I love your voice! It’s so soothing!! I love this snowflake!! Beautiful!!

[kimmieh]

I absolutely love how detailed you are with your tutorials. You not only show how you do it, you also give others options that work and that's awesome for people who would rather use those than what you are using. I don't do anything with resin, as I've told you before, but I still watch your videos because you are so calming to listen to and I absolutely love everything you create even if it's just a mold! Thank you, Tish, for always being amazing!😁👍🤗

[beejisback]

Tish, My Love, I just want to take a thousand of those and hang them everywhere in my house! In all my windows and all over my genie in a bottle bedroom! And all over my inclosed patio! Oh My Goodness the sparkles would be endless! Girl Friend! You did it again! You have seriously blown my mind with this gorgeous creation of yours! This Is Absolutely the most Beautiful snow flake ❄️ I have ever seen!!! I just love it!!! 💕❄️✨💕

[katherinebourke]

AWESOME! Thank you for the encouraging tutorial. I bought some Silicone a while ago to make my own molds, but have been so apprehensive about doing it so here it sits unused LOL. You've given me the push to jump in and try...thank you Tish🥰

[theonlywaytogta]

This video was helpful. Very detailed and well-paced. Also full of really great tips. Thank you!😊

[ammarkhan_]

4 like 👍 amazing content my friend 🤩🤗✌️

[barbridingsTheResinator]

Nice job! I love my electric stirring stick too. I too have had hot glue leak on me-makes such a mess.

[LisaVornhagen]

That is so great! I really want to give it a try some time. I think it would be a lot of fun to make molds. I could really use one of those electric stirrers. I have arthritis and stirring can be painful sometimes. It's cool that it's rechargable!

[victoriabutterfly]

Awesome 💕
I like to use legos for the casing when I make silicone moulds ☺️

[loriloveskat]

I just love my mixer but it's such a shame you can't get it anymore... It hadn't even occurred to me to cast a resin piece I've made! Great Video Tish and thank you....

[melvif]

Your instructions are really easy to understand. One question, what about the blue container you used to set the mold in?

[naramirs]

Where did you get the blue circular mold housing?

[shitalya]

thanks for the tutorial! It's great ♥
Have you ever made a hollow cast (and the mold for it)? like a bottle or a vase or something? I think it's kinda difficult, isn't it? 🤔

[munnak]

Hi Miss, a very helpful video thank you. I have some queries though

1) do you have to OIL the item you are casting to ensure you slips out of the silicone mould properly ?
2) have you ever done a mold for....say... an electronic item ? Like I want to make a proper toothbrush stand so that is an electrical appliance will it be easy to remove the item from the silicone ?
3) if you have mixed too much silicone...what do you do with the balance ?
4) if you want to mould something else can you MELT an existing silicone mould and use it for a new project ?

Thank you
MUNNA

[tanaconnolly]

Can you put melted crayon in the mold?

[terriclark]

I tried leggos for my base n I missed a couple of small spots with my caulk. It leaked n I couldn't use the mold. Thank you for this video.

[eyoung]

Hey so I want to make a mold of fossils for my cub scouts. But I also don't want to damage my fossils. So two questions, will the process still be the same, because nothing is really flat? And two, will my fossils be damaged?

[pmills]

Would these molds be acceptable for candle pours?

[michelle_resinrebel]

Hi Tish love this 😍, is this new silicone from lets resin? Did you like it? ❤️ xxx

[usherl]

Haha, did you make that mold for me? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
