I am so relieved you use the proper PPE when using resin. There are horror stories out there from people having reactions that range anywhere from rashes to serious respiratory difficulties. Ventilation, nitrile gloves, and a respirator are a must.
Most definitely Diana, many thanks
I’m going through this now
@@confidentqueen7259 I’m sorry.
@@confidentqueen7259 do you mean problems to do with resin? 🤗
I've used polyester resins the bad smelly stuff since 1979. At the beginning I was silly no mask etc. But back then no books. No video's. And professionals did not want to help you. So I soldiered on and taught myself and learned everything myself and more. Then professionals started to ask me questions and I got my revenge and gave them the same answers they did not give me. But it's different today. We do help each other to a certain degree. Back to mould making. Fill the area with some rice and pour it into a cup and waigh it that will tell you how much silicone you need to fill the mould. Once you make the piece you can fill the mould area with rice. Again that will let you know how much resin you need to fill the moulds. I'd like to add I had no health issues with resin. Now we know more about using it safely follow the rules. Stay safe
As a super beginner I must say this is one of the BEST tutorials I've found to create what I'm searching for. Thank you so much!!!!
Wonderful of you to say thank you 😁 Happy crafting ❤️
I could listen to you all day long. So calm, so confident and mostly self assuring that even I can do this. thank you so much for your knowledge!!! Love the egg cups!
Thank you, that’s really lovely of you 🥰
Your voice is an angel talking, just loved this!
Aw thank you 😊
I have a gadget addiction my husband calls me gadget girl like its my super power. You are living my dream life. Subscribed and like and now need to binge watch.
😂 amazing, there’s worse things 😂 I’m currently playing with some new gadgets and loving it, I have a cute handheld drill right now 😍 thank you and enjoy 💜
Your egg cups came out so cute! And that little bunny is so adorable! 👏🏻😁
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for sharing this. I had the casting kit, just needed to understand the setup. Your instructions were perfect! I didn't have that lovely gadget to hold the silicone but I had building blocks. Again, thanks for sharing.
Wonderful, I hope your projects have gone well, enjoy 😊 thank you
They are adorable, I thought would be great for Easter.
Yes most definitely, and I’ll be making some more for Easter gifts ❤️
I just can't help but give at least a thumbs up because of all the resourceful tutorial and supplies. 1st video I watched and as a hobbiest already feel like i'm ready to start conquering molds. Thx. J
Definitely worth exploring the world of molds, I’m just filming some more right now for another video, thanks, happy hobbying 😁😊
Excellent! Clear and concise explanations - thanks!
Thank you, happy to read that 😁
Great tip on weight vs. volume and heat to help with bubbles.
Glad you found useful, I’m in the middle of filming lots more silicone mold projects, thanks 😊
thanks so much! very helpful
Thank you, I have a few new silicone videos here : th-cam.com/video/Tw0qalse9Jw/w-d-xo.html
You are so amazing with your wonderful gadgets. Wow
Thank you, all a lot of fun 😊
You are branching out from your air dry clay for sure! Nice work Sarah! 💗
Always doing lots of crafting…any form, I will always keep coming back to air dry clay on my channel though 😊 thank you ❤️
Excellent video, and really useful, thank you very much 😀
Glad it was helpful, thank you 😊
Its amazing how your silicon molds don't stick and removal seems easy..thanks fir sharing
they just have to be really sealed with varnish. This is a great kit: amzn.to/3VBPEGA
Awesome ❤ I’ve not tried making a mould yet but have the stuff lol ❤
Thank you, super, I’m currently experimenting with more moulding, with this one you need to make sure the clay is sealed 100%. Enjoy, happy creating 🤍
I don't know if I will do this but it was really fun to watch. I love all craft gadgets. I'm eying up a 3d printer. Several years ago when my nephew got one I was in awe.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed, 3D printers just offer so many possibilities, my brains a frazzle thinking of them all sometimes 😂❤️
I am excited to see what you can do with resin. I’ve just started using it and made Christmas decorations using resin.
Wonderful, thank you, next weeks video is air dry clay and resin
@@RedRockingBird Ooooh. 👏🏻👏🏻
Finally on the best part of youtube..🎉
Good to know and happy to have you over here, thank you 😊
Thank you for sharing how to make selicon moldy and using resin
You’re welcome, thanks for watching 😊
Brilliant. An eye opener…..Many thanks…subscribed🤗🤗
Aw thanks 😊 I have filmed some more silicone videos so lots more coming soon
And WELCOME
Thank you for this 😊
You’re welcome, thank you for watching ⭐️
Thanks for this Sarah, I really like that mould from LetsResin so may well invest in one.
Take care Sarah.
Cheers, Huw
Nice to be able to reuse this over and over with different sizes, hopefully I’ll find some other uses for it too , thanks 😊

I'm new to resin and this was very interesting thank
Resin opens up a whole new world of possibilities, thanks for watching 😊
It may have been said, but a resin 3-d printer can create insanely detailed prints that would yield better moulds. They are of such resolution that the layer lines are invisible.
Thank you for adding this, yes true, I only have FDM 3D printers currently, but I have a friend that has 3D printed me some resin models, so busy practicing moulding these for another video, all great fun. What do you make?
Wonderful
Thank you 😊
🎉Thanks for sharing this great video! I liked that you showed the boo-boo . It helps us to understand what can go wrong. 😊
Thanks, good to know, more silicone mold making coming soon in my channel too 😊
Thank you for sharing your technique and suggestions. My wife and I am thinking to learn how to make mold those we would can then use for unique Resin work. To buy them anywhere are expensive especially for beginners, so we are thinking to make our own molds instead of keep buying when we want to create something unique for putting in Gift box and in Christmas Sock for the grand kids. I believe, “Our World is a Shared Experience”… So, thanks again…
Most definitely, so nice to make something unique, I couldn’t agree more, enjoy and best of luck
@@RedRockingBird Thank you...
I am trying out silicone to replicate wax models for jewelry work. Your tutorial was so nice and helpful, thank you! 🙂
Good to hear thank you and best of luck with your projects ❤️😊
Ai o voce tare placuta!
Thank you ❤️
You are a life safer!!! i wanted to mold my air das clay .. for a long time.. tho i did seal it with a strong crystal waterproof sealant
If we’ll sealed it should work, I did another video where I did this
Ready when you are! I also want to end with a shiny surface so any tips are appreciated!
Currently trying to print with ABS to solve this, but finding it a bit tricky ❤️
Thank you, lovely tutorial as always 😊 Can you please let me know where you bought the green tape you used on the bottom of the mold housing please?
I think its just normal tape
you can use normal wide cellotape but it's tape from here amzn.to/3TP60vp scroll down to essential items.
Hello! Thank you for sharing the videos, do you use different kind of resin for the mold and the one you in the mold? what are the differences?
Hi, the mold is made from silicone rubber, then once cured can be used for casting resin ❤️
This was awesome. Also very peaceful voice makes it very easy to understand and quite therapeutic. I had no idea where to start when trying to start my first resin mold.
Thank you, that's lovely, enjoy your craft time ❤
This video is wonderful. I just got my kit in the mail. Am I correcting in seeing that A and B are used to both made the molds and the models?
No, A and B are mixed together so that the silicone rubber cures, (then you fill mold with resin or similar, not silicone) happy crafting
Thanks for the video! Could the original object for making the silicone mold be made from ceramic? Or would this be too porous?
A glazed ceramic yes, but I’ve not tried unglazed, I would image it wouldn’t work so well, but you could coat the ceramic in something like petroleum jelly I would imagine although I have not tried that yet either. I do love to experiment, thanks for watching and best of luck ❤️
Thank you for your videos really enjoy. What kind of mask do you wear doing this plz
Thank you, one that eliminates gasses too so you can’t smell anything at all when wearing, let me see if I can find the link
Really like your videos, they are very interesting and informative. Regarding the silicone mould material you use, how much will it stretch? I want to cast a small bowl/cup like structure, but the base of the cup is only about 8mm, through which I would have to remove the rest of the cup, once set. The cup is around 45mm diameter, would its removal through such a small hole rip the silicone so destroying the mould? How elastic is the silicone once set? Appreciate your thoughts on this please, thanks 😊
Hi, thank you, you would have to cut the mold open with a sharp knife to get it out, then hold it back together with bands or tape while you pour and cure, hope this helps
Thank you very much, really appreciate your quick reply.
@@MarkRobinson555 you’re very welcome, best of luck with your project
Have you tried painting a epoxy layer on the outside of your 3-d items?
Not yet but I really need to, have you? Thanks 😊
This is really cool, but is there a version that allows for a shiny finish with the resin molds?
I’m working on lots of variations at the moment and getting them lovely and shiny, coating the item in spray paint or varnish or resin, thanks, best of luck with your projects
You make some beautiful things. Maybe you can help. A friend coated a large project with resin, but he didn't use enough hardener. Is there any way to make the coating harden?
Thank you, hmmmm that was a bit of a bumma, not so sure really, if it wasn’t salvageable any other way I think I’d with mix some more with extra gardener, or try and remove what I’d already put on. I’d take it as a learning curve for sure and turn it from something it was supposed to be into something else maybe, it’s a tricky one and really frustrating when these things happen I know, best of luck
@@RedRockingBird My friend removed all of the uncured resin and reapplied resin mixed properly. Thanks!
@@jerrycurtis98 wonderful good to hear it worked out
hi, I am so happy I found your video. I am trying to cast my tiny humming bird earrings but they are not flat at the bottom and I am trying to cast a sun pendant. Can you please share some tips on how to cast them please?
More coming later this year, you need to encase the whole thing, there are a few ways to do it
Wonderful can you share the link to the mold formwork that clips together
Thanks.
▶Mold Housing amzn.to/3HdUBRE
I need a couple of football badges( premier league ect).would you be able to make them and how much ,I agree lovely warm calming voice “nearly nodded off😂
TOO many people have said they nearly nodded off 😂😂
Super busy schedule sorry, no time to add any more in sorry
Hi. Can you tell me once you’ve made the silicone mould, can you melt the silicone rubber to make other silicone moulds?
Once it’s a mould it’s a mould. The only way I would reuse it is to chop it up in tiny bits and mix with new silicone and pour again
New to the idea of making my own silicone molds for resin, is any resin food safe, or do I need to specifically specify food safe?
Once epoxy resin has fully cured correctly then it’s normally food safe, for example for the side/decoration of a chopping board, always best to check with the brand you use first though. I personally wouldn’t make plates and cups etc to use though presently
Hi can you cast successfully airdry clay items or do you need them to be coated with something, thank you ✨️ 💖
Hi, they definitely need to be coated, I made this video: th-cam.com/video/Br4RvHWbQFk/w-d-xo.html when i experimented with it, thanks
@@RedRockingBird thank you so much for getting back so quick and linking your video 💖
@@little_misscrafty items that are non porous all the way through are easier, but I’ll experiment more with the air dry clay, enjoy, thanks
Will a standard respirator be sufficient? What about where they are drying?
I leave to dry in the ventilated room and shut the door. Mine is for all gases
How can I make molds for flower earrings? And for roses and other complex ones, how can I keep them bubble free?
I’ve been playing around with silicone molds, there are plenty of videos out there where stents are added etc, each shape is unique, the other option is a compression gadget
Hey I had a question,when making a resin mold what does it mean by pouring a 1:1 ratio.
1 part of resin A and 1 part of resin B.
So if you measure 50g of part A, also measure 50g of part B and then mix together to make 100g of resin
i am planning to make a mold of a bottle, if the base of mold were too thin, can i make a base layer? will it stick together (the additional base and the original mold)
Hi, if you mean, pour more silicone in after it’s set? Yes silicone should stick to silicone, just don’t let any grease get between it
great! thank you so much!@@RedRockingBird
How strong is the odor ? Thank you for this tutorial ❤️
The door is sturdy, to make even stronger use wider planks to hold all together rather than thin ones like i did, but i love my barn doors, thanks
@@redrockingbirdathome2696 ty. How strong is the odor of the silicone when pouring?
On my other channel I made a barn doors and this comment got mixed up up sorry!
The odour from the silicone is very low and then there is more of an odour from the resin, so I recommend a respirator mask, different brands are different, thanks
@@RedRockingBird thank you!
I'm wanting to make Lotus Biscoff moulds. Can I use the actual biscuit to make the mould?
Funny you say that as I am currently in the middle of a Biscoff project
Try getting SLA resin 3D printer which can print smooth surfaces and incredible details. I have Elegoo Mars 3 and it's great.
How large a mold does the printer make? …. Thank you so much
Thank you for this
Mine can make about 30x30x40cm if I remember correctly
Can I use glass figurines to create the mold? I mainly see plastic items used….??
You can yes
Hi what is the plastic square thingy called pls?
Hi, it’s this: shorturl.at/BPRS9 thanks
Hi can you tell me please if its possible if you have a silicon mold ,if u linded it with say polaphene ,can you then make a silicon object threw using the original mold, Thank .P
I’m not quite sure what you mean, if lining with something else it sounds like it’s going to be a bit uneven/distorted by the film
Hi thanks for your reply.what I mean is when I see someone make a epoxy resin item threw a silicone mold ,can I make a silicon item out of the original by say pouring silicon into the original mold.
Thanks. P
Or will,it stick together
@@bensonmayfield5636 with regular silicone it will adhere and stick to the silicone, but I have a video out hopefully in January where you can do this with something different not using mold release, so some people I’ve seen do your method with mild release too
@@RedRockingBird Thanks
Do you or someone makes custom made silicon mold?
What is it you are after? I would love to offer this service but right now I just don’t have the time, best of luck
Do you think epoxy will ruin foam and if I send you a pic can you 3d print me something
I currently don’t offer a printing service sorry. Depends on type of each
if you 3d print them you have to let the print degas for about a week be for you mold it
Thank you, I still have lots to learn with the 3D printing, interesting, what does it do during that week? Thanks, Sarah
@@RedRockingBird just make sure you cure the parts and clean really good.. then let it set in a window with some sun for about week or 2 or your rubber wont cure... it took me about 45 try's to do this until someone told me about that trick lol
@@jamessmallwood7448 I see thank you, I really appreciate it and will try that, does this work for PLA? Which is what I have here. Trying to print now with ABS but that’s a whole new struggle in itself but will keep trying 😊
@@RedRockingBird most molds will work with pla and abs its resin that takes time
resin printers
What is the benefit of doing this versus purchasing a mold?
If you find a mold that is exactly what you require for a project then that’s fab, I like to make completely unique items and therefore making my own molds is super useful
I thought it was better to measure epoxy by volume because the resin and hardner can have different consistencies.
The one I use here is let’s resin and they recommend weighing, other as you say measure by volume, so always read the specific brand instructions Thank you for watching 😊❤️
Why do you need the double-sided tape? That is, why isn't the packing tape enough?
The times I relied on the green tape they didn’t stick, strong double side worked for me
Silicon ka kitna price hota hai mam please bta dijiye
It’s not cheap stuff, but try it out on small projects first
How do I hold the strawberry to make a mold?😬😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫🤯🤯🤯🤯
Can it have a flare base somewhere on the strawberry 🍓 that’s your easiest answer if so, if not that’s a whole new video, many have covered this and I hope to do a video at some point 😊
This was an amazingly detailed tutorial! I am someone very interested in starting a resin design business myself. I was actually wondering whether you completely started your studio and designs by being completely self taught? Or would you recommend doing a course/workshops to cut down costly mistakes and learning time? Many thanks 🙌🤍
Thank you. I have a BA hons degree in Furniture and Product Design, so leant many skills there and have learnt many more since too, but I have always loved art, design and making things with an absolute passion and if you learn your craft whichever way you choose I wish you the best of luck.
Great advice, thanks so much for the insight ❤️❤️
