Silicone Mold Making Kit, 20A Translucent Platinum RTV-2 Liquid Silicone Rubber 2.6LB for Casting Resin, Soap, Candle, Clay, DIY Molds -1:1 by Volume with Tool 4 Cups,4 Sticks,2 Droppers,1 Pair Gloves

The media could not be loaded. This is so easy to mix. This is my first time with silicone rubber and I've had no bubbles or issues curing. I mixed for 5 minutes, transfered to a different cup, mixed for another 1-2 minutes, poured, cured for 4-6 hours, then post cured in my sublimation oven at 150F degrees for another couple hours. I know several reviews said you don't have to post cure. However, as I've never used any mold maker before I didn't want to waste my money by not following instructions. I don't mind doing it anyway.This rubber cures shiny, but if the object you're copying is matte the finished product will also be matte.I used mine to make several silicone inlays including a holographic one. Thick or thin this silicone rubber did it's thing. I took a risk and love the results.I plan on getting more.

I ordered the sample size and it came with some wooden stir sticks (I recommend plastic, wood can create more bubbles), some measuring cups, and a pair of gloves! One of the bottles did leak a tiny bit, see first photo. Not very much but possibly more if I had left it in the box longer. 2nd photo is right after mixing pretty vigorously, not very many bubbles. 3rd photo is after I let it sit for a minute or 2, almost all of the bubbles popped on their own and was ready to pour. Next photos are the mold after it cured and was demolded. You can't see any bubbles in the photo but it does have some tiny bubbles left in the mold but the insides look perfect! If you added pigment/color, you probably wouldn't be able to see any bubbles. Tested it out with UV resin and works very well! The last photo is a side by side of a good cure and a bad cure. The mold on the right ia what happens if you take longer than the 40 minute work time or of it's too hot in your room. It got thick and had more bubbles. It still cured and was partially useable. Just a heads up to watch your time and be quick with this silicone, especially in a hot space. The quicker I was to pour it, the more time it has to degass and pop bubbles. I believe if you used a pressure pot with this silicone you could probably achieve crystal clear molds, zero bubbles. This silicone is actually pretty good for people who do not have a pressure pot/degasser. I will be buying more, it's great! Check out @lestrange_bootique on Instagram!

Edit: Still minus one star bc the part b of the set leaked in the box, the box itself wasn't damaged. Would've been a hassle to return so I'm glad I had extra part b from the first set I got lol other than that, I still really like how easy to use this is.--------There wasn't exactly the same amount in each bottle, I have extra part b left over. Other than that, I really like this set. This was my first time using and my molds came out perfectly and nice and shiny, no bubbles whatsoever. My room was cooler than instructed so it took a little while longer to cure, but they cured overnight and are ready to use so that's fine. Will definitely order from again.

Positive Aspects :the silicone sets in about 6 hoursIt is not too flexible or too rigidThe included materials for measuring and stirring are very helpfulVery fine details are captured by the siliconeVery few bubbles without the need to use a vacuum chamberThe 4.8 Oz bottles have a nozzle adapter that allows the product to be dispensed accurately in smaller amounts by squeezing the bottlesNegative Aspects :The included measuring materials were not very accurate. As long as equal volumes of bottle A and bottle B are used there will not be a problem. If you need a precise total volume of mixed silicone use other means to measure the components before mixingOther comments:The silicone will also capture possibly unwanted defects of the item in which it cures on such as fine scratches, grooves and dents. This is a problem if a completely smooth surface is desired on the cured silicone. Use very fine sand paper or other means to create a smooth surface on the object before applying the silicone****Helpful Tips****This silicone cures through a chemical reaction. In order for this reaction to occur 3 conditions must be met.1. The components must be measured as accurately as possible.Any excess of the two substances (A and B) will be left uncured or prevent the entire mixture from curing. Always measure both components. The included measuring cups are good enough. Pour each component carefully and do not exceed the intended measuring marks.2. The ambient temperature must be higher than 65 F (18 C)This includes the initial temperature of the components. If the temperature of bottles A and B are unknown I suggest setting the bottles in an area in which the temperature is known to be at or above the mentioned temperature for a few hours. A cheap ambient temperature thermometer is useful to have. Do not rely on a thermostat reading from a central HVAC unit. Measure the room temperature before starting. Make sure this temperature is maintained throughout the entire curing process.3. The components must be mixed well (use a timer)During the mixing process some of the material will be left stuck to one of the containers. This can cause unequal amounts of material A or B to be mixed even if the components were measured accurately. For mixing I suggest the double mixing method1. Measure equal amounts of A and B2. Pour one into the container of the other ( A into B or B into A)3. Mix throughly for two minutes. Make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the container and scrape the mixture that gets stuck to the stirring stick back into the mixture.4. Pour the mixture into the other container ( If cup A was poured into cup B then pour back into cup A. If cup B was poured into cup A then pour back into cup B)Stir for another full minute. Scrape the sides of the container, the bottom of the container, and the mixture that gets stuck to the stirring stickNow that the components have been throughly mixed pour the mixture into the lowest part of the mold slowly. This is to prevent air from getting trapped if the mixture flows from a high spot to a low spot.Thank you for reading

I bought this product recently because I was looking for a decent amount of silicone mix for a decent price without sacrificing quality. Now I’m not professional or anything, I’m just a novice resin crafter making a few simple molds for hobbies. But for as much as I’ve used the silicone for so far, it has worked really well! And it seems to cure a bit faster than other silicone mixes I’ve used in the past.I was a little apprehensive about buying this product because a lot of the reviews mentioned that the bottles had leaked in their boxes when they arrived, but I decided to take the risk and bought them anyway. I’m happy to say that my bottles did not have any leaks— in fact, they came wrapped individually in shrink wrap, which I think helped. I’m not sure if individually wrapping the bottles is something the company started recently as a way of addressing the leaking problem, or if they’ve always been that way and I just got lucky, but the product arrived just fine and I am very satisfied with my purchase. Would recommend!

BUen producto

El silicón es bastante fácil de usar, seca más o menos en 40 minutos ya puedes tocarlo y desmoldar, no quedo ninguna burbuja y el molde es flexible, la resistencia es bastante buena.Recomiendo no usar plastilina para hacer el positivo de la figura o delimitar el molde, porque en dónde toca el silicón y la plastilina queda pegajoso y no seca.

The media could not be loaded. I really loved this silicone. It was easy to use and is a perfect beginners kit. Comes with gloves, stir sticks, little measuring cups and nozzles for the bottles of silicone. The nozzles help a lot with keeping everything clean and measuring it out well. The kit is good for a couple small molds and I would go for the biggest kit if making larger molds or a lot at once. There was no bubbles which is great since I have had a lot of problems with other bubbly silicones from Amazon. This degasses on its own and cures pretty quickly. Overall I would definitely recommend this silicone!

The delivery is lightning fast, packing is very good as well.Bottles are made of transparent plastic and additionally sealed in cellophane. The pouring set (cups, sticks and gloves) can be useful only as a “starter pack”. Beware, the scales on included cups are a joke. Use reliable measuring cup or approximately level parts A and B in two separate cups. It also helps to compare the level of remaining liquids directly in bottles after the pouring.Declared pot life is not even close to reality. In my case it took at least 4 hours before the mixture started to show some signs of setting. I still find it convenient as one can mix in more silicone if initial portion was not enough. Resulting mold is solid and bubbles-free. Cured material is odorless, sufficiently flexible and pleasing.

Well, the first mold was bigger one. Just did not dry well. Its all sticky and goo like on the sides. I did mix 1:1 with a scale and mixed it for like 10 min straight, so that should not be an issue. Its been 48h the mold is still not usable. I will give it one star for the stuff you get with it and one more star because it has no smell at all. It came in a box and it was leaking inside so the bottles were all sticky. And one would think after more then 2 days of drying the mold can be used. But it is impossible to hold in hands, as its so sticky and just not dry at all.Sorry to say this, but i am not happy with the product and how it was shipped. I will not be buying this again.
