OOMOO™ 30 Tin Cure Silicone Rubber, Easy to Use Silicone Mold Making Kit, Pint Unit

I buy these pretty frequently for work and it's currently my favorite silicone for making molds. I've bought about 40 so far and would say about 15% arrive unusable, either from leaking or one of the components being completely coagulated (not the fault of the shipper by any means), but it's amazon so getting replacements isn't difficult, especially since here in the US they typically arrive within a few days of ordering. If you are going to do a large pour with multiple sets, make sure to give each container a shake to make sure they're all ready to use. I've had no issues with thick pours (3-4 inches thick), just make sure you shake both containers REALLY well before use and make sure it's very well mixed and it is on solid colour without streaks or spots before pouring. It cleans up very easy, if it is mixed and spills, it peals off so satisfyingly after curing. After opening, I would recommend using it all within a week. It will cure while in contact with many things other silicones won't, like wood, polymer clay, and cured silicon of the same type(I like to use previously made molds as filler to save on material, just make sure it's cleaned very well with soapy water then let dry). I mix by weight, not by volume and typically end up with extra part B After having use all that I need from a set, I like to let the remanence of part A drip into a cup until there are no drips left, then mix with the proportionate part B and let set, then that can later be used as filler material on a later mold. I RECOMEND USING A SILICON TO RESIN RELESE SPRAY IF CASTING RESIN INTO YOUR MOLD. Definitely a fan of the quality and it's pretty easy to use. Definitely recommend vacuuming after pouring to get rid of air bubbles, not always 100% necessary but it helps. I've never had a batch not turn out so if it's sticky or doesn't set, it's most likely user error. I always let it set for 24 hours, longer shouldn't be necessary. The company doesn't like giving refunds in the event of the product arriving unusable so if a return must be made, do it 100% through Amazon and not the seller. That's about all I can think of to say about it.

I am a doll sculptor teaching myself how to make replica parts of my pieces to expedite production, and I've experimented with a few different products for casting parts and replicating them: none of them beat out the results I got with Smooth-On! The 1:1 ratio is very simple and while you will waste some product in your first couple of rounds, you very quickly begin to be able to eyeball the measurements per mold; I've made 5 now and I can pour without weighing the pieces, without wasting product. I began with using foam core and hot glue to create the vessels in which to pour the silicone onto the pieces, but it was very messy and time consuming; I now swear by using Lego bricks instead and wrapping the edges of them with Frog Tape to avoid leakage. I haven't had any issues with curing, perhaps because every time I pour I mix each part in their respective pots for about 30 seconds before I pour to mix them. I'll then use wooden skewers to mix them together for about a minute before preparing to pour. I use a small spatula to help get the silicone off the sides of the mixing cup as I pour, ensuring I use as much product as possible per batch. Two-part molds have been easy and amazing with this. Just be sure to use sulphur-free clay and make keys in the clay before making your first mold part. As for the second part, I have the best results with simple Vaseline; I use a cheap paintbrush to apply the Vaseline to the mold and get into every crevice. I've had molds ruined with mold release spray not working well enough, but never had a single issue separating my mold parts with Vaseline. Smooth-On also makes my favorite material to cast my molds: their Liquid Plastic! The drying time is very fast and I can easily sand off the seams with fine grit sandpaper and buff it with a polisher. If I need to patch anything up, I can use air dry epoxy clay. Overall, Smooth-On is by far the brand I trust and have had the best results with as a self-taught mold maker and sculptor!

Great Product. Thank you.

thank you got in good time and my project is done very happy you all did fantastic job

The product was leaking when it arrived which I did report the same day. Finally attempted to use it. So thick it was very hard to get out of the bottle. Mixing was a work out. Finally managed to make an uneven questionable mold. Resin will not cure. Super sticky on any part touching the mold. The back of the project that wasn’t touching the mold cured fine, so it’s not the pour. Waste of money on this product, resin used and time.

Product is great. very little amount for the high price. Use them all at once , othervise they will dry out soon.

It couldn't be any easier to use, and the results are perfect!
