If all else fails, read the instructions.
You were almost ready to say the shore flexibility of what you were using for the silicone but end up moving onto something else in your conversation. The silicone you are using is it shore A 30
Hi Ash, can you let us know which shore rating this silicone is?
I love your video's :) Some great information!
What do you use to seal your jars to make them heat resistant?
Thank you for making an informative and well-paced video!
So informative so helpful thank you
You can put the original jar back in the mold, put the black side casings back on, lay it sideways on your work surface & plane the bumpy end off with a very sharp knife/razor/slicing apparatus or possibly even a hot knife-type of cutter. That should help you balance out the instability of that mold
I wonder why this channel has less subs!!!!
Hi Ash! Can u please tell me what silicone you use (the name of your silicone, company name)? It will be very useful for me and I really appreciate your work and your help!
Hi Ash! Can u please tell me what silicone you use? It will be very useful for me and I really appreciate your work and your help!
Can I buy one of these molds from you?
Thanks for this video. I like your candid personality and it's nice watching you. I was wondering if you tried inserting a cylinder in the middle of your model container before adding the silicone, to reduce the bulk of the material on the inside of the finished mold. I would love to see that tested out. I hope you see what I mean but i'd be happy to elaborate more.
Μετάφραση Ελληνικά παρακαλώ ❤
Which silicone brand did you use?
Hey, great job. I was wondering one thing. You poured silicon also inside the jar. However, in the final silicon mould, there is a gap the top of silikon so you can easily take jesmonite jar out. How did you do that. After making silicon, did you cut it, or while making silikon did you put something to make?
Hi Ash. Which "shore" did you use, because you talked about it in the video, but you did not mention the shore rate ;-) Thanks, and good work!
Nice job keep on!
Hello! Do you know if silicone stick to other silicone ? I was making two silicone molde and Run out of silicone on the second and wonder if i make new silicone it sticks to the one that is dry. Thank you
Thank you for being so real, and sharing the flaws, as well as the accomplishments!
Thank you so much!
@@ashkcreates is there a name for the 3d print molds you made? I need to find them and make them.
Awesome job!! Looks very clean to me, and should make beautiful vessels. Thank you for sharing. Blessings!
I have seen other people put the poured mold into the vacuum chamber to force the bubbles out. Would that not work for this?
Hi there! I haven't had spare silicone to test this out yet, but I might try it someday. In theory it should work, I've just been concerned about my master object and frame collapsing under the vacuum. Stay tuned for when I eventually test it though!
Great video, you are hilarious
Hi Ash, new in the business and wondering if you can do an a to z video of how your studio is organised, to making the candle jars and pouring the candle with fragrance. I'm confused as to how to best do my set up, calculations etc.
Hi there, that's a great idea! Honestly I'm still figuring out my own organisation and processes despite doing this for over a year. Might be a fun video to make still showing where I'm at though and then seeing how it evolves a year from now!
@@ashkcreates either way, love the energy and knowledge you bring ☺️
that is a GLOW UP
❤❤❤
Ah, I just realized that I forgot to order a mold base to keep the shape of the mold 😂. You should sell them!
Oh no! I might consider doing that once I'm certain that they're a useable product - stay tuned!
So nice bro… thank you
The falling cabinet piece gave me a good laugh😂
Omg that is so impressive
This video is great. Thank you! Do you have a video on how you made your molds and what type of silicone you used?
Hi Ashley! Really late reply but in case you'd like to view it I'll link the video I did showing how I made these moulds: ua-cam.com/video/G_qDArgeZG0/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared&t=431
Can you do a video on what are these cold pressed sugar soaps?
Hi there, I haven't tried it myself but I think others have! Sugar will definitely cause the soap to heat up more so that's something to keep in mind when adding it as an ingredient
Hi... love your videos. Have you ever tried putting the mixed Jemonite in vaccum chamber. Please try it if you can and let me know the results.
Hi there, I actually haven't, but might be something to try out when I have the time! Thanks for watching
This was so helpful!
I love being a part of so many of the ideas i think my fave was the one were all 3 of us did an apartment each. I still have it in my sims gallery and use it to this day.
I’ve been really loving the trip down memory lane!

Thanks for watching! I hope this series gives you a better idea of my creative journey - if you haven't seen the first part of me reacting to my older gaming channel check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/8Aa6qyEldI4/v-deo.html What was your favourite moment from this video and which format should I consider exploring again? I hope to get back into making creative gaming videos once I have a little more spare time on my hands!
Thank you so much for this awesome video. I have been searching for it for a while now. I wanted to order from Amazon and there are different types -soft, strong, semi-strong… which would be better for the molds? Thank you so much.
Hi there! I tend to lean towards softer silicone for my moulds because the shape of my jars need me to fold the mould over itself in order to release the jar. For example I used a Shore 20A silicone for this specific mould. Just make sure that the walls of your mould are thick enough to support the weight of itself otherwise it might have a chance to misshapen since it is a softer material. Best of luck!
Hi Ash, I want to make a mold just like this for candle jars. I’ve been searching for so long for a flexible silicone that can be folded back like this. Can you please provide the shore rating for the one you used? Thank you it would be such a help :)
Hi there! It's Shore 20A for this specific silicone. Hope that helps and best of luck with your mouldmaking!
hey Ash! Wow this video is soo necessary! I could relate to it so bad!! 😮💨it really made me reflect on the things I already learned along the way as well even though I still didn't quite figure out the way around it too🫂 Thanks for sharing!! I really admire your work and I have learned tons from the couple of tutorial videos you did! I just wish you the best!!
Hi Marina, that's great to hear and I'm glad what I talked about helped you! Thanks for sticking around :)
Ummm. Time flies huh. 😂
It took me a good 29 years to figure out what I wanted to do creatively in the long run. And you know what? It took me another 3 years after that to turn it into a full-time gig. Along the way, I stumbled, doubted myself, and spent money on things I thought were important. But you know what else? I wouldn't change a thing about it now. It wasn't a walk in the park, but when you pursue something you're truly passionate about, it's worth every bit of effort and time. So, keep at it, my friend. Pursue what you love, and although it may take a while, you'll get there, I promise. By the way, Ash, I used to believe that I had to be flawless right from the beginning. That mindset held me back, preventing me from taking the first step. But here's a revelation: there's no such thing as a perfect time to start. You can begin with nothing or start small. The journey itself is where the real enjoyment lies. Waiting for perfection robs us of purpose. So, don't overthink it-just start! Embrace imperfection, and you'll find fulfillment along the way.
Omg I completely forgot about some of this stuff. 😂You were always so creative and put 110% into all you did.
Thanks for watching! Have you run into moments of being stuck on your creative journey? Let me know what it was like for you and how you overcame it!
I been using pvc pipe and pam cooking spray.😮 Works great.
Very interesting! I've been meaning to get round to trying the PVC pipe method, but hearing someone use cooking spray is a first! Now I have to try that too haha. Thanks for sharing!
What a trip down memory lane! If you'd like to explore my old videos from GamingLife, check out this playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PL7Ua6HakLZKADiKuROwAR61nDgb4ckFxr.html Which video did you find most interesting? Let me know and thanks for watching!
Great video. You went into so much detail. Thank you for being so thorough.
Went to far.
Very nice. I like soap. I use it to shower.
Streaming once a year does wonders for that less draining feeling
👀
Thanks for watching! This video really just scratches the surface of the world of soapmaking. If you would like to learn more, I highly recommend the more in-depth and technical tutorials from Bramble Berry. I really leaned into the content when I was first learning about this craft, so if you would like to learn more about exact quantities and ingredients to make your own soap check out their Basic CP Soap recipe here: ua-cam.com/video/VKZI7X-UIe8/v-deo.html What aspects of soapmaking would you like to learn about in greater detail?
