Review on πŸ”¨ Mold Builder Liquid Latex Rubber for Environmental Technology - Off White, 16 oz / 473 ml by Sasha Hsiao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Dries fast. Maybe too fast.

I used this gum to make a soap mold liner as seen on YouTube. The jar I received had a chip on the side of the lid but it was sealed so I didn't send it back. The chip was not in the box so I believe it could be returned and resold as is. The gum felt a bit too thick when applied but I've never used it so I didn't know what to expect. So I started making the liner. As I worked, I kept getting more and more semi-dry pieces of rubber that got stuck in my liner. I decided to just go ahead and see if everything was ok as I really didn't need the outside to be smooth, just the inside. Overall the liner was fine and it actually worked for the soap. If you use this and it starts doing the same thing I would suggest you return it and get a new can. I think the one I got was a bit dry and that's why it seemed too thick and that's why I got dry bits in the painted parts. It can only be my experience with this material so I would give it a try but be aware that this material is not cheap so take a risk.

Pros
  • Cast polyester resin, plaster, soap or wax for candles
Cons
  • No instructions
