Mold 'n Pour
(Suze Weinberg  http://www.schmoozewithsuze.com/)

Suze Weinberg suzenj@aol.com
Mold n Pour is a 2 part silicone molding compound that allows lots of "open time" when making a mold. You use equal parts of the purple and white compounds, kneading them vigorously in your hands until a solid color is achieved (usually takes about 30 seconds), then place the object you want to mold into the putty. It's always best to make your molds a little bit bigger and thicker than you would assume....the mold will have better longevity if it has more substance.

Leave the object in there for about 5 minutes or until the mold n pour becomes hard. Mold n Pour responds to the warmth in your surroundings so, the warmer your hands or the ambient temperature in the room the faster the compound sets up.

Once set, remove the object you molded. It will as good as new. The mold you just made will be flexible and can be used hundreds of times, however, it can NOT be changed. Fill the mold with melted UTEE or, soap, candle wax, paper clay, polymer clay, plaster, etc.

You can dedictae a mold specifically for food and make little chocolates or little decorative butters, but never use that mold for crafts afterward
