- Learn how to make brush on molds using Silicone Spread. This mold making video, produced by www.MakeYourOwnMolds.com/Silic..., covers basic mold making techniques that are recommended when using Silicone Spread which is a two part mold making silicone compound that has the consistency of cake frosting. A distinctive feature of Silicone Spread is the ability to apply the mold making material on vertical surfaces such as wall hangings, moldings, and/or carvings. Silicone Spread is food-safe, mold making silicone which can be used to create food related molds such as chocolate molds, fondant molds, gumpaste molds, isomalt molds, cheese molds, butter molds and molds for cooked sugar. Non-food related molds such as casting resin molds, plaster molds, polymer clay molds and precious metal clay (pmc) molds may also be used. Silicone Spread has a paste-like consistency that makes it perfect for application with a brush. This instructional mold making video shows step by step how to create a brush on silicone mold by applying Silicone Spread in three coats to create a finished mold that is thinner than traditional molds and therefore extremely pliable and flexible.
Great products with endless applications. Thanks..........
Wow! Thanks so much for the shout out!! We are so glad you like our stuff!
Feel free to post pictures of molds you have made using our products. You can find us on Facebook!
Thank you Chelsey!
Thank you Lewis. It is nice to get a positive comment on You Tube.
Hi Nina,
You can clean up any residue by using Dawn Dishwashing liquid. We'd recommend testing a small piece of silicone on your lamp to make sure the silicone cures properly and does not cause damage to the lamp. We cannot take responsibility for any damaged original objects.
Thanks for the compliment!
Chef Dominic. In using silicone spread, do I have to mix up a new batch per layer, or can a larger amount be made, sealed in a container away from air, and then use it for the second and then the third coat? I also want to thank you for your products. I have made several of my own molds with the plastigue (may have misspelled that) and love them. Thank you for all your products and your time in making these videos.
This is fascinating...The mediums mixed together look a bit like marshmallow creme XD
Can you please clarify how easy/difficult it is to remove the mold casting from the hotel wall lamp and the best way to clean up any residue left behind in the event said hotel charges me for damaging their artwork, etc? You don't show it, so I'm assuming it's a breeze...
Thanks- great tutorial but can you tell me if you used a releasing agent and if so what you used
Hello! On this particular object we did not have to use and kind of release agent or sealing agent. That is because the original object is made from a non-porous material. If the original object was made of wood, unglazed ceramic or any other porous material, you could have to seal the surface. We have a product called Seal-Dit that is perfect for this.
Your video says that the molds are heat safe up to 400 degrees F. Does that mean that I can bake small cookies parts in the and they will be fine as long a the temp is below 400?
This product is NOT available on the MakeYourOwnMolds website. Discontinued? If so, why is this video still up?
Any chance you may have a silicon that is capable to handle high temperature? Like aluminium? I have a few really complex parts that I would love to duplicate, and have a mold that I can keep and would survive a good amount of castings...
For your help thanks a million.
+Migueldeservantes Sorry, but since our focus is on food-safe products, our silicones can't handle the temperatures required to cast aluminum. Wish we could help more!
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply! it's really appreciated.
+Migueldeservantes Of course! Sorry we can't be of more assistance, and good luck!
Do you have a video on how to use skin moulds?
If so could you give me a link?
Thanks.
Hi British Guy! The closest product we have is Silicone Spread™ and this is the video right here: www.makeyourownmolds.com/silicone-spread-video
Keep up the great questions! We have even more information on our website at www.makeyourownmolds.com
Hello there! Thanks for commenting, but not sure if you have a specific question.
I have a project that I made out of foam that is 6 mm thick and I used "PVA" glue or white school glue mixed with water to give consistency of milk to seal the foam. I made about 3 coats of white glue on top of the project. NOW I want to make a of that piece and I want it out of plastic, am I able to use silicone on top of 3 coats of white school glue? I'm afraid to try it because I think the silicone will stick to the glue. Have you tested on something that I am dealing with ?
Dear Ion, Thank you for your question. As long as the school glue is completely dried the Silicone should not stick. You can order our silicone on the website associated with this video. If you have never made a mold before we recommend Silicone Plastique for your first project. It is the easiest one to learn with.
Dominic Palazzolo Thank you for the great information :D. Also, I forgot to mention that my project is an Iron man Helmet that s made out of foam sheets.
It kind of has the consistency of frosting
Sorry you feel that way....
