- Here is a helpful mold making video created by Marvelous Molds that teaches basic mold making techniques using an amazing mold putty called, Silicone Plastique®, which is found at www.makeyourownmolds.com/shop.... Mold making is a valuable skill that can be very useful for just about anyone who is involved in creating a physical object. I have taught thousands of people how to make molds and have come to realize that most people have a predetermined opinion that mold making is very technical and difficult to perform. It is true that mold making can be very complex, but you may be surprised to find that 90% of the physical objects around you right now can be molded with Silicone Plastique®. The reason this is possible is because I have spent a decade and a half developing this amazing mold putty into a perfect consistency that feels like modeling clay and is very user friendly. Originally designed for chefs to be used in kitchens for food molds, Silicone Plastique® is completely non-toxic, food grade and complies with FDA regulations concerning synthetic rubber coming into repeated contact with food. While chefs world wide use Silicone Plastique®, it is amazing how this easy to use silicone mold making compound has found its way into many diverse areas. Scientist and engineers purchase Silicone Plastique® in order to make molds of their inventions so they can have a collection of duplicate prototypes. Paleontologists use it to make molds of fossils right at the dig sight and in museum work shops. Restoration experts use Silicone Plastique® to make molds of ornate moldings and picture frames in order to repair damaged originals. Artists, polymer clay & precious metal clay sculptors find Silicone Plastique® perfect for reproducing their original art creations into exact copies that can be sold for a profit. Educators, parents and children's activity directors find Silicone Plastique® to be a medium that fascinates kids and very helpful in creating parts needed for science projects or other educational endeavors. Professionals in all industries have found Silicone Plastique® to be an excellent material to have on hand for making custom gaskets and seals for machinery, handles for tools, bumpers and pads for conveyor and assembly lines. Custom shaped pads and coverings for orthopedic and prosthetic applications are also made with this amazing silicone mold making putty. Silicone Plastique® has even been used by farriers to treat a horse's hoof by packing this smooth and pliable mold making compound into the hoof under the shoe in order to add support and helpful repair to a horse's hooves. The list is endless of how Silicone Plastique® is being used throughout the world and quite a fascinating story when you consider that it was originally designed as a chef's mold making material. But in a way, it makes sense when you consider that a chef, like us, has at his disposal only the basic kind of tools found in a kitchen. He, like us, doesn't have much time nor can he undertake a process with a complicated learning curve involving technical equipment. Sounds like the rest of us, doesn't it? It seems that what will work for a chef in the kitchen is perfectly suited for the rest of us, namely a mold making system that is easy to use, a consistency that we can handle like clay or play-doh and a quick curing time that yields a strong, pliable mold that can be reused for a lifetime.
HI Justin, So glad you found us through this video! It is a testimony to TH-cam and our efforts to provide free education via online videos. Thank you for your kind words.
So smart to use measuring spoons.
Thank you Alexandra! We realize not everyone has a scale that detects small quantities, so the measuring spoon technique works great.
Oooo! I love it. Saving this video for future projects
Wow, thank you for your favorable review. I have worked for 15 years perfecting silicone plastique to meet my goal of having the best product worldwide. Your comment confirms that I am on my way. - Dominic
Very cool!
Mr. Palazzolo, this video was INCREDIBLY helpful. Thanks so much for the efforts you underwent to make sure everyone could understand it. I've never tried anything like this, but your video makes me feel like it's not as impossible as others make it seem!
Amanda, Thank you for your kind compliments. I am so happy to hear that it is a video that you feel everyone can understand. That is one of my main goals in making my videos. Thank you for taking the time to leave such wonderful feedback.
I bought this. It is awesome!! So much better quality than amazing mold putty that they sell at Michaels! I definitely recommend it!!
This video is how I found you guys, great product!
Thank you for your kind words. We do have a lot of soap makers that use our products.
you made it look very easy. thanks
Sir, this is very awesome,looks interesting! I like it!
Thank you so much!! I will try again with different objects and clean! (I did not clean them before using)
Looks like I need some.
Yes you can! Thanks for writing in to us. ;-)
Thanks great teaching
Thank you, I really appreciate your feedback. - Dominic
I have watched three of your videos so far and have learned more about mold making than I ever knew - and I sculpt with clay and sell my molds for income! I love your demonstration and teaching technique! (I also teach and can spot a great teacher when I see one:) Now I need to purchase some of your professional product. Thank you for creating these wonderful informative videos to go with your products, and for your seemingly endless patience in responding to the comments on all of them! Blessings!
Thank you so much!! Appreciate the your feedback!
This was my effort to make a quick video that lays out just the facts. I am always experimenting with different deliveries. Your feedback is very helpful. - Dominic
Very nice 👌👍
great video
thank you!!
Nice job.
Thank you very much - Dominic
Thank you for your help, but it purchased silicone mold putty or amazing mold putty it it works very very well I love ❤️it a lot
@MakeYourOwnMolds thank you
Yes. now I saw it late on this VID,, It can be use in making soap,, Thanks a lot..
I enjoyed your presentation very much. It was easy, to the point, and had great tips that other sites didn't have. Thank you
Thank you! We appreciate your helpful feedback.
Presumably when you purchase the plastique is includes both parts?
HI Kim, Great Question. When you purchase one pound of Silicone Plastique you get 1/2 pound of Part A and 1/2 a pound of Part B. If you purchase 5 pounds you will get 2.5 pounds of Part A and 2.5 pounds of Part B. etc.
Thank you Dominic. For someone who is new to the craft this helps. :)
Kim Priestley Ramirez Kim Thank you very much. I hope you will give mold making a try. But be warned... mold making can be addicting!
Would love to see a video of a mold with considerable details used with Fondant
You can use the Silicone Spread, it is the consistancy of butter and you can spread it on to your project with a brush. That should help get it on the straw with out breaking it Have a great day!
Hi thanks for this video great info. Please tell me after using these mounds for clay and plaster of Paris is it ok to use for edible products?
pretty
As long as your food is clean, dry, and firm (not soft and oozing like an overripe piece of fruit).
This stuff looks awesome! Just what I was looking for!
I have a quick question: I'm more of a visual person when it comes to quantities, and wanted to know how much each of those containers at the beginning of the video contain, in pounds. Do you know? It would help me when determining how much Silicone Plastique I should be ordering for my project :)
merci beaucoup pour cette information utile
You are welcome! Glad you liked the video!
Looks very nice and workable. Could you use this to cast pewter? The melting point of pewter seems to be just around or sligthly below what silicone plastique can take. Perhaps you could at least get one casting...
Can you also use it for cement? I just started using quick drying cement and want to make my own molds but not sure what materials I should be using. Any information will help! Thank you!
Can i use this to make a shoe heel mold.Like this video.
You can give it a try. But I would recommend using our liquid silicone product Copy Flex. You will want to seal it with confectioners glaze first so that the silicone will not get down into the crevices of the cookie. You can find Copy Flex for sale on the website associated with this video. and on that same website there is a video how to make molds with Copy Flex. Good luck and let us know how it goes!
Hi! Do you get shinny resin pieces on the front when you use this mold? I have tried Sillicon Mold Putty but my pieces are opaque! any tip? thank you so much!
This is a super video. I have a question for you. Can we melt plastic and pour in silicon mold? Is is possible for silver too? please help mp.
Sir, this video is very helpful. I just have one question, can this silicon be reused to make another mould, if so how?
Can we use it for making metal(silver,gold) things ?
Hi, looks like a great product. Can this product be used with air dry clay, and ultra thick embossing powders that are heated up.
Regards Gina :-)
Hi Vitrobijou, Thank you for your question. Silicone Plastique will allow you have have a shiny finish to your resin when it comes out of the mold you create. You will want your original object that you make your mold from to be the cleanest and shiniest possible. Starting with a clean and shiny object will allow your final mold to have a shine to it as well, if you original item is dull and dirty that will transfer to the mold and your final resin peices will look dull and dirty.
Yes, it works quite well with polyurethane - Dominic
Palina, Excellent question. Our silicones can withstand temperatures up to 400 degrees F. You can actually put your polymer clay in the mold and bake it in the mold. When you create something using our products be sure to send us photos! We love to see our customers creations.
Hi !! I am making a Robotic fish and looking for materials to form the skin.
Can this be made more flexible? i found lot of variants in the website.. can you suggest me one?
can you mold silicon plastique by itself aswell? Say that i make a doll out of normal clay, then mold it( letting it cure ofcorse) and then fill the mold with plastique, would it combine together(i dont want that) or become seperate which is my expected outcome. And also can i colour silicon plastique. Id like to know asap i may be buying this product.
CupcakesandCardio, Thank you for your compliments
Does this hold up well when using resin in it? Like can it last? Mold putty breaks off and platinum silicone is amazing and awesome but a little pricey! Great video!
Hi Cyra,
Thanks for your inquiry, Of all the clay like silicone, silicone plastique would be best with 30 to 50 uses maybe more. In general liquid silicone better.
Great questions! Our silicone can withstand temperatures of up to 400F. If you are able to work with those materials within the temperature allowance, you should be fine. Try it and send us pictures of your creations!
Just saw your video & will go to your website to check out your products. I'm interested in your copyflex, as I am a candlemaker(novice, I'll admit but have to start somewhere...also work w/polymer clay)
Hi Kaye, We have lots of candle makers that use our products and have great success. You can find CopyFlex™ here: www.makeyourownmolds.com/copy-flex
Looking forward to seeing what you create!
I couldn't find this particular brand, Silicone Plastique, on Amazon. Any suggestions. The others do have a quick working time. I like the way yours works. Your tutorial is concise and perfection. Thank you.
Hi Cathey, You can always purchase Silicone Plastique at MakeYourOwnMolds.com
Making a mold of a lacrosse head is advanced mold making. You can always call me for more in depth help. - Dominic
I have a question. I was wondering if this would work with blown sugar. Thanks.
does it works with plaster of Paris or clay? how much I need for 8" long and 5" wide sculpture?
How long do these molds usually last? How many uses do they have (if used properly)?
Hello, How do I do in this church for polyester mold? Thank you in advance
hello i have a question i would like to use this for polymer clay and i was wondering if you can put the mold in the oven without it ruining?? thanks
is this a suitable mold for making polyeurethane models
Which material u have been used
Yes, fresh Silicone Plastique will bond to cured Silicone Plastique
I filled containers to the top for this video in order to show the product well, I would say that this resembles a two pound kit (1 pound of Blue + 1 pound of White) - Dominic
KewneRain, You can certainly create a mold of your finger. You will want to take into consideration how you are going to stand the finished mold up so that when you pour the liquid gummy solution into it it doesn't tip over. Go to the website associated with this video, got to "How to Make Molds" then scroll down to "How to Use Easy Shell Maker". If you have further questions you can choose the contact us option on the web page.
Yes, you can make a mold using silicone plastique and use it to mold silicone plastique into a part or a particular shape. You must apply a release agent to keep the plastique from bonding with itself. A thin double coating of Release-Dit will do the job perfectly. You can find Release-Dit at my website listed in the above description.
Hello from Philippines..Can it be use to a soap mold? And do you have an idea or advice if I can find this Silicone P here in my country? Thank you..
yes!
Where can i buy silicon plastique
Is it available at amazon shopping, flipkart.....
Sure, as long as the blown sugar is strong enough to withstand the handling of the mold making process. In other words, if your sugar is delicate, you may end up breaking it while making your mold.
can i mold cement with silicone? just want to make sure
Can I buy this at a store like wall-Mart or something if so what store
can i use silicon plastique on an alredy cured silicon plastique mold? I want to make a flexible mask
I would like to know where one can purchase this? It is new to me and not sure where to purchase. TFS
@bigbunny339 If you buy 1 pound you will get 8 ounces of part A and 8 ounces of part B. You only combine the amount that you need for each project and when it has all been used up, you will have one pound of cured molds in your collection. Hope this helps.
How many lbs. are those containers in the video & price? Thank you for this helpful tutorial! :-)
Hi :) You show in the video that it can be used with polymer clay. so my question is: Do i have to take out the clay before baking or is it possible to bake the clay direktly in the mold?
You can do either. It can be baked directly in the mold or removed before baking.
Yes it is completely safe and we do ship to Singapore - Dominic
Hi Ilike so much this presentation,can you tell me from your experience what is the best fo creat a lace mold for cake .thanks.sofia
Hi Sofia, If you go to the website associated with this video you will find another video called "How to Make a Lace Mold"
This video should also be on You Tube as well, if you can find it on here.
If you do decide to make a mold of lace the Silicone Plastique Beginner Mold Making Kit has everything you need to make your lace mold.
Dear Halayamani,
The smallest amount you can purchase of Silicone Plastique is one pound. The amount used in this video at the beginning was measured probably 1-2 pounds in each container.
Yes, Silicone Plastique will resist casting temperatures in excess of 400 degrees F. Works great with candy. - Dominic
@MiaMccB This is a very hard question to answer.There are many factors that must be considered that contribute to the wear and tear on a mold. How thick or thin is the mold? What is the mold being used for? How large is the mold? Has the mold been stored properly? How often is the mold used? In general, you should consider a mold made with our materials as commercial in grade with a toughness that insures long mold life and dependability. It will last you for years and many uses if used properly
can you use metal clay with it?
Can you cast pewter?
Hi I am doing some jewelry with resin and i need a shiny look on my resin. Does this material provide a mold witch gives a shine to the resin, I read that with some other products the resin end up looking foggy, I just want to be sure before purchasing it. Thank you
Hi wenbiafra, If your original object has a nice shine the Silicone Plastique will pick up that shine and give a shiny mold. The resin you put into your shiny mold will have a shine too. If your original object is dull or dirty then your mold and anything you cast in the mold will be dull.
is that available to all countries?
Dear Aref. You can give Silicone Plastique a try. You can purchase it from the website associated with this video
Hi, where can i buy this kind of silicone in mexico?
i want to make a rubber seal i don't no what material i should use
does it work with cement ???
Can it be used with any thermoplastics? I was able to use PLA in a store bot silicone mold
We are not sure if this would work, but most likely it would! We would recommend that you test the material.
I was wondering if they can be used for baking as well?? Like a flexipan??
+otarelle
Check out our website www.makeyourownmolds.com/silicone-plastique, not recommended for baking.
If air drying clay or plaster of paris is used with a Silicone Plastique mold, will the mold still pull off or would another agent need to be added to allow safe removal of the casting with no damaging?
Al Johnston man it would have been nice if he had have answered this question. I really like to know about the plaster of Paris aspect when using these molds.
Hi Al, No mold release is required. That is what is so great about Silicone Plastique
Where do u get that
Can i fill silicone plastiique with silicone to get my fingerprint?!
Hello,I just purchased your product and I mixed it exactly like you described. I weighed Part A and B perfectly and I waited 2 hours ..When I poured the chocolate small pieces of the mold is sticking to the chocolate .What am I doing wrong?
Hi Sifu, There could be several things causing the issue. If you can give my office a call at 513.244.2999 or toll free with in the US at 1.800.333.5678 We can trouble shoot this with you. The office hours are 9am-4:30pm EST.
Can the polymer clay be baked whilst in the mold? Or will the mold peel off so easily that the clay will not move during the removal process. I couldn't tell in the video if the polymer clay was baked or not in your example.
+Jennifer Esselman It is best to remove the mold before baking. It will peel away easily to remove the polymer clay. You could try baking the clay in the mold but it may change the necessary baking times, it would require some experimentation.
You can mold cement in a silicone mold. However, after using the cement in your mold, the mold will no longer be food safe. Thanks for your question and have a wonderful day.
How man lbs of Product of Silicone Plastique was shown in this video?
kalo di indonesia sudah ada apa belum?
Polymer clay too ?
