How To Make A Silicone Cap Mold For Resin Art

In this detailed step-by-step guide, I'll show you how I create a silicone cap mold (squish mold) for a resin art toy. Join me as I address the challenge of crafting a replacement mold for my beloved character, Blobbii. Discover the techniques I employ to construct a mold box using a cup, ensuring ample space for pouring the cap later. From measuring and mixing the silicone to degassing and pouring it into the mold, I'll share essential tips to achieve optimal results. Witness the exciting moment of removing the mold from the cup and the careful trimming required for a clean finish. Finally, I'll make a test cast using transparent urethane resin to showcase the mold. I hope this video will be useful for resin artists and enthusiasts seeking to master the art of cap-mold creation!
