Honestly I haven't used it as of yet but when I can I'll make a mold with it then I'll get back to you with the details

I'm still happy with mine. I have 6 molds (3 sets). Much better than the molds that are just rubber (they end up with flat spots where the sit at the bottom).

ItGo will make approx. 6-2" plus several smaller. It all depends on the size of your molds. It works really neat. However, I would definitely advise using flexible molds or if you don't, it is very hard to get out. I even tried veg. oil in the mold and was unhappy as it left a stain on the soap.Godd luck.

I agree that the ratio is difficult to measure. What I did was place an approximate 3 inch circle of the resin on a smooth surface (cardboard) and than ran a bead of hardener across the surface (the width it exits the tube). Mixed thoroughly and it was ready. Again caution as it sets up within 5 minutes.

I am not certain that I understand what you want to do. Great Stuff is a foam and does not have any real structural strength. It is just a foam like stuffing marshmallow in the gap. It will fill a gap but if you hit it with anything it will just tear and break off parts of the foam.

lay small batches down little by little this foam expands pretty quick don't worry it will bond like one when you keep adding it. pour a wavy line across the whole bottom wait till its done expanding and pour more till you feel its where you want it warning it gets warm!

If you've made your mold I would suggest finding out how much water it holds, then estimating that volume compared to the kit. I have embedded scrap to stretch the casting resin volume, but it will show unless a partial, cured pour keeps the scrap from touching outer surfaces.

Hi, thank you for your query. This tester has not yet a proper casing. We are contacting a local mold factory to see if it is possible to get a casing ready for it. With kind regards, Kevin

Winbeckler has a tutorial and others will come up if you enter fondant or gumpaste shoe-good luck its fun!One thing to know however is this particular kit is difficult-patterns don't fit and it is too large-gave up on it-look at ebay for alternative kit-much easier and better to use-its the one that comes with a styrofoam ramp

Yes, I have molding at the bottom and it works great. It takes a couple minutes to get right. Dont get frustrated if it doesnt open and close properly just work with the adjustment of the corners,after you find the sweet spot it works amazing.

This is the two part plastic resin that you pour into the mold. It cures hard. This is a link to the mold making rubber. Hope that answers your question.

You can fill your sandwiches with whatever filling you want there really is no limit to what you can use. You just have to make sure to not over fill them and keep the filling within the borders of the press/mold to keep the sandwiches from bursting and the bread from tearing and preventing a good seal. Or you could use the cutter and just skip the sealing process and make cute little sandwiches. I've tried both ways and they turn out perfect either way.

Yes, that's what I used. I added food coloring also. I had the best luck using a double boiler with the candy melts. The texture was more consistent & flowed into the molds. Make sure the molds are thoroughly cooled before trying to remove candy from molds. Have fun!!

I used a VERY light spray of non stick spray for my FIRST set of molds. It usually takes multiple sets to complete the finished process. After I freeze my mold for 10 minutes I flip them over to wax paper and refill the mold. I'm not sure what brand if melts you're using but I've used Wilton and I've never had an issue. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Have a great day.

I'd recommend at least 1:1. I always start with 2 parts thinner to 1 part. Just for a deep soak in seal. But I use d-limolene citrus base. Great, fast, safe.

I filled mine to about 1/8 inch from full....this seemed to give me more uniformly round balls. Hope this helps. I was really nervous with my 1st batch....but don't be.....it's really fun and easier than you think. Good luck. Let me know what flavored you do and how they were.

If you don't want to buy a new kit, you can use a regular round mold and shape it. if you don't know how to do it, just check Youtube for tutorials.
