Kinda sweet to see a dude who looks like a US Marine make candles lol. Thanks man, very helpful and cost effective!
May be he is retired US Marine😀
He talks like a marine too
I'm definitely trying this!
Thought exactly the same thing lmao love it
NOW that's what I call, how to do a video/tutorial! Thank you so much for NOT talking to your audience as-if-we've NEVER heard of the word MOLD. I also, greatly appreciate your not only getting to the point/s, but kept it clear and very concise. Doing so made your tutorial a pleasure to listen to and very easy to follow. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Straight to the point for adults. No music, no cartoons. 😊
Notes taken from video if this helps anyone:
▪︎2 tubes Type 1 Silicone Caulking with caulking gun.
▪︎8 oz. of Nail Polish with Acetone - might need to add more to mix until it's a runny consistency like maple syrup.
▪︎1 milk carton or something wax lined or a disposable container that will be bigger since we need 1/2 inch all around the sides when set.
▪︎Place object to mold in this case a Mason Jar - place it upside down.
▪︎Mark the back side on the disposable carton where the seam line will be. (This is also where you want to set the back of the mason jar or object you are molding).
▪︎Pour in the silicone mix then after filled to the top use a skewer to remove any air bubbles and flatten out the top.
▪︎When set cut the jar out by making a jagged edge cut on the back seam side you marked. Will be set when it's solid & rubbery - typically 12 hrs but check to he sure it's set 1st.
▪︎Now pop out the molded object after cutting the jagged edged seam line.
▪︎Make a hole in the bottom of the mold for the wick once sent.
▪︎Before putting in medium/resin/wax be sure to tape up the cut jagged side so the medium doesn't leak out.
▪︎For candle makers go thru typical steps of making a candle...
▪︎Used in video: Kentucky 143 Paraffin Pillar Wax from Kentucky Essentials.
Cliff's Notes! I love it.
This can only work for wax? Or can use plastic or aluminum in the mold?
@@snoopu2601 Hmmm, good question I haven't tried aluminum or plastic. I would think so but I could not say for sure based on never trying it myself. I'd say plastic would be more likely than aluminum.
@@heartmomma6460 I worry about plastic because I've been able to melt plastic toy cars in acetone (I did it as a little kid)
Thank you 🖤 I tend to forget what I've heard or read so your notes are extremely helpful 😊
Omg finally a video showing how to make an inexpensive silicone mold without using soapy water. After watching tons and tons of other videos this is by far the most informative. Thank you!
100% agreed, so many videos that just seem to add unnecessary work without clear benefits. This is fantastic!
Agreed, i just wish for metric measurements so the rest of the world does not need a calculator to fully enjoy this tutorial
@Delana Taylor Online idk where you’re buying your silicone but Walmart sells it for around $5 and the gun is $2 and you don’t need a respirator mask. You can just use a regular mask (go to your local cvs, Walgreens or krogers and get 3 free N95 masks) and maybe a fan or open a window. As for the acetone you can get that for around $5 too. You’re looking at a less than $20 material list. Not $60.
@@OzyIllustrates yes you don't NEED the respirator, as long as your doing it with ventilation, and the n95 type masks are actually only made for particles not vapor, but they may cut down on it a little, but really unless your doing making molds full time it just stings the nose a little. Also the trial version of the actual mold making kit is a not as much in volume as the caulk. For a quick short term mold it a good alternative, but the advantage of the actual mold kit is they are more durable longer term molds for longer production runs.
@Delana Taylor Online The mask and gun are reusable so in the long run it is more cost effective unless it is a one time deal making a mold, then it would be netter to just buy the silicone compound. Also it depends on the quantity used.
Thanks a lot! Finally, after watching a dozen of totally worthless videos I found a simple answer to a simple question "How to liquefy utility silicone?" The answer is ACETONE! Holy Goodness! :) Thanks again and God bless You!
Same here. Have you tried this?
I agree.
I’m with you on that 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I have tried this and it did not work for me at all. I even tried alcohol all I did was make one big mess. I don’t know if there’s something I missed but I would love to be able to do this he makes it look so simple
@@sherrilynnhill Did you make sure to use straight silicone? A lot of the silicones contain additives for various reasons so ensure the label says "100% silicone" or "no additives" on it. Same with the acetone -- some nail polish removers are half water so you're not getting much acetone. Try 100% acetone from a building supply or hardware store.
since you used a milk carton for the outer mold you could tape it and slip it back into another milk carton to use as the mother mold for extra support.
Great video .... you can also slip the mold back into another milk carton to maintain the shape with out using the tape
You had me at "fraction of the cost"! Great video!
That was brilliantly no-nonsense instructions. Thank you for taking the time to share - it is much appreciated. Regards from UK
Thanks for this!! Saved me like 40$ I appreciate this marine man. I feel like i just stepped out of candle making boot camp
This is the best tip I have ever seen for silicone mold making. I work with epoxy and have tried a few of the off the shelf overpriced options with ok results but it gets expensive, sometimes too expensive to make one off items. this is an awesome affordable option as I am asked all the time for custom shapes and pieces.
This is exactly what I was wanting. Most people are making more putty but I wanted something pourable
Thank you so much. This is the first time I’ve seen acetone used to liquefy the silicone. All the other tutorials put the silicone into soapy water. Your method seems to create a more accurate mold. Thanks again.
Those methods don't produce 3D molds.
Because the silicon is too thick
Thank you it will help me a lot! GOD Bless!
Not quite _all_ the other videos, but you're right about 99.9999% of them. They either use cornstarch or they use dish soap to make the silicone more manageable. But the GEO Sustainable channel on YT has talked about using naphtha to thin out silicone. However, he never really got into this size of a pour project like Timber Ridge, herein. If either acetone or naphtha work, then it could be there are other solvents which might work to thin out silicone caulk. The cheapest one might be 90-99% alcohol, but I've never seen anyone try it.
I would suggest that you pour silicone in only one spot, allow it to find its own way so there are no bubbles. Usually, you pour into one corner, continually pour slowly (especially thick rubber) to prevent capturing air pockets. There are many great vids to show you this technique.
thanks for sharing that tip... also vibrating or tapping under, may help the bubbles to arise
What about pouring high so you get a thin stream by the time it hits the mold??
good info, thanks!
This video is excellent! You explained everything so we'll, I don't feel like a moron anymore. And I learned an alternative in mold making that doesn't eat up all my Dawn dishwashing liquid. And not much clean up too. So Awesome. My husband thanks you immensely. He's going to supervise. So next time he can be my trusty assistant. Thanks.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. There's a woman on YT that's always using her Amazing Molds to records different creatiins and advertises the molds FOR SALE of course but refuses to show us how to make them. I thank you again
Simply amazing !… There are a lot of things to do with silicones ! Thanks for sharing.
Wow!!!!! Thank you so much for this video 😀😀😀 just found your channel. I work with resin, and never would of thought to make my own moulds this way! I love this idea, cheaper it costs me. Cheaper it costs all !!!! Thanks again.
Thank you for the diy video! I stumbled on to this video and was over joyed! Thanks for sharing.
I didn't know to use acetone to thin silicone, Thanks so much!
🤦♀️ I’ve made molds like this, but used cornstarch with the silicone... it works, but this looks soooo much cleaner of a process! Thank you!
Definitely going to try this method! Thank you for sharing 🏆
I was so confused why people used silicone rubber and not cheaper silicone sealant, but you answered it! THANK YOU! (He said a silicone tube is too thick so won't make an accurate mold)
You are a godsend. Thank you so much for this. Just what I needed ❤️. Imma try this with a resin project I’m planning.
Thanks Tim, this is great! And so much cheaper.... thank you for sharing this with us 🙂🤙
Solid tutorial, thanks. Really appreciate the acetone tip!
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you!
Thank you sooo much for this video. I should have tried this last night on the mold I made. But will use this method from now on.
Excellent idea. Thank you showing us this
Thanks for sharing!! What a cool idea!
Thank you. Very easy to follow.
Awesome video! Great teaching tool on molds! Thank you!
The zig-zag seam is so simple, yet genius. Would have never thought about doing that.
Oh wow! This was simple and informative! Thank you for sharing
Thanks for being fast paced .
That's awsome. Will save money
Great video. The best and the easiest way to make a molld. Thank you.

You are awesome Tim!
Yr ace, thanks for the grit ideas and money savers, these are get to know so we can use stuff we have at home already. 😀😀
You're the man, Tim!!
Great video! I've been looking for a way to make silicon I could pour over items to create a mold and it looks like this will work. Thanks for sharing 😊
Excellent tutorial 🙏🏻
Very good tutorial, I watched quite a few and I think your method is the easiest.
I like this video much better than the other silicone mold video with the silicone cornstarch and food coloring that gave me the flux now I got to go try this one
Did it work where you did not get sick?
Thanks for posting this!
I love your videos. Thank you!
Excellent video. Thank you. Can’t wait to try this
That's great , I've got lots of acetone , didnt know that it could dilute mastic ,
Thank you for the great information! Can’t wait to make a Silicone mold.
Best video yet on how to do this.
Also just a tip for the rest of you perfectionist out there, the zig zag technique is great but you leave an awkward seem that will bug some of us.. but a fix for that is to stay with the zig zag technique BUT on the outside half of the silicone but as you get closer towards the inside or your object, make a line straight..I know it seems impossible just thinking about right now but once you have the razor blade and you're doing it it works out.
Thank you sooooooo much!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
First time on your chanel . I love it ! You are so professional and neat 💜💜💜
Great info...thanks!
From New Zealand thank you,i make soap and was going nuts trying to figure out a way to make a Perfume Bottle Soap without wasting soap base to carve out,so now i will try your technique,Have a wonderful Xmas with your loved ones and friends
This was great! Thank you!
Great Information! Thanks!
I would have loved to see the candle you made. Great video though! Thank you for sharing!
OMG, that is so easy. I love it
Awesome. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe.
Love your videos! DIY mold king
Great video, thank you!
Thank you so much for this informative video
Honestly, this is exactly what I was looking for! Liquid Silicone.. better then the cornstarch combo! It was messy and didn't really get all the details. thanks!
Pretty sure I just fell in love with you. Thaaaaaaaaaaaank you for this video!!!!!!! You've just saved hundreds of people hundreds of dollars!!!
Thanks bubba! Very informative 🇺🇸✝️♥️
Lesson learned: DON'T use foam board to make your mold. The acetone eats it and makes a huge mess along with wasting time and material on a failed attempt.
Ooh thanks for that tip I was just about to make that mistake.
@@mstexasg6243 omg me to I’m glad I can to the comments
Great video. Thank you

Brilliant i have mould making stuff coming thankfully too expensive to buy too much this idea epic
Really thanks. Thts amazing !!!
Thank you so much
Thank u 4 posting this ! Best
Great video, help me with the silicon idea.
I've searched alot and this is the only video which explains how to make liquid and less thick silicon in a cost effective way. All other channels have been using the smooth-on product which 1) expensive and 2) not available in Pakistan.
Thanks alot. Will try this. I wonder if silicon with this viscosity can capture smaller details on objects
