Remember: DO NOT mix with aloe vera- the silicone will not set. Be careful of hand creams and hand wash.

  1. Create your sculpt in the clay on the plastic, bearing in mind the area in which you would like this to fit. Ensure edges are smoothed down well using sculpting tools.
  2. If you think your mould may have dirt etc on it- wipe down with acetone
  3. Place top half of a cut cup around the mould and seal all edges using hot glue gun
  4. Mix equal parts Gel A and B- We used 75g A and 75g B. DO NOT CONTAMINATE.
  5. Spray sculpt with fixer spray and let dry
  6. Spray sculpt with mould release and let dry
  7.  Pour silicone mixture onto mould and lay on a flat surface and leave to set.
