As a new candle maker, I have been pricing wax embeds & silicone molds. What you showed will save me money. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Could one make a Extra Extra Large Pyramid shape out of this method?
@@TimberRidgeGifts whats the difference in making it this way & your other video using acetone??? Which is better??? Thanks
instablaster...
@@Elizabeth-ve6ug Hey there, thanks to this comment I checked out the acetone video too which was helpful, so thank you! Looks like his video with the acetone is to make the silicone easier to pour over something you need to mould, and the above with the corn starch is to make a mould where things are pressed into it instead! It will depend on what you're doing which one will be better for you. Need a full 3d shape? Acetone and pour the mould. Want one side flat? Corn starch and press the object in.
Just use dish soap instead of cornstarch if u don’t have any on hand . Squeeze some dish soap into your water first, then put the silicone in - it eliminates the stickiness and as you are forming the mold ball in your hand you just keep forming the ball dipping your hand in the water as you go and once the silicone isn’t sticky at all ur mold is done
FYI: Working industrial insulation, we use a lot of silicon. The quick and easy way to remove silicon from surfaces and hands is WD-40.
Spray with WD-40, wipe off then, wash with soap and water.
Where I worked, and used a lot of silicone, we just used laquer thinner to wash it off with, LOL! We didn't want any WD-40 wafting along in the breeze, as awful things happen when you paint a surface that's gotten WD-40 on it. You've never seen the extreme level of fish-eye that stuff creates!
Mary Ann Bittle ... Oh, yes I have!👁
It's nothing for us to go through a case of silicon a day.
Spraying a small amount of WD-40 to rub on one's hand to quickly breakdown, (without gumminess), silicon and wash away with soap and water takes place in sink, not in a painting work area, (enclosed?), where you indicate you use the thinner.
Even advertised as orderless, thinners are the more hazardous choice and are easily spilled.
But, each to his/her own.🙂
Can we use baby powder instead of corn starch?
@@MaryAnnNytowl ...
Laq. Thinner, besides being caustic/flammable, wouldn’t cut the industrial silicon we used; would cause it to gum up and smear and made a sticky mess that wouldn’t wash nor wipe off.
We had only one authorized safety cleanup station in a huge sq. ft.-entirely open/no walls (except along one wall for bathrooms & office) floor plan-3 stories high semi-open bldg housing the warehouse/materials storage, tool cage, open area welding shop & our insulation-fabrication-heat-trace shop area.
Insulating materials aren’t the pink house stuff.
It is an electrical power generation plant using coal mined/processed in the area.
TIP:
Last Fall, using hi-temp silicon on my wood stove and out of WD-40, I tried a few drops of pure Tea Tree Oil I keep on hand for various uses.
Walmart carries it.
It instantly dissolved the silicon on my hands, added soap and washed clean.
@@Dodo-yq2ew yes. Some baby powder is actually corn starch!
Absolutely amazing. I’ve been researching a DIY silicone mold making process and although the information seems to be the same across the board, your video is the most concise one I’ve found. You don’t waste time explaining WHAT you’re going to do before you do it, you just get started. I really appreciate that. Easy to follow, simple, concise. Great job, and thank you!
i dont just love the content of the video i love the fact that it's straight forward, no annoying background music too! good job!
Simple and to the point. So many people love to talk and talk about other things, other than what they are teaching. I get lost in words sometimes.
Absolutely perfect. Very short and to the point, informative and repetitive just enough. Thank you I am so excited to start making molds!!!!! yayeeeeee didn't even really consider that I could literally mold anything so thank you sooooo much!!!!!
OMG!!!!! I looooooooove this!!! The silicone kit I usually buy is soooo expensive that I limit myself, NO more !!!! this is A-MA-ZING!!! Thank you!!!
Been using polyvinylsiloxane and related impression materials for 40 + years, cost me a fortune as material is relatively expensive , never knew you could in a sense mix your own.Never too old to learn.There are umpteen applications,I would suggest blending material more thoroughly .
Silicone mold kits with 2 part mixes are cool but this is just awesome. No waiting on orders just hit home depot and get it rollin'. Thank you.
Thank you for actually casting something in these molds. Ive seen so many tutorials with this method, but no actual castings to measure the quality of the mold.
WHAT!!!!!!!!!! This is going to be so wonderful in all sides of my business!
Thanks for watching!
doing repairs on a recently exposed plaster medallion on the ceiling.... this worked really well for us. the mould has remained flexible for months. and captured all the detail we needed. the instructions worked perfectly. and this was quite big, 7 or 8 tubes of caulking. just did it again for the medallion in a second room.
well presented. Most craft videos either have too much intro banter by the artist and /or not enough simple, straight to the point demonstrations with clear advice on products being used.
Fantastic....TIP...add the Cornstarch to the bowl with the silicone...so you don't waste anything and it's easier....The cook in me just does it that way....
Way cool. I've been searching for a awhile for a good video. I couldn't find one that used just basic ingredients from around the house. Thanks man. I really appreciate u sharing ur knowledge & the cute video. 😊
awesome! Thank you so much! I teach high school art and we will be working with resin and make things to sell as a fund raiser. This is so much better than buying pre-made molds because the children can make their own designs! The oreo is fun! I bet this works for soap also. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! (Art teacher on a small budget)
thank you ... you don't know how much it helped me starting my small business .. thank you
What kind of business ?
This is a game changer! Thank you for this! Between Home Depot and the Dollar Tree for bowl... it is way cheaper than paying for molds. Also I can make things that aren't molds yet!
Did you try it??
Lol these is one way. I put the silicone in the container. Just keep adding whatever amount you need. Tap it down to release bubbles. Then set you items in the silicone. Walk away and it will set in a few hours. Over time it will become more firm. Remove from container and remove pieces. Done. No corn starch needed... the silicone will set on its on and you have time to work with it. I make 3 molds this way.
Oh my gosh!! My bank account loves you right now!!! Thank you so much for this share!!!!
I look forward to trying this. This method seems perfect for small mold projects.
BEST tutorial ... where have i been all these years. Thanks i can now make my own personal resin bangles and rings yaaaayyy!
Absolutely the best homemade mold mix DIY. THANK you !!!
so much cheaper and more simple-than the products i was looking to buy for my resin pours
I've decided that I want to make some dice for my brother with resin. I've never tried resin art before and I needed a mold so I'm going to try this. Thanks!
By Far the best tutorial on molds - thank you for sharing
Always check the expiration date on the silicone. I bought one without checking ar walmart and it was hard as a rock....good video...
Omg. I love this! I've seen people selling molds for $80. You've just saved me sooo much money. Thanks! Love your videos. Makes me want to keep making stuff
Tim, this tutorial is a gift! I've longed to invent my own molds, and this is cheap'n'easy. But, the video is so well-organized, answers so many questions, I subscribed right away just because I trusted you not to waste viewers' time. Nice!
WOW!! Brilliant tute- can't wait to try this, THANKYOU! xx
Thank you ! This answered all my questions. You did it in a fast simple easy way ! Awesome
Tim, this was great. Here's a tip though? If you drop your silicone into the water, you can manipulate it with your hands without the sticky stuff, then you just make a ball of it and drop your negative into it, let it dry and walla! No sticky stuff, no cornstarch! If your bent on colors, you could add the food coloring to the water.🤗
Do you manipulate it in the water, or just dunk it once?
@@desperadojess Manipulate it in the water!
Thank you for all of your very helpful and informative DIY videos...I have learned soooo much from following your videos 😁 no more spendy silicone molds for me. Thanks Tim!!
Thank you, Glad you enjoyed!
You are the best among all,
Simple small talking, excellent work.
Such a great video and so simple and affordable. So many mould making kits out there that are so expensive and not enough product to do the volume of mould. Thanks great job.
Man that really is a fantastic idea for doing mold I used to work in a small business that used silicon resin and it was expensive to make at the time any way I will be using your idea, thank you for the educational information
THANK YOU!!! I’ve been wanting to replicate a tiny wooden horse i have...now I can!!
THANK YOU!!!
Yes!! Thank you. Can't wait to try this. The sea shells caught my attention! I have been buying moulds to use with paper clay to make furniture appliques. Really want to make my own and save $$$.
Thank you for doing it 3 times. Gives us more to understand then just once
You are a legend! Had to make 54 fake cookies - too easy!! Thank-you so much!! Oh, they look awesome too!!
I just watched a video about using cornstarch to make a mold like this but it was very unclear. I liked this presentation. This seems like a really easy way to make a mold and the oreo cookies looked like it showed fine details. Glad I watched!
I have regular caulking that’s Grey so I’ll have to get the silicone one very helpful video thanks!
this is so perfect! I can’t wait to try this for my own use with resin.
Fantastic video! I can't wait to try this! Thank you!
Now that is something I can get on board with!
So much more cost effective compared to the jars of moulding compound I've been buying to make my own moulds for plaster pieces provided I can master making a two piece mould using this method.👏
Nice video. You show how to make a silicon mold in the easiest way I can think of. great job
This is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. I was about to spend a couple hundred dollars on molds, can’t wait to try this !
Thats pretty cool, my wife was talking about making soap, this would be a great way to get some cool shapes. I use silicon to fill truss rod channels on the guitars I build so they won't rattle in the neck. Never thought to use it like this,
thanks! I make soap so this is a great idea instead of ordering what I need for extra molds!
You make this look so easy and it is!! Thanks for the video.
Terrific, and I can immediately see the possibilities for quickie 2-part molds, without requiring a form or 'container', and would probably first smoosh pieces of the mixed silicone into the sockets and finer details of more complex models. Especially love your simple, straight forward approach in general... thx!
So cool. This would be great for soap moulds when making your own soap :)
Thank you so very much for sharing this video💞...You saved me alot of money💲💱💰 & taught📚 me something new💡!
You Rock Timber Ridge!!! 🎸🎸🎸
I'm glad you did an updated video. Thanks
Best tutorial I’ve seen! Thanks so much 🤗
They way I’m about to run to Home Depot 🏃🏾♀️ 💨💨💨
😂 saaaame!
Me toooo
Good job, I want to try brushing this on a large item and make a big mold. I hope it works because otherwise the other silicone mix is too expensive
This video has changed my life! thank you!!
You have taught me a lot, I'm going shopping in the morning for cookies for the mold I have corn starch and silicone here already.
Thanks for sharing!! Saved me money candle making is expensive.
EXCELLENT TUTORIAL 👏👏👏👏👏👏
THANK YOU FOR SHARING 👌👌👌👌👌
You are freakin Awesome! I was looking for a Cheaper way to make molds, and BAM, THERE YOU ARE!! LOL Thanks so much for these videos! I liked and subscribed in the first couple seconds!! Lol
Thanks Tim... very informative. I'm gonna give it a try right now!
What an amazing idea!Cant wait to try it!Thank you so much for sharing😊💞
This is an AWESOMELY AWESOME video... this gave me so many ideas for a jewelry line...
me too I'm starting to do more DIYs on my channel and this will be amazing to use make more unique molds which will give me more options
will you do 2nd part to this to show how to encapsulate an object so you can mold the entire thing on all sides.?
This is what I want too lol
I found his other video ! czcams.com/video/NgTv9konmL4/video.html
Brilliant - informative and relaxed delivery. I enjoyed this!
This is absolutely brilliant! Thank you for sharing this!!!
EXCELLENT! you saved me a ton of money! thanyou!!!
Good enough for me to use and understand that thank you so much
Cool! Good idea for getting the right size and shape of a mold that is needed. Thanks for sharing!
I been using this method for years to make lost wax jewelry castings and such. Works great. I don't care for the naphta method, it makes it smell funny and it doesn't go away.
Really well done and super great explanation as you go with the process. We are starting a business and your video put us right on track...Thank you very much...We will send you a proceed on our first 5 months... Tada..
Wish I'd seen this before I bought all those expensive molds at hobby lobby
Thank you so much! I love that this video was thoroughly informative & quick! Such a valuable resource :)
OMG! Thank you for this video! I am a soap and resin crafter but did not know how EASY it was to make my own molds!
TIm this is a great tutorial!!!!!!! Thank you! silicone molds can be pricey at times! What a great project this is going to be!
Thanks!
Wow! Just watched your updated version. Thank you so much this is going to save me money. The silicone mold Im pricing starts at $28
Thanks for watching!
WOW Tim, that's amazing , vie been pricing liquid silicone , and it crazy, this method is awesome thanks for the Vid.
I love that fact you did this three times. "One more time..." lol I LOVE it!Thank you so much! I'm going to do this right now as I have the ingredients on hand. I plan to roll it out though so the items molded later will have level backs.
Hubby is wondering why I want lotsa cornstarch and silicon all of a sudden.
This is great; any tips on making a 2 part mold?
Fantastic idea! Thank you for sharing!
Great video! Been looking for an easy method to make these molds. Thank you for posting.
Years ago I made 4 Scrat tiles in plaster for ceramic tiles.
I may use sculpey to create a hard copy then make the silicone ones. I can use concrete then. I am redoing my house and it has 2 turrets that I want the tiles on.
This way I dont have to fire them and save money
Hello. New subscriber here! I stumbled on to your videos. I love how explanatory they are. Thankyou! I had questions about wood wicking and you explained very well. Thanks for this video as well! I’m super excited to make my molds!
Thanks!!
Wow!! You made this look super easy. I tried this over a year ago and got discouraged to use it. You’ve simplified the process! Thanks a bunch!!:)
Excellent tutorial! You make it look so easy. I'll try this again. I did a few years ago and ended up with a disaster. Thanks so much for teaching us.
GREAT STUFF TIM! My "Allied Crafts" class in the Theatre Department of Western CT State University will be doing this exact technique next week!! Thank you for the wonderful demo. [Professor Elizabeth Popiel]
Thank you great for soap molds!!
is the smell of silicone will be absorb in the soap?
@@katunyingmushroom4503 I think the silicone molds will lose the pungent smell after a while.
@@katunyingmushroom4503, the silicone will cure to have no smell at all.
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing. You have given me a lot of useful information for my jewellery business. It's going to save me a lot of money. Thanks again.
I love the Oreos, I was hoping I could make molds of them!
Hi!!! Excellent video, can I use plaster of Paris with this molds?
I found a silicone tube at Walmart that didn't stink like strong @ss vinegar and with your recipe it works great.
Tim, I think you love playing with this stuff. Thanks for sharing, I found your video quite interesting. I'm going to give it a go! Thanks again!
I truly appreciate this awesome video you made. Can't wait to try it. Thanks so much!
Just keep in mind, shiny mould surface = shiny resin casting. Cornstarch moulds are a dull surface, so your resin casts will be dull as well. Great video, thanks so much.
Once you pour or seal with another coat of resin it shines right up. :)
Nothing hotter than a man who knows how to craft. Did you eat the Oreos? 😝
Totally agree 🌺
Thank you for this amazing idea!
Amazing I thought it would be alot more complicated I want to make some drink placemats.Thanks a million for showing the video.🤗
