    Does anyone recall “friendly plastic “? I used to make jewellery with is about 30 years ago as a teenager. It came in strips… thermo reactive plastic with all colours and or foil finish/patters about 2” x 6”. You popped it in hot water to and then crafted away! Fab stuff

    Great at making moulds
    I might invest in their liquid silicone
    Didn’t like the jewellery though.
    Maybe if we’re metallic colours or moulds brushed with mica
    But it’s all about individual taste.
    Well done tho. You made it look soo easy

    Hi i got a question i got a holographic mold and i found that after demolding it the holographic effect can rub off very easily or get scracthed. is there anyway to cover it with a clear coat or does it need to cure longer. Its just so beautiful but doesnt last so im scared to sell to people for it to just come off easy.

  • @carolstewart1704
    @carolstewart1704 10 місяців тому

    Do u know if this is what oyumaru is? 🤔 Oyumaru is a "plastic clay" that comes in lil blocks.. usually clear or transparent colors and u put them in hot water just like this and we press it onto things to make molds of them.. instead of pressing the oyumaru into the molds we use the oyumaru AS the molds and can use uv resin etc in it.. I hope that makes sense? 😅 I'm wondering if this could work the same way? 😊 Although I know resin gets pretty warm and that may make the plastic stuff (and oyumaru) misshapen at some point.. I know oyumaru can be used and reused as well 🥰 I'd love to know more about this! Tysm! Very fun and interesting!
