oil or mold release

Could you point at the 100% acetone any longer 😂🤣😂

Rubbish

That is hyper irritating!

It dose work if you have brain, you dont use foil for a start and you dont know everthing

well, I learned what not to do. LOL Thanks!

Have you tried equal amounts of acetone to silicone 1 and silicone 2? Thanks

I like your video I find it very helpful 🙂 keep doing your things.👍

You can use cooking oil spray as an mold release

That was pretty cool

I came here after watching your silicone video, hoping to learn more about you. I hope you are still doing this channel...which other channels are yours? I do fashion, but I only do that to make my long-distance sister happy, and she has finally said she'd forgive me if I left it to do my art projects. My favorite subject i wood turning. But that's irreverent. All I meant to say is I wanted to follow your creativity, but this channel seems like you moved on...am I wrong?

I've always made molds with just straight silicone, so I was curious why the need for acetone....but now I think maybe because it thins it to capture fine details that a thicker silicone would not be able to outline? For your next mold project, use a smear of hotglue under the subject , adhering it temporarily to the surface of your casing, that way silicone won't leak under it and offset the clean lines of the mold. I really liked your video. It has me thinking, which is what makes a great show!

good vid i found this guy im testing his tonight th-cam.com/video/E_IOqxds130/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=GEOsustainable

The reason everyone is searching for these types of videos is because Smooth-On charges $32.00 per "sampler kit" for a two-part mix, that leaves at least $5.00 worth of the goop stuck, coated on the insides of the containers it comes in. .. ( 2.8 lbs. / 1.27 kg. costing $50.00 bucks or more by the time you've paid for shipping.) .. You can get it slightly cheaper in some craft stores or through Amazon, but unless you go directly to Smooth-On, you run the high risk of buying an aged kit with Part "A" already turning into un-mixable rubber. .. Sadly, nearly EVERY demonstration I've seen across the board on you tube has such precise measuring units as "Some", "A dash of" "a little bit of" or "add" followed by the name (Cornstarch, Naptha, bucket of soap suds.) .. Thank you for being one of the only TH-cam videos I've seen so far that uses acetone. The spoon scoops into the foil molds shows your mixed result to be roughly the viscosity of what folks could really use as a mold making substitute for the OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive Smooth-On versions. Thank you for that too. .. If you ever end up with an actual working formula. Please consider adding weights, or measurements to this video. That would be ACE! ..

You have to apply a release agent to the pieces .

Whats the name of the song? Thank you!

I can't even. I wish I knew WTF was going on and the music ...omg.

So I made the molds but my resin comes out sticky and won’t harden with the home made molds, am I doing something wrong, none of my other molds do this

Release agent applied to items would have helped remove them from the molds a lot easier

Put on some lube before pouring!

Thanks you have page facebook ?

vaseline on th object would be better ;)

Thanks for demo,just wish to know type 1 or 2,their differences,which is better? Also,if molding something plastic would acetone eat that or is it busy softening the silicone? Btw the mild release agent people speak of is silicone,so it wouldn't help a bit,no need to yours released just fine. Thanks again

Thanks for the research! Just what I was hoping to find, to cut through the spotty info that abounds. I'm going to try 4oz acetone with 10oz silicone 2 (1 tube) based on another video that seemed successful.

Which one was the better option?

mold release.

Too thin

Hello, nice video!!! I have a question ( i don't speak English but i'll try my best :p) What is the diference between type 1 and 2 silicone? I mean, if i wanna buy another trademark of silicone that dont say the type, what it must to say to know if is type 1 or 2??

If you had put a release agent on the objects, not used tin foil , stuck the items to the surface. This would of worked

I need to make a gallon of this stuff. Can you get it about the thickness of syrup

Pretty good. This was what I was looking for, a comparison of a couple different ways. If you expanded on this a bit I bet you could get some pretty decent views. I would suggest -Darker background, the silicone blended with the white table a bit. -Do several stages of each --Type 1: No acetone --Type 1: 1/4 ratio --Type 1: 1/2 ratio --Type 1: 3/4 ratio --Type 1: 1/1 ratio --Type 2: same ratios as #1 -Maybe have a notecard or something you can set them next to so it's easy to see which is which -Show properties like you did where you stuck it to your hand. That's what I was looking for, how soft it is, how flexible, etc. -Pick which one you would recommend -Make the title something like "Comparing silicone and acetone mixtures for DIY mold making at home" or something. Keep up the good work! This video convinced me to use this method.

Nice video! 👍🏼👍🏼
