Silicone caulk sticks, thus the reason it is caulk.. mold making silicone doesn't stick to anything

good article on using silicone caulk from a well recognized resource...

Not spliting hairs with you... I say use whatever you feel comfortable with... I am definately not on here trying to sell you something more than just education... bottom line is Silicone caulk was not made specifically for mold making, being an air cured product with a high viscosity sometime...

Urethane rubber in general does not ever need to be degassed and 724 is no exception at 4000 cps it is a nice low viscosity liquid... you could use petroleum jelly as a mold release just make sure to use it sparingly and not clump it on... I would still release the clay... universal mold release...

rebound is a silicone, so the processing is different...nothing sticks to silicone and silicone doesn't stick to anything but other silicone, urethanes want to stick to everything and everything wants to stick to them... it is the biggest difference... 724 is a 10:100 by weight, as opposed to...

Thing to consider about latex molds, they shrink... if you ever bought an ebay recast of anything chance are it is smaller than the original... a good cheap mold material is PMC-724... will only last a couple of years before it completely breaks down but a gallon kit is under $58...

From our FAQ section: You’ve made the perfect mold and have just poured Smooth-Cast liquid plastic into the mold to make a reproduction. The plastic cures, and you demold the piece to reveal a casting that looks exactly like the original. Your next step is to paint the casting for outdoor...

anybody ever try a lock actuator like in a car? http://www.amazon.com/Standard-Motor-Products-DLA-87-Actuator/dp/B001DCIPCY

google "cooling vest" lots of good ideas for under costume wear

Rick from Smooth-On... OOMOO or any of our products are guarenteed for one year UNOPEN from date of manufacture (lot number). If opened, we have no way of assuring any future product freshness because we at that point have no control over what the product may or may not be exposed to...

Mold Star 15 won't work with Sulfur-based clay is all... like Roma Plastelina... the majority of clays do not contain sulfur... it is a great general mold making material for hard and soft objects

Would not suggest OOMOO for this application... OOMOO is a heavily filled tin silicone which REALLY limits it's tear strength... great for one piece flat molds, not that great for more complex molds. Rebound or Mold Max STROKE are our two brushable silicones... much better than trying to adapt...

OK, you can use fiberglass cloth but it won't have the same characteristics as a laminating resin but it can reenforce what you have providing the cloth isn't holding moisture... the issue with smooth cast 300 is it is a snap cure resin which means the workablity is hard as one minute it is a...

good quote! Another thing to remember, tin silicone is usually a 1:10 mix ratio by weight (oomoo being an exception) so a gallon kit usually yeilds 12 pounds of material... plat silicones usually is a 1:1 mix ratio so something like a gallon kit of mold star 15 actually gives you 18 pounds of...
