I have been told that prepping the items you want to mould as well as the container you are pouring your silicone mould material into with mould release spray at the very start. And doing two - three layers of mould release, making sure that each layer is dry before applying the next layer. I also personally would have poured around 7-10mm of the silicone mixture into the tin before adding the plate & making sure there was enough mixture for 7-10mm on top as well to prevent tearing.
I do like the fact that you have explained some of the mistakes you have made & how you went about changing your future process & additional tips.
Where do you get the mould release spray please?
@@louisewatson3129 I searched for it on Amazon, but eBay may also be another option
Thank you for sharing your experience. It would have been nice to see a finished product from the mould
There is an entire video showing a resin pour into the mold and the finished product, enjoy!
HA! You’re a genius! Now I know what to do with the multi-size springform pan set I’ve had for years that’s still in the wrapper. 😂🤣
Thank you for this video, making and sharing it. I'd been looking for a video like this for weeks to help with a project. This is great!! Thank you!!!
I need to know how to make a mold for hands and also from the elbows up, slimmer than normal. Mold release will help..
Can you use silicone on a resin mold to make another mold?
Do you think i can make a mold from a resin model? I have a resin piece that i want to make a mold of.
Hands down you are the best at explaining this process! I love that you’re down to earth and show us your mistakes (I’ve made so many) you made me feel comfortable and right at home. I have never heard of a silicone patch before. Where can I get one?
Thank you!! I just made a silicone patch (maybe that's just what I'm calling it?) with silicone caulk and bits of the purple silicone pieces I had cut up. You have to let it sit and dry for a long time but it works!
What are the best kits to purchase to make silicone molds for food based items? I mean with plates and such, they need to be non toxic right?
YAAAAASSSSSS!!!! THANK YOI!! I am literally getting ready to pour a tray mold using a springform pan in the A.M. OMG!!! I was totally just gonna be wingin' it and crossing my fingers, so THANK YOU LOVE!! Cant wait to see how mine works. Is it normal to get this excited about this? yes, I think so too.
Glad I could help! I hope it goes well for you, it took a little bit of trial and error for me but they turn out so pretty it's worth it! Good luck!! (Also I think it's totally normal to be excited... I know I am!)
Sara Helton that is a very cool idea! I've also seen that cookie cutters with a bit of hot glue around the bottoms to seal work well for smaller items.
Great idea Sara, I used the cookie cutters & hot glue method for my dragonfly wind chimes! It definitely worked (and I planned to leave the resin in the cookie cutters) but if I wanted to take the resin out of the cookie cutters it would have been very hard. Try silicone cookie cutters or lots of mold release!
Sooo just so you know liquid silicone brings solid silicone back to it's liquid form. That's why you also can't use silicone lube on silicone toys. Don't ask me how I know that 😂
Well I know now! Lol...
This is such a nice video..I had few failed attempts of mold making so thanks alot that u gave idea of using chunks... but tell me just mix half liquid and half chunks can give smooth result or we have to pour chunks later so we could get smooth top? Please reply
I just poured half liquid and half chunks and had a smooth top and smooth insides with the chunks only on the open portion of the mold (which ended up being the bottom of my mold). I was so scared everything would be chunky but it wasn't! Worked like a charm and saved me so much silicone.
yeeeey! i just watch the one you made a resin out of this mold..... thank you! now i have an idea on how to make my own mold and how to mold em...
Where is it? Thanks!
Great video! But where is the link to the plates you said you made from resin from the molds you made? Thanks!
Thank you soooo much for your gold-worth tips! I never did this, but maybe I trie it out some time. Heard, there will always be bubbles in liquid silicone, so I only used kneatable silicone until now, but the results are not sooo great... Thumbs up for this video!!!
I have a metal crab on my wall it's a little bit hollow is there anyway I could make a mold out of it and not risk losing my red metal crab? I am very new to resin any help would be much appreciated Thank you 😍
can you make a mould using a candle in the silicone?
You should be able to! The only question I would have is weather the wax of the candle would stick to the silicone... I wouldn't think so but do a small test first to double check!
Where do I find things to mold for a car freshie mold. Does it have a certain name.
Can you tell me why you pre painted plate with silicone? Thank you
I wanted to make sure that the plate was fully covered and didn’t have any gaps… I find that painting it first helps with that. It’s not necessary just something I do
@@Happilyeverafteretc thank you. Makes sense because of pattern on plate.
@@paulalaguaite1644 exactly… I probably wouldn’t have worried about it with a smooth plate
Great tutorial. Thanks for all the info - especially letting us know your mistakes. Great tape tip. Thank you! 💐
you gave me an excellent tutoial.you are cute and smile Thank you so much.
Hi Betsy this was a interesting video to see how to do a mold of a plate 🍽 😀 😄 🙂 🤔 😊.
This was a awesome video thank you so very much for showing this video and I will look forward to the next one thank you 💕 💗 💜 💖 ❤️ 💓.
I would like to say hi to your mum and family 👪 😊 ☺️ 💕 ❤️ 💗.
Have a fantastic week and stay safe and take care 💋 😊 😀 😘 ❤️ 🙂.
Can you make a silicon mold of a spool of thread, sewing needles and a thimble?
You could definitely do a spool of thread... or even a thimble but I'm not sure if the sewing needle would work. Depending on how large it was and how you arranged it... maybe. And this might not be the right product. There are TONS of different silicone's for mold making, perhaps check into which ones are right for small, detailed items. Good luck!
How would I be able to make a mold for a box with lid like a jewelry box
As 2 separate molds.
This is honest video letting viewers ti see the mistakes and solutions. many thanks.
Ok I have an unusual mold idea but I really need some insight on attempting it. I want to make a mold of a high heel shoe so that I can resin a wearable glass slipper for my daughter's sweet 16. Do you have any suggestions? And this is the best plate tutorial I've seen 😍
That sounds so cool and pretty. It would be cool if you could cast her foot so the final glass slipper has her exact foot shape on the inside!!!
I have the same idea ss yours!!! Yay! Id live to know if you've made tbe mold for a resign glass shoe!!
Did anyone see her at the chopped up silicone? I must’ve missed it And that’s what I was watching to see!
You just stir it into the liquid silicone and pour like normal ☺️
This is a wonderful video honey - love! ...and you're so purdy
Great content! Thank you for sharing your experiences! xoxo
My favorite part was “don’t jinx yourself Betsy”. Thanks for the video!!!!!!
Do you think I could pour something hot into the silicon? Like beeswax?
Just concerned about how long you are taking to paint the plate as my moulding silicon has a pouring time of 5mins. Yours maybe longer but could mislead some people. Good video
You always want to look at the instructions for the silicone you're using... I can only give suggestions based on the one I'm using. Not every other moulding silicone on the market. I wouldn't use one with a 5 minute pouring time for a detailed piece like this...
have you tried turning cup inside out and sand it off
yes, unfortunately it's just a super thick cup so it doesn't really turn inside out
Love it!
Ever try coating it with vasolene (sp)? It works for me.
I haven't but that's a neat trick... I'll have to give it a try!
You could also layer parchment paper in the springform pan
You can cast silicone from a silicone mold, you just need to use a good amount of mold release.
Thank you for the tips. A tip for you. When you are working with silicone keep a container of very soapy water on hand and keep your hands wet with it. It keepes the silicone from sticking to your hands.
Thanks - trying to do a plate and this gave me the idea and starting point!
Thanks for your nice guides!
First time ever watching your videos and I absolutely love your personality and teaching techniques. You had me glued to my phone watching this video. Now I've got to watch your other videos. Thanks for the brilliant ideas. Your video was amazing!! I look forward to learning more from you!!
You're so sweet! I'm so glad my video was helpful! Enjoy!
Great video, however, I was expecting to see a demo of what the mold did. Show a plate made from that mold at least....
There's definitely a few photos of the plates at the end but if that's not enough you can watch the video where I show you how to use this mold! There are plenty of close-up's in that video... or the resin tablescape video where I actually set the table with these babies. Enjoy!
I love that we see your live reaction with you 🥰🥰
Una maestra muy hermosa
Omg, yesss!! Great idea!! 😩
Hot glue gun is your friend. Easier than tape. Hot glue the creases!
Good Idea
Very interesting indeed!
You’re a b….. genius! 😊
That's exactly how I felt when making this video 😂😂
So excited! Just ordered mold-making stuff (I ordered from the Reynolds website as they are the same manufacture as the silicone you used, but I ordered the dragon scale type silicone, as it's supposed to tale small details better, and is translucent- it is a little more expensive than the smooth on 30, and I was able to order in a gallon size) and I also ordered a vacuum chamber degasser from Amazon to help with eliminating bubbles. Both major expenses, but I already have everything else I need to get started. Thank you for this. I'm a new subscriber, and love your channel. And I love the tip about using fail left overs as filler.
I've heard that the translucent silicone is amazing, I hope you have good luck with it! The vacuum chamber is suppose to be wonderful too... I've seen videos of it in action and it definitely seems to remove all the bubbles. Good luck!!
It is genius to use the cake form as a mold
Why would you want a mould of a plate ? there must be lots of nice little items you can mould
This is so great! Can't wait to make my custom plates! Thanks so much!
Good luck! I'd love to see pictures!
Thank you for adding the idea of kitchen applications to my large fun list. Love the use of the Spring form pan.
Awesomeness! I didn't know you could reuse the silicone after a failed attempt! Genius!!!! Thank you for sharing. You saved me loads of money!!!!
is that dogs I hear barking??
Some good ideas.... but....
Break the darn plate.
Anyone else skipped through her talking intro?
That's the magic of TH-cam, the people who enjoy my intros can watch them and the people who don't can skip them. Easy peezy.
Helpful tips and suggestions in the intro.
Too talky.
U talk n take to long,
then watch a different video troll.
Wasted my time seeing this video will never do it again
