LET'S RESIN Silicone Putty, 1LB/40A Mold Making Kit

This dries slow as expected being zero shrink silicone. It dries in about 8 hours. I have other putty that dries in 30 minutes, but the end product gets pretty hard and not really flexible. Let's Resin may be slower but it gives far better results. Flexible, strong, and most importantly, it doesn't get sticky after sitting for a month or two after molding. I have found it easy to use and clean up. I think this product is a beter value than most for the money as I tend to need les to get the same results.

Love this!!! I have been able to fix so many things!! This resin is so easy to use, versatile, it’s great for what I needed it

It's great stuff! If used wisely you can make quite a few molds for small items. One pound is plenty enough for jewelrymakers and most hobbyists. It's easy to mix, easy to shape, and easy to mash onto items to mold them. It's a very forgiving material that allows mold-making to be a casual hobby. It doesn't stick to skin very much, and it's easy to scrape and clean up even with bare hands. After mixing the putty, you get about 3 minutes of normal working time and then maybe 5-8 minutes to fix mistakes. You can also use a nonstick material like burnished wood to flatten areas and fix edges when necessary. Today is my first day using it and I've made 5 molds throughout the day. I found that an exacto or scalpel knife blade is outstanding for trimming the excess material from these molds. Use your thumb to push/roll the excess away from the mold cavity, then slice it off. This thin, folded rubber won't resist your blade at all so you can make amazingly precise cuts. In my photo I showed how many grams it took to make each mold. (I found that a good rule of thumb is to make the backing have 2-3x as much mass as the initial layer. Use pinches to blend the layers into one solid mass.) Since taking the photo, I've filled every mold with more of the silvery epoxy. Can't wait to see the results! The first two molds, I poured epoxy into them within 20 minutes of demolding the original items. Through time, I will research this material more and try to answer the following: 1. How much heat can it take? 2. How does it work with mold release spray? Overall, it's super fun and well worth trying! UPDATE: A few days later, I have an answer for the 2nd question. Mold release spray hardly seems to make any difference. But I also have some advice. You should wash and dry these molds before using them for the first time. If you don't, the oils from the silicone putty might get into your epoxy. This is especially noticeable for small or thin items. The epoxy items cast in these molds were flexible like a gummy. After a few days they did fully harden, but it was a bit nerve-wracking to wiggle them out of the mold without bending or breaking them. I imagine this leftover silicone oil is also why people have problems with UV Resin. So, wash the molds!

Used to help me repair an antique dresser and it's amazing and so fun! Feels like grown up play doh 😂 I'll be getting more and getting it for gifts tbh.

I almost gave this a 1 star and a bad review, BUT turns out I was the PROBLEM!!!! The first time I mixed it, I mixed more than what was needed. This made it hard to get out what I was trying to copy. It also created some very unwanted air bubbles and not to mention WASTE!!!! I retried it and used a much thinner covering. This did away with the air bubbles and made removing the casting a lot easier!!! I say if you want to try it, maybe mix a small amount and see how it works!!!!

This putty is excellent for making small open or closed molds. It can capture fine details relatively well, but can occasionally leave behind some cured silicone in recesses on the master item. The A and B putties are pretty oily on their own and become very soft when mixed and will remain pliable up to a minute. It cures within 15 minutes to a dry mold.

When they say flexible, expect extremely soft flexibility. If you're trying to make something thicker, it'll flatten itself out, spread itself out, intake up to 2 hours to fully cure. To test it, I rolled it into a small ball. However, it would NOT roll into a ball, it was just too soft. I can role Play-Doh into a ball simply. This is like thick glob. I tried everything, but it would not keep its shape. I finally set it on the counter, watched it flatten itself against the countertop, and over an hour later it finally fully dried. I had a half flat, half completely-misshapen ball. This "test" was smaller than a quarter to begin with. After it finally settled, funky shaped, and fully dried, it was much larger than a quarter. Just as bad, it leaves your hands covered in grease. So disappointing. But, if you don't care about any of that, it does dry hard. I'm returning it.

I use silicone putty to recreate small model parts for kitbashing. Once the mold is set you can press Greenstuff or any modeling compound into it (or make a 2 part mold) and get a passable copy for your kit bashed creations. Like any skill it takes some time, but it does work. I've used a few different brands of putty and the Let's Resin putty was my favorite to use.

Bargain, good quality product, very easy to use have made lots of moulds to broken ornaments with good results,,,

Wow I've been trying all kinds of products but this actually works. It's a putty so you can form it around the detailed bits you are moulding. It is a putty so it's not liquid like others and the model doesn't sink into the silicone. I love it and will definitely buy again.

Lässt sich supereasy verarbeiten um Konturen abzunehmen! Sehr gutes Produkt!

I purchased 3 products (see video) thru Amazon, "Lets Resin Silicone Putty" (incl. 2 jars, each 0.5Lbs or 227g), "Wycoon Epoxy Resin" (incl. 2-bottles, 8 fl oz or 237g each, crystal clear resin & hardner), and "Lets Resin Chrome Markers" (incl. 3 high gloss markers, gold, silver, copper). All products arrived on-time or ahead of schedule. I used these product to repair the raised chrome lettering on the side of my boat. I used the silicone putty to make moulds of 2 undamaged letters found on another part of the boat. I poured a batch of the epoxy resin into the silicone moulds to cast the new letters. Finally, I chromed the new letters with the silver chrome marker. All 3 products performed as advertised, and I was more than happy with the results of each. The chrome markers were amazing, producing a highly reflective surface that rivalled the appearance of the original chrome lettering, as demonstrated in the attached video.

A comparación de las otras masillas de silicón, creo que esta marca ofrece más producto por menos dinero,tarda un poquito más de tiempo en catalizar la mezcla lo que te da tiempo de lograr un molde que logre todos los detalles de la pieza, el único incoveniente es que, una vez curado el silicón es muy muy frágil, si le vas a sacar molde a figuras con detalles, extremidades etc lo más probable es que solo puedas usar el molde una vez, otra cosa, si por algún motivo dejaste algún espacio sin cubrir y quieres aplicar otra capa de silicon ya una vez curado, no va pegar, tienes que hacer el molde en un solo intento y de preferencia solo usando una misma bolita de Silicone putty, entonces hay que calcular bien el material, para que salga a la primera. Aún así considero que es un buen producto para hacer moldes que no serán de uso rudo y de preferencia figuras básicas, lo volvería a comprar sobre todo para lograr impresiones o sellos de texturas, usos de ese tipo, sobre todo de emergencia para no recurrir al silicón líquido.
