There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The instructions were extremely clear and simple to understand, aside from having to work quickly and mix the two colors together, it was easy to use repeatedly.
I'd also like to mention that, as I made D&D dice for chocolate molds, the small details (like numbers) came out very well and there was no bubbling on the chocolates. I also was able to make 2-piece molds due to how simple it was to use.
Would (and probably will) definitely buy again in the future!
However, as many other stated...you do not get very much at all for your money. You can see in my photo that the containers are not even half full and the containers are small to begin with. It is an alright amount if you are learning to use it but it won't get you very far.

Takes a little bit of practice to get it right, you have to press in your blank and then don't mess with it or try to manipulate the mold around it, because it becomes stiff so quickly any additional kneading around the object can result in the putty actually pulling away from its surface unbeknownst to you.
CAVEAT--this mold does take 24 hours to fully cure despite what the packaging implies
As the enclosed literature states, the mold should be stiff enough to release within 25 minutes, but I would only recommend pouring your resin at this point if it is a FAST setting resin. The putty will continue to release gasses over the next 24 hours, so if you try to pour in something like EasyCast's epoxy resin you'll end up with something completely full of holes
I love it because there's a ton of it in this kit, and I can use it a little at a time. It's easy to use, mixes easily, and hardens up quick.
I hate it because when it's dry it's not flexible enough. I wanted to use it with polymer clay, but I can't get my pieces out without damaging them. I was hoping for a less stuff silicone, I suppose. It would work well for flat pieces, not 3d ones, though.
My wife had broken a hand off a Limited Edition Lord of The Rings statue at home and then lost it. I was able to mold another perfect replica by using an identical statue. I then used resin to cast the new hand, glued it back on, and painted it.
I would moderately 'wrap' the mold once it begins to set, giving you the tightest mold in relief.
Don't forget if your mold has very narrow or very intricate features in it, use a vibrator (strong 'personal' vibrators that women use should work adequately) from the beginning of the pour to vibrate the resin in the mold slightly, getting all the tiny voids filled.
Why they made it purple, I'll never know.
After that, I popped out the plugs, pushed/pulled the headphones out of the silicone, drilled a hole to allow the headphone sound to pass, pushed the headphones back in, and I had a good set of custom headphones.
The resultant earplug is very similar in texture and rigidity to the Radians custom earplug kit, which runs about $20. I would estimate that I could make perhaps five or more pairs of earplugs from the 1/2 pound of Easy Mold. I also have a pair of professionally made custom earplugs, which I had done at a motorcycle show. I would say those are slightly more pliable and have a slightly smoother texture than either the Easy Mold or the Radians kit. However, I'd say the Easy Mold option is plenty good enough.
