This will give you the total cubic inches of the Silicone Plastique® layer that you are going to use to make your mold. The MSDS for EasyMold lists only Crystalline Silica (quartz) as a component, which is a bit, um, incomplete. Amazing Mold Putty molds didn’t have pronounced bubble issues once the molds were older than 24 hours. See how Kristi Bowman used silicone mold putty on some cauliflower to make textures that she used with metal clay.

The proper mix ratio is 1:1 by either weight or volume however, the Amazing Mold Putty is very forgiving and will cure even if you are off fairly significant amounts in either direction. Alumilite Amazing Mould Putty - use this moulding compound to create flexible food safe silicone moulds with high detail in just 20 minutes!I still end up with a couple little bubbles, but they’re from mixing air into the liquid, not a chemical reaction. You might then want to use mold putty to make a flat texture sheet from the polymer, and in that case either brand would work well. And beyond making molds, you can use RTV silicone rubber mold putty to make texture sheets for polymer clay. It was quite pronounced with EasyMold, but it was definitely a factor with fresh Amazing Mold Putty molds as well. NOTE: I found that silicone mold putty cure is inhibited by some brands of polymer clay, both raw and baked.

Also- when molding for use with resin- I discovered that I could get a perfectly clear and shiny resin surface if, and only if, I molded an original I had created out of Kato polyclay.Once mixed, Silicone Plastique will stay workable for about 15 minutes giving ample time to make an accurate and well-made mould of almost any object. It has a pot life of about 3-15 minutes with a cure time of about 30-60 min at room temperature (73°F/23°C). Reasons given are ease of use, high quality from a platinum based curing system and the peace of mind that comes from using a product that is not harmful, toxic or emits dangerous fumes. Whether you're making bath bombs, polymer clay or sweet treats, our silicone molds can produce them fast!

Just as with Amazing Mold Putty, the open time is three minutes, the demolding time is about 25 minutes, and the molding process is identical. To provide the best mould life and the best detail reproductions when pouring low melt metals into your mould, it is highly recommended to preheat the cured mould in the oven to bring it up to a similar temperature before pouring the molten metal into the mould. In inches, take the L” x W” x Thickness of the area you will be covering with the Silicone Plastique®. If there are any imperfections in the mold it is easy to soften the mold and redo it so no material is wasted. To give them a bit of age I added a faux moss (since I can never get the moss to grow where I want it to.

The step by step instruction for Silicone Plastique® shown above is the simplest method for making a mold. So preheat the Amazing Mold Putty mould to achieve more consistent castings and a longer mould life.

Amazing Mold Putty and EasyMold silicone mold putty work very much in the same way and there are not many differences between them, especially if you’re not going to be using your molds to cast resin.
