For a video project, I need to make a model city/cars/people &amp; have them dissolve in rain.(Controlled) I have rigid molds will this dissolve?

Yes....but you will have to let it get bone dry. The thinner you make it the quicker it will slake down into mud. You could mix in some tp...look up paper clay. Paper clay will help stiffen your models

Yes, I would think so, just like candle wax really. Fill the mold, cool to harden, then dip mold quickly into very hot water and turn over to remoe from the mold. Let me know how this works!

No. It would break. I made the molds then just stuck the two halves together. It worked great.

It id definetly moldable. However it is one of the stickiest substances on earth. An excellent mold release is PVA.

I've always used easycast products and they work well. Use mold release spray first.

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 just bought mold by Wilton and I use them on my clay too. They feel a like Environmental technology mold making product. I was so happy when I found this mold maker product and make my life so much easy. You have a great Day. carol Ritter

I love this little machine, but maybe not the best choice for what it sounds like you are trying to do. As others have said, it would be real easy to over sand and ruin the profile of moldings. To remove paint from molding, I would probably use a heat gun and detail scraper. I think that will give you better ability to remove paint without damaging the profile. Additionally, if the paint is thick, the small sandpaper pads this uses will load up quickly and you will go through a lot of them.

It's just one mold that makes half-spheres. I did have to order another one when I discovered this. They don't connect perfectly, so you might find you need to clamp them together while the bath bombs dry (I've had marginal success using bulldog clips) Cheers!

Don't know about mold. Ask the company directly (www.spincleanrecordwasher.com). They responded to a question I had. Otherwise, you'll have to experiment. Maybe a weak solution of bleach, but it might run down on the label, so you'd have to turn the record very slowly and have a dry cloth at the ready to make sure that didn't happen.

I've only ever mixed it with resin which turn out quite well, i do have a paint product as well which i discovered is simply the powder in a translucent once dry paint but the powder was gritty not dissolved in the paint which is how I found out, so I'm not sure if it would actually disolve, though you have my interest, I make fairies that glow and a snow globe type of trinket would be very interesting, I believe I will do some mixing this afternoon and relate my findings

No, you only need to place it in the hot water during the initial molding/fitting. Once it cools, it will retain the shape you've formed.

Hi tbob, for mold I use '20 Mule Team Borax'. Add one cup per gallon of water. I have brushed it on wood, cement, stucco and brick. Kills some molds immediately. Some molds may take several days to eliminate. Borax does not harm the environment. Just increases the surface's 'pH' to a level (pH8) that molds cannot survive in. There are many beneficial uses for Borax and it is affordable.

Not sure of curing process of instamorh but unless it causes heat enough to degrade the surface of the impression you shouldn't have a problem. I've used the molds to cast most two part materials and have only run into one problem with an ectothermic reaction. I could salvage the Instant Mold material by reheating, though the costly material being used for the positive was a total loss. See if you can contact instamorh to find out if there is any heating involved with the transitional state of their product, if it's not to hot you can sill use the Instant Mold.

Lots of trial and error for this stuff.... I found that the mold cannot be very intricate if it is use as THIN a coat as possible. I tried 2 molds I had to leave them out on the counter for over a day til they dried. One was shallow and dried quickly. The other deeper and took longer than a day and 1/2. Certainly didn't work like the video!! I was able to cover the mix with Saran Wrap and continue to work with the stuff over a week and it didn't dry out. I hope this helps

I did have one that mold due to rain, I went to blacktoxicmolds.com ( mold on clothes), I used baking soda, I did not want to bleach, due to the color may change. read that site. It is interesting. Hope it helps
