Review on 🌱 Mold Star 15 Silicone Rubber for Slow Moldmaking - Trial Unit by Diane Collins

These are great kits for beginners and intermediate riders. If you need a small quantity to test, this is the perfect way to buy. I particularly like the slow cure time of this silicone as I don't have to use a pressure vessel or degasser to rid the mold of air bubbles.

I need over 100 wands so I ordered a gallon of resin and more silicone so I can cast 4 at a time.
