Love this stuff, just wish it was VERY expensive

This stuff works great and is very easy to use. I bought several sets of these. And there was no problem getting it to work. I had a problem with the bag leaking but I think it was Revane's idiot driver who threw it through my back gate instead of going to my front door. You'll need to be quick as this is a quick setup, so make sure you have everything you want to infuse ready. It's awkward to work with, so put something underneath. It turns out a light blue color.

Pros
  • Fast Healing: 6 min viability / 30 min treatment
Cons
  • Only available in black

Just a few instructions to help you.

I've been using this stuff for years, if you leave a jar on the shelf too long it will separate and mostly crystallize at the bottom. Just use a metal screwdriver or something to stir it again and scrape off any clumps and they will dissolve back into the mixture. Failure to do this will affect curing time and hardness as you may need all of the ingredients for the mix to work as intended. Pay attention to the mixing time of the two parts, simply mix until the color is uniform and pour.

Pros
  • Flowable Platinum Cured Silicone Rubber 16A Shore
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Good for my art

Moldstar fast and moldstar slow are my standard silicones for shaping leaves and flowers. Light blue is the slow version, blue is the fast version. Fast works well when I'm in a hurry or know stuff is going somewhere before I can complete the process. However, what worries me is what happened when I ordered this product through Revain Prime through River Colony Trading. The product I received is not moldstar fast but onyx fast, a synthetic resin. Lesson Learned: Ordering this product through…

Pros
  • Temperature resistant up to 232°C
Cons
  • New competitors
