Gear For Makers
Popular Requests
People have been asking about these 🙂
Gloves
Nitrile gloves are my preference, but DO NOT USE latex gloves as they can cause cure inhibition
Mixing Sticks
I prefer the larger wooden mixing stick (aka tongue depressors) over the standard craft sticks but either are viable.
Mixing Cups
I would recommend having at least 2 sizes of cups – a 16oz and a 32oz are good sizes to start with.
Pigments
Silc Pig pigments from Smooth-on are a great place to start. Keep in mind that these are STRONG and a little goes a long way! (I’ll update this list with some mica pigments that you can use in the future.)
Mold Release
Don’t forget mold release! If you do, your silicone will permanently bond to your mold or your master!
Smooth-on XTC-3D, Thickener, Thinner, Slo-Jo

I always recommend measuring by weight instead of volume so a scale is mandatory!
Isopropyl Alcohol
Alcohol does a great job of cleaning up liquid silicone and it can be used to sanitize your cups before using them, etc
