Review on Crafter's Companion A20501 Alumilite High Strength 3 Liquid Mold Making Rubber, 1lb, Pink by Kelly Caballes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

RTV works as advertised

RTV rubber works as expected. Captures small details. Very durable. Definitely sticks to itself - I had to cut off part of the bottom of the mold and glue to the top to make it easier to use - the parting line didn't work as expected. I cut off what I wanted and used it to glue it on top. Be careful as this can work against you when creating a two-part form. Be sure to use a rubber spacer. Otherwise it will stick together and bury your master in rubber. I had to start over for a two-component mold. FYI, the PB blaster does NOT work! - Guess how I know this :) Micomarks sells something but I think it has an expiration date as I applied 3 coats as recommended and still had problems - that's why I tried PB Blaster. Next time I'll use petroleum jelly or maybe even acrylic paint. that should work. None of the problems are with RTV, rather with the mold maker!

NOT a 40 min pot life. More like 5 minutes tops.

Amazing indeed! One of the very best mold materials for the home crafter!
