Products that do the job well AND save us money are always a plus in my book!
Although I greatly enjoy using silicone molding putty in many, many projects, I was intrigued to hear there was a molding plastic out there that could be melted down after every use and reused.
Sadly, I have many silicone molds that I used only one time, or that didn’t come out well. I’d love to be able to have that material back!
In today’s video I will show you how to use Instamorph moldable plastic. I’ll also show you a way you probably shouldn’t use it!
You’ll also learn a list of pros and cons for it as compared to silicone molding putty.
Tools and Materials:
- Instamorph molding plastic
- Oyumaru molding plastic
- Pan with water & heat source
- Thermometer
- Acrylic roller or rolling pin
