Making your own resin molds - 'how to' video

If you follow me on Facebook and right here, you'll know how excited I was when I went to a crop with some friends and got to play with Pinkysil to make my own molds (which I could then make resin pieces from).

It was something totally new and different for me and I LOVED it.

As soon as I got my own product I decided to try my new video skills to show you all just how easy it is to use, but well, hey, life got in the way. LOL.

So now, I've got a detailed 'how to' video so you can see exactly how it works and how easy it is...

 

Such a cool cool product. And sooooo much fun. I highly recommend giving it a go!

Hi Trina

When making molds, it really helps to put some clay or Fimo or something similar on the bottom of the item when you secure it to the base of the container. This stops the Pinkysil seeping in underneath, and you don't have to fiddle around trimming it away when you're done! It also makes for a deeper mold which is all good. Hope this helps! Cheerio.

Thanks for the vidoe Trina! I have had a play with this - I love it!!!! Will remember to pop mine up on clay next time - thanks for the tip Maggie.

Yes Maggie! Did I miss that out? I like to attach my molds to the bottom of the container I'm using. Much much easier!

Hey Trina, great vid. I bought a teeny tiny plastic jug that I put my resin into to combine (I still measure into shot glasses). Jug cost me $2.50!!! I want some Pinkysil now :)

I love making my own molds... But I use putty compounds to combine -less messy. You can get Mold putties and pinky sil at zigzag.co.nz

I have just made some molds for the first time. My brother has a mold for 'soft bait' for fishing and I want to make a mold from it. I have used Pinkysil to 'copy' the soft baits,now can I make another Pinkysil mold from the'soft bait' I have made.
