Silicone Putty - 400g Flexible Silicone Mold Making Kit - Easy 1:1 Mixing Ratio Fast Curing Moulding Putty for Reusable Moulds, Casting, Resin, Soap & Candle Making

I bought this as a quick purchase for a friend who had just had their poorly and elderly cat put to sleep. The idea behind it was to enable her to take paw impressions that she could have castings taken from at a later date (vets and pet crematoria have a good little number going regarding this area, and sting a lot of people who are at a very vulnerable time in their lives when they lose a much loved animal and want to keep as much as they can as a memory). My friend wasn’t well versed in using this material so I advised her over the phone whilst she was with her pets body at the crematorium. She successfully moulded her cats paw. The process involves mixing both A & B components (these have the consistency of ‘silly putty’) in equal amounts until the colour becomes a uniform blue with no streaks. You have a working time of about 3 minutes before the compound starts to cure. After 10 - 20 minutes you can remove it from the object and you’re good to go. It’s incredibly easy stuff to use and it does the job when you’re in a tight spot and need to make a mould. When you’re mixing, remember to mix thoroughly and ensure that there are no streaks or separated layers. You don’t get a huge amount of stuff in the kit, but it’s enough to do small-ish jobs. I have already cast ‘fast cast’ resin into this with no issues, and no release agent was needed. The first image shows a successfully mixed silicone and the impression capabilities. The second image was the first attempt where the silicone wasn’t mixed thoroughly enough, and layers weren’t merged correctly. I’d recommend this as a reliable product to create a mould in a hurry.

I found this a great products for my crafts of making mini's for my dolls, very easy to use, just weigh equal parts of blue and white putty's and mix together well by kneading between your fingers, then shape into a ball and press the item you want to make a cast of gently into it. It sets hard after about 20 minutes or less, it is not very flexible when set but that maybe down to how im using it. It's a solid blue once cured and does seem it pick up the details of the item well. I only make small things but have made quite afew and still have plenty left to make more so for me it seems good value for money. It seems to be a good versatile product and has good strength once cured

I used this to replicate a Christmas decoration. The instructions were easy to follow and I seemed to have a good 10 minutes working time (even though the instructions say 3-4 minutes). The mould was fully set after 30 minutes and worked really well.

Takes a clean, clear impression. Slightly hard and so I wouldn’t use it on any deeply undercut work. Expensive for what it is.

Great product and easy to use, highly recommended.

This stuff is amazing, mess free and very easy to mix together and as a Glass artist found this to be extremely user-friendly. This was really useful to enable me to create small glass elements that I would not be able to find elsewhere. I made made a fish themed dish and the fish were made from a mould made With this product. I could not fault it fantastic for creating unusual shaped moulds that would be beneficial to people who create resin objects and who are looking for something to make additional elements with per say.

Although it mixed well if you follow the instructions, I tried to mould around an object I wanted to replicate and pour resin into. The details did not come out well. I will try again but would not re-order.

Works a treat.
