Morning Julie, Tip I learnt from an industrial kitchen installer... Windex is the perfect consistency to smooth silicone out with, so just spray your finger/tool and in theory, it shouldn't stick to you for hole fill etc...
Miss Julie to the rescue!!! Thank you thank you thank you! This is, hands down, the most practical tutorial ever in the history of resin tutorials. Seriously you just saved me a bucket of money!
I love all your videos and also do resin art. I've started a TH-cam channel and am trying to get it out there. I want to thank you so much for this particular video. I ordered this product and now wished I'd not thrown away a ripped jar mold. I will be getting this and am very thankful for all you do. No more bad meds and I have collected so many molds in over three years!! ✌️
Thank you a million times for sharing this! I just got my frog and lizard molds and used them once.....they both tore....and I was gentle. I'm going to use Vaseline in them the next time I make one, which will be tomorrow! I live in the U.S. and I went to Harbor Freight and bought Clear RTV Silicone Adhesive & Sealant for $5.40. I used my finger to apply it so I could feel what i was doing. It washes right off your finger. The mold is dry now and it really does dry flexible. What a cheap fix! I didn't know a product like this existed. Thank you, again. 😊
I found that Amazon sells this product, and that it's made by smooth-on. I have lots of that brand molding materials, but didn't know they made this till now. I think if I ever try it, I'll use a plastic gift card or old credit card to lay on the surface to make the top of the fill shiny and smooth. Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you for sharing. I bought two of this particular molds. These particular molds break after two or three times use. I refused to purchase another one because it would tear getting the word out of the mold. I can't blame the seller as the word is just difficult the way it looks in particular font making it great when I got glue the lights in place. Then I do a second pour. It really turns out awesome I also put a glow in the dark glitter. It is my signature to my resin pieces. But anyway I think I will buy that one word mold and give it one more go. Thank you for sharing sil proxy.
Initially I would submerge the mold in warm water to relax the silicone. If it's a flat mold I would just fill the mold with warm water. If that doesn't help try warmer water. Of course I would avoid boiling water, especially if it's a thin mold. I had a tray mold that was so misshapen I had trouble determining what it was. I filled a cookie sheet with hot, not boiling water and placed several glass measuring cups filled with hot water inside the mold for added weight. I had to empty and replace the hot water 3 times but I was successful. During warm weather placing the loaded cookie sheet on the dash of a vehicle can be beneficial. In colder months maybe opt for a strong wattage desk light or place a heating pad under the cookie sheet. The seller had rolled the mold into a hot dog shape, rolled that into a ball and secured everything with rubber bands. Totally ridiculous.
@@galady8632 thank you sweetie!! What I have is a candy dish with lid. The dish part isn’t round like it should be. I’ll definitely try the warm water.
Thank you i have to repair some to my og puffco peak rubber boot. Theres no replacements so im about to learn how to mold my own for it as a backup. Idk how its not gonna stick to the silicone body that im trying to mold looks hard to do.
this is a great video! But how do you fix a matt spot in the mold. i got new ones and notice one has a matt spot in it and i really dont want to send them back, such a pain to do so.
For Hole. Take a small piece of non stick baking paper place on filled hole and uses a flat bottom glass or something flat to smooth top, rubber roller is good as well. be gentle.
Do you know if there is a difference between silicone adhesive & silicone gkue as I can sonly find silicone glue but in the descriptions of all the silicone glues I've looked at it specifies adhering card or metal not fixing silicone moulds/mats
Plz rply my question. Pouring hot wax in silicone moulds, is there is a chance that they will damage? Plz rply. Or where I can pour wax in my moulds to not to damage them if there is going to be. Or can i use same moulds for resin art and candle making?
@Pouring Your Heart Out Hi Julie, I'm trying to find the video you mentioned here but I can't find it. I have a couple of molds that need to be shinier. Can I coat the bottom (top) with silicone?

So happy you commented about the Windex. I keep some on hand and have ordered the product that July posted. ✌️
Oh btw I use an alcohol wipe wrapped around my finger to wipe away excess Loctite
You could spray windex onto a piece of cellophane to level it off and get a really smooth finish I think lol
Miss Julie to the rescue!!! Thank you thank you thank you! This is, hands down, the most practical tutorial ever in the history of resin tutorials. Seriously you just saved me a bucket of money!
so cute, like your comment 🌸🌸
Wow, I wish I’d known this before I threw away my hundred dollar mold a while back! Thank you for your channel!
Oh no!!!! I cant imagine!!! So sorry you lost your mold. Especially an expensive one like that.
Oh my goodness! Thank you for chopping up your moulds for us! Might be easier if you use a wider tip to flatten it out.😊

Thank you, Julie! I have a mold that needs repair and I've just put it aside, unsure of what to do 😊
Thanks, Julie! Always looking out for us, giving us tips and tricks! Hope you had a simply wonderful Christmas!
I'm so glad you made this video! I had no idea molds could be repaired!!
You can buy this on Amazon. I just bought some. Thank you Julie for you and your channel. Learn something new with every video
Dang Julie! You channel is amazing! This was a must do show for us crazy resin people. ❤

Thanks for that! Good to know there is something out there that will fix a torn mold. You can't even see where the cut was.
Thanks Julie for sharing your tips and tricks
Great video, Julie! Thank you so much for the demo! ❤😊
Hello Miss Julie, thank you so much for sharing this!! I will definitely try this. One of my silicone molds that I have damaged to. Thank you again!!!

Julie, I believe a metal spatula like one for plastering would be the best for smoothing the filling of a hole.
Like a art palette knife maybe
You are so wonderful, sharing these tips with us,thank you
In the US there’s Loctite brand Clear Silicone waterproof sealant, that’s what i use
Great idea and I also looked the product up on Amazon and they do have just letting you know.

Thank you so much for this!
It is available in the USA on Amazon
Thanks Barb! I found it. 🙂👋
In the US we can get it on Amazon thank you for this video Wendy
I bet that you could use some soapy water on your tools or fingertip and it would just smooth it perfectly. Great idea for video Julie!
This exact product is on Amazon. I have it in my cart already. 😊
For the bottom hole, could you use the same technique you used to make your dull moulds look shiny again?
Thank you so much for the valuable tip 🥰🤗💝🌷
Thank you this is very helpful to me
Thank you for sharing. Really good to know!
this is a great video! But how do you fix a matt spot in the mold. i got new ones and notice one has a matt spot in it and i really dont want to send them back, such a pain to do so.
Thank you lovely Julie
Thanks for the tip
For Hole. Take a small piece of non stick baking paper place on filled hole and uses a flat bottom glass or something flat to smooth top, rubber roller is good as well. be gentle.
Great tip thank you
Wonder if you can make little molds out of this stuff?
THANK YOU!!!
Do you know if there is a difference between silicone adhesive & silicone gkue as I can sonly find silicone glue but in the descriptions of all the silicone glues I've looked at it specifies adhering card or metal not fixing silicone moulds/mats
Hi what do we do with a twisted and shapeless silicon mould can that be repaired
If you put a piece of plastic over it, it will come out smooth and shiny
is this non toxic after it dries can I touch it?
Can you show the mold being used to cast and then demold?
Just googled it. Sil poxy is available on Amazon in the US.
Plz rply my question. Pouring hot wax in silicone moulds, is there is a chance that they will damage? Plz rply. Or where I can pour wax in my moulds to not to damage them if there is going to be. Or can i use same moulds for resin art and candle making?
Just curious, is the Sil-Poxy food safe?
Hi Julie, would the normal silicone not work? The one like you used to start a coaster mold a few videos back?
It's too runny and takes too long to cure
The US amazon sells sil-poxy
How do I fix a bent silicone mold back into its original place?
Why do some silicone molds turn yellow?
Julie, the_ have this stuff on Amazon for the US..
Wow so nice ♥️ beautiful 😍 lovely
Amazon has it and other products for the US.
How long do the molds last ?
Depends how many times they are used
Great info. As you said, I'm sure we all have fused our resin, lol.
Can I find Silicreate on amazon?
It's sil-poxy
Very interesting. Can you make dull molds shiny? If so can you show us?
Yes, I have a video on that too
@Pouring Your Heart Out Hi Julie, I'm trying to find the video you mentioned here but I can't find it. I have a couple of molds that need to be shinier. Can I coat the bottom (top) with silicone?
Yes, you can! In fact, that's how it's done. Just keep the layer thin. 😊
@Fairyspun Fibers Thank you so much! I'm assuming you can directly pour it in and there is no prep work, awesome!
@Fairyspun Fibers Woohoo! It worked!
Is it true that alcohol will remove bubbles
Surface bubbles, yes.
90%
Mine mold be like in two pieces
What to do with it
Why couldn’t you just pour a thin layer of silicone when you mix it up to make your molds?
