**Important advice with UPDATE**
It's very important to note that since this is platinum cure the mixture cannot touch anything containing sulfur before it's fully cured, even tools that have touched tin cure in the past or anything containing sulfur, it will inhibit The cure. You must make sure that if you're setting in clay for a two-part mold it must indicate sulfur free... Even my "sulfer-free" Sargent Plasticina inhibited The cure, but that may be due to cross-contamination***Also very important to note***Most quick dry adhesives will inhibit The cure including super glues that contain cyanoacrylate and hot glue. Exposure to the adhesive side of most tapes including duct tape and electrical tape will inhibit the cure as well... So basically everything that I use, or have you used, to construct mold boxes and affix vent sprues.However, I'm still going to give this product five stars, simply because my failures have been due to compatibility issues. But this silicone is precisely what I've been looking for: ultra low viscosity to get in those teeny tiny nooks and crannies, extremely high flexibility to stretch and yank those little suckers out, so INCREDIBLY easy to mix and pour you could just bang out molds in seconds, an abnormally High potlife for such a QUICK cure time, and NOT ONE BASTARDLY BUBBLE COULD BE FOUND!!!!*UPDATE*Adhesives that can be used: hot glue, but it MUST be clear, CA/cyanoacrylate super glues, but the must be FULLY cured.I purchased some sticky wax adhesive, wax sprues, liquid sonite wax for coating porous mold box materials, and sculptex sulfer-free modeling clay. Also tried some srues i made from 2pt epoxy clay. All of the aforementioned worked beautifully!Now I have some super stretchy, tear resistant, molds that were a DREAM to pour!BEST PART... i cast them, along with 3 other previously made molds (different brands/types) all with ArtResin brand resin and BBDINO was the only mold to produce TACK FREE figures in 12hrs!

Worked great!
I had a non mold-making project that silicone rubber seemed perfect for. The BBDINO did not disappoint. The bottles were easy to open and easy to identify. I've never worked with silicone rubber before but this is the first 2-part anything I've used that didn't make me dizzy while working with it; no odor. It mixed and poured easily and was definitely set by the time I was able to check on it, 6 hours later. Thanks BBDINO!

easy, good result
odorless but keep in mind it still does "off gas". use good ventilation. my studio is 20'x20' but i opened a window anywayit's a a bit thin so make sure your mold is tight

Hardness seems off, but otherwise great.
It says it has a shore hardness of 15A, but it feels more like 30A, which is a harder, more stiff silicone. I was expecting something softer and more flexible and ended up destroying my sculpts when I attempted to remove them from the mold. (They were made of sculpey, so they kinda turned into a crumbly mess.) Besides this I plan on buying this product again. The tear strength is impressive. It stretched far more than I would have thought before breaking. I cannot attest to it's degassing capabilities as I used a degassing chamber. The pot life does seem to be about 30 minutes as stated on the instruction paper it comes with, but I would try to finish pouring and degassing in 20 minutes as it seemed to start getting thick around the 30 minute mark. I do feel that I will get a lot of pulls from these molds. Just remember not to cast anything that contains sulfur. Platinum silicone hates sulfur and will never set up. And don't pour platinum silicone into a tin silicone mold. Platinum silicone hates tin silicone. And if you are making a silicone cast from a silicone mold make sure you use a release agent. Learned all this the hard way. Anyway, enough lessons, this is a good product for the price and I recommend trying it.

Best brand, very reliable
The texture of my molds was perfect, the curing time was only five hours and I live in a tropical, hot, and humid island. The package instructions were clear and understandable, and everything was packed neatly. It is not sticky at all and all the shapes were perfectly formed, nothing sticks to the molds when I use them.

Reproduction is very good and the form is reusable
At first I was reluctant to try this product after reading some reviews. However I mixed the two part solution thoroughly then because of the reviews I mixed it some more which I believe is critical. I constructed a 4 x 2 1/2“ box that was 2 1/2 inches deep put a quarter inch of clay on the bottom and rested my statuary head on top of the clay. And then poured the mixture slowly over the statuary head occasionally tapping the box to remove bubbles. If you use a wooden box the way I did you should tape it because the material is almost as viscous as water and will leak out..... not very funny. When the solution has solidified I turned the box over removed the back, remove the clay and gently pulled out my plaster of Paris copy. Excellent detail.

First time making a silicone mold
This was the first time I've used a product like this, and it was simple & easy to use. For the pour I made a frame of some scrap plexiglass held together with hot glue (on the outside) and I was reproducing a simple shape I had cut out of wood. Neither the plexiglass nor the wood stuck strongly to the silicone, they released easily. The mold once set was solid, worked fine with epoxy resin (which also released easily), and even reproduced the wood grain on a spot I hadn't sanded down completely.

Easy to use but hard to estimate how much silicone you need
I was trying to mold some fruit pieces and I had one deeper mold and two shallow molds set up. I mixed the silicone up, and it goes together easily. Unfortunately I didn't have enough to mix the deepest mold which I tried first. So I poured it into the next deepest, and it still wasn't enough! SO I only got the most shallow out of the whole kit. It's been a long time since I tried making one of these. Great product but now I am torn if I should re-order or try to find something more cost effective.
