The sophie and toffee squishy gels, from my experience, do tend to stick more to silicone and from what I saw even sophie and toffee adds a separation layer in their newest video for the silicone squishy box. The reason the paws worked is likely because the molds are rubber based and not silicone. Always love seeing you experimenting with these kinds of things.
I have a shop for my handmade taba squishies. Also I’m so glad you showed the difference between the cheap Temu ones from the real handmade ones ahhh finally
Yay and good luck with your store! I feel that taba is going to become the next slime trend where the best products come from indie sellers. I somehow don't see any commercial companies making good taba squishies. Most are probably going to cut corners and try to sell giant mochis in plastic bags with cheap fillers inside.
I’m so glad I came across your channel after so long. I used to watch you a lot as a child and I just wanted to say that I love the way you explain the science of toys and crafts❤❤
The impulsive thoughts to bite into those silicone squishes... especially the milky ones they look like those cheesecakes in a fancy shape at the asian market
since the word refers to a cluster of textures, the point seems to be to keep it in the package to squish them all. especially if they’re supposed to be super soft
please be careful ordering from temu.. its similar to wish and banggood which have sellers who not only underpay employees and have unsafe work environments, but often employ children as well...

Does the part A and part B of the silicone not have a different density? So measuring by weight leads to not having 1:1 ratio unless you did recalculate it? I'm just curious because I learned with silicone and resin you should measure by volume
That's interesting! I never thought about that and I've only seen people measure them by weight as well. The two liquids do look very similar though in terms of density. Part B is usually the hardener but bizarrely, in the Chinese videos, Part A seems to be the hardener.
Not all flocking is small fibers. There are flocking fibers that are longer and used in dioramas. Saying that it’s not “real flocking” bc it’s longer is just incorrect
Have you tried using vaseline as a release agent? Dishwashing liquid also works, just rub a bit on your mould and allow it to dry. You can use water to help with demoulding the casting without tearing
ive always played with tape and stickers because i loved sticky things but they always ran out of stickiness. slime has a residue and wet feel so that didn't satisfy me much either, i have some taba squishies on the way here so im excited for it as i want it for the stickiness but also the softness is a plus. cant wait to feel them unflocked ones are the sticky ones i wanna feel, im not worried about taking them out and getting them dirty as i can keep an area clean to touch it anyway ^^
another creator I like to watch here on youtube Mani Land just posted a video about her new squishy gel which seems to ship international; I instantly thought of your videos and wanted to say in case you would be interested! I would love to see you try it out 💖
Have you ever used caulking mixed with cornstarch to make molds? It would be a lot cheaper than the two-part putty, and I've seen folks successfully use it for years :)
I tried doing that many years ago to make fake deco cream but unfortunately it didn't end well. The caulking was so difficult to remove from my skin...I wasn't sure if I got the wrong brand or type of silicone
@@maqaroon oh no! I've never touched it with my skin until it cured, I mixed mine in a plastic cup with a popsicle stick until it was a putty, and wore gloves since I have really sensitive skin.
@07:22 the problem here can be resolved by using vaseline on the mold before pouring the silicone solution. That's what I saw those taba makers on xiaohongshu do. 7:237:23
hey maqaroon, I was trying to make a mold for hot glue, I was wondering if you can make a video based on cheap mold makers or even ones that you can make yourself that will not damage the resin piece or glue always love ur cuds btw
be careful when buying from temu, there have been concerns over the working conditions of temu employees and the selling of data from the site to data brokers including personal info and credit card info
Yes in terms of payment I only use Paypal which has an added layer of encryption. Regarding working conditions I feel it's the same as Aliexpress and Taobao so most of the sellers are independent factories/stores.
Hello dear, I am from Iran, we don't have ready-made packs like this, but you can find A-B sanitary silicone liquid with Shore 00. Can you make a perfect squishy with these materials?

I bought the older S&T squishy gel awhile back and I tried to use it for the first time recently and it didn't cure all the way. Extremely sticky/goopy on the mold side. I'm not sure if I mixed it less than I should've or if the pigment was bad, or if my ratio was just way off somehow. Have you had this happen? I'm gonna have to experiment 😭
I'm surprised to hear that! The gel usually cures without problems, however the ratio needs to be 50:50, with possibly more hardener (40:60 for A: B). Though I have heard that things like temperature and room humidity can interfere with silicone curing so maybe that played a role
Please help me squishy gel product is not available in my country and shipping is not provided. Which silicone and soft materials should I use. What are the ingredients of A and B gel? What should I buy?
thanks for this informative vid! how much would u price one squishy? I cant tell, on top of the cost for the ingredients, whether it should be rather large amount for labor cost or not before finalizing the price of one squishy bag
I'm a seller of Handmade silicon Toys from China. We are recently planning to set up an independent station to sell these cute toys all over the world. The price of the customized toy in the video is expected to be $10 to $20.
So basically its just a two part silicone mixture A and B but the shore hardness is very low? I bought one out of curiosity and took it out of the package, it felt like like it is a shore hardness of 00-10 to me.

Thank you, I'm so happy to hear that! I love hearing from people who have been with the channel from the very beginning 🥰
I😊
I am a kid and I love these videos
The impulsive thoughts to bite into those silicone squishes... especially the milky ones they look like those cheesecakes in a fancy shape at the asian market
Yes!! Some of the tabas I saw online look so forbiddenly delicious 😂
I'm a bit confused, you don't take these squishes out of the packaging right?
If u don't wanna ruin it, then yes dont get it out of the packaging
since the word refers to a cluster of textures, the point seems to be to keep it in the package to squish them all. especially if they’re supposed to be super soft
yep! the packaging is part of the texture, so it's awesome if you're someone (like me) who loves crinkly things.
Yep, I don't think you are supposed to take them out. It's surprisingly satisfying though...a lot more ASMR-y compared to regular squishies.
You do take them out if you want
You need to put vaseline inside of the mold before pouring the silicone! Also demolding in water helps.
You are always so on top of trends! Thank you for making these experiments so honestly!
I literally am obsessed with 捏捏 recently so happy to see you covering this!!!! Hope to see more of this content in the future ~

srsly!! its as bad or even worse than shein
Is there any proof or just suspicion?
Do you have sources for this? Especially the child labor part.

this is fascinating! the way eva bags sound combined with all those different textures makes me want one of these.
I love how much I learn and enjoy these videos like- I'm getting some tabba squishies now that you showed me how adorable they are
omg when i started getting tabs squishy tiktoks on my fyp, i immediately remembered your clear squishy videos!
That hello kitty be working out hard😂

Reminds me of the silicone process in terms of making prosthetics- a lot of them need to be powdered with baby powder or corn starch

Can't wait to see you test the new squishy gel!
Great video. I love that your videos include a science element..
What a fun trend! So cute!!
I've been waiting for you to make a video about this!!! I'm beyond happy, thank youu!❤❤😊
I love your channel because I learn about new things and trends in every single one of your videos.
Have you tried using vaseline as a release agent? Dishwashing liquid also works, just rub a bit on your mould and allow it to dry. You can use water to help with demoulding the casting without tearing
I love the look of these! Thank you for explaining
Wow! Early to an upload! Cant wait to see what this is about Maqaroon!
I love this squishies, i have a collection of them in my room. hehe
ive always played with tape and stickers because i loved sticky things but they always ran out of stickiness. slime has a residue and wet feel so that didn't satisfy me much either, i have some taba squishies on the way here so im excited for it as i want it for the stickiness but also the softness is a plus. cant wait to feel them
unflocked ones are the sticky ones i wanna feel, im not worried about taking them out and getting them dirty as i can keep an area clean to touch it anyway ^^
This is so cool and amazing. I used watch this as a child
I adore the paw print taba squishies! The colors & designs are so amazing :D
Really adore those hello kittybuff sketches 😂😂
Yesss I’m so glad you covered this!! I left a comment wondering about these a couple week ago!!

i cant speak for other countries but in turkey you can easily find pva bags as either pencil cases or makeup bags? i have like 5 of them lying around
@07:22 the problem here can be resolved by using vaseline on the mold before pouring the silicone solution. That's what I saw those taba makers on xiaohongshu do. 7:23 7:23
could you do a video on the other trending - super slow rising squishy? i still can't figure out the logic behind why it's so so slow rising!!
hey maqaroon, I was trying to make a mold for hot glue, I was wondering if you can make a video based on cheap mold makers or even ones that you can make yourself that will not damage the resin piece or glue
always love ur cuds btw
i love your videos 😍😍😍
If you get/make a flocked 2:1 ratio taba, can it be taken out of the packaging? it doesnt get dirty easily because of the flocking powder, right?
Awesome vid! I wonder if you could squish a tiny taba squishy inside a nano tape cube?
Maquaroon, will you do something with poppy playtime to celebrate ch 3’s release??? Pretty please?😊
I’ve been waiting for you to make a video about this !!
This is cool!
That's so interesting! I didn't know there were so many types of squishies omg
5:14
Does hitohada gel say to measure by weight? If it doesn't then you should measure by volume
I think the effect the ziplock bag had sticking to the squishy was kind of satisfying. 😅
I descovered maqaroon after 2 years I'm soo happy I found her again =D
Also (old) new subscriber 😊
never been this early for a video before!! can’t wait to watch the video
OMG I BEEN WAITING FOR U TO DO THESE! I tried to message u ab it but lol
Hello ✨💗 does the A B rubber liquid silicone work for squishy ?
What if you change the mixing ratio for the pudding mochis squishy wouldn’t it have the same texture as Taba squishy?
I love ur channel. it always makes my day better❤
Omg can you do a vid on the hand painted beads on xiaohongshu i would absolutely LOVE toue take on them plssss 😩🙌🏽
Thank you for the info😁
I learn so much from your vids

Hello dear, I am from Iran, we don't have ready-made packs like this, but you can find A-B sanitary silicone liquid with Shore 00. Can you make a perfect squishy with these materials?
As an avid hello kitty fan. I am 100% here for this
We’re do you buy Sophie and toffee squishy gel and your cat paw molds
Hello dear, I am from Iran, we don't have ready-made packs like this, but you can find A-B sanitary silicone liquid with Shore 00. Can you make a perfect squishy with these materials?😢😢😢
Hi macaroon!weird question but is ur voice ai cuz u talk so well
Its not theres some videos where she talks with her face too and shes always sounded like that
@potatoo.chipss ohh ok thx for telling me
Thank you for this video!
Ooooo I tagged you a few days ago in a taba TikTok! Hahaha
Question 🙋♀️ can you add scents essential oils to these taba squishies without ruining the quality?
So they are not supposed to be taken out of the packaging ??
Yes, they're supposed to be squished through the plastic. It's much more ASMR-y than regular squishies but very satisfying
I bought the older S&T squishy gel awhile back and I tried to use it for the first time recently and it didn't cure all the way. Extremely sticky/goopy on the mold side.
I'm not sure if I mixed it less than I should've or if the pigment was bad, or if my ratio was just way off somehow.

Please help me squishy gel product is not available in my country and shipping is not provided.
Which silicone and soft materials should I use.
What are the ingredients of A and B gel?
What should I buy?
These are really cute
What is the app you went to for taba squishys I really want a real taba squishy
I love your chanal I'm in love with your video's
Instead of throwing out the uncured hitohada gel, would adding more hardener and then pouring the mixture back into the mould work?
That's an interesting idea! It might actually work...I'll try it if the chance comes up again
@@maqaroon I love your channel and have been watching since 2017!! The squishy videos are always fun to watch ❤️❤️
Omg these are so cool! Honestly I’m shocked at how early I am tho
Is the silicone only in chime or in a few different countries I need to do this
I have a small question... do you need to put the squishies in the freezer to dry?
Such a great video. Can you please do a Totoro/Studio Ghibli video, please
So where would I get the a b silicone? Used with the silver label in the beginning on the original page where it went viral?
i just saw UV clear putty on temu, it looks like a clear clay! you should totally try it out!!
I have that already 🤩! I also got from Temu and will be filming it soon
Is food coloring good for colors?
Do you know why the AB glue comes in separate packaging instead of one big bottle? Is it no reason or just so it won’t dry up?
I think this came from the 捏捏 trend that started in China, because I keep finding it in places such as 小红书 (Im Chinese btw)
Yep!! The squishies people make on 小红书 are incredible
How do we get the packaging?or the bag
What a country and since I permanent from the same place
❤️❤️❤️✨️😢😊😊😊🐰🐹🐳🦀🐙🦈🦋
SO CUTE

I know this is pretty old . But , PUT VASELINE BEFORE THE SILICONE !!
Cute
Me starting the vid: meh I don’t see the hype
Me after the vid: WANT TO SQUISH
WHERE DID U GET THE BAG
FOR IT
0:32 I have the same exact squishy
Nerd and smarttttt
7:30 Bro has a 3 pack 😭
if ur gonna use silicone a and b put Vaseline on the mold before you pour the silicones, it'll be easy to demold
Whats the fur called? I need to buy it
Flocking powder
Wow I wanna make one
Can somebody slap in a link for these gels
I'm traumatized over Hello Kitty's abs...😮😮😮😊😊😊😊😅😅😅😅
