Alumilite 10570 Amazing Mold Putty Kit, 0.66-Pound

The stuff is amazing! So easy to work with. I use it to make a cast for molding parts of missing wood. Then I use a wood filler that hardens really well inside the mold. The whole process takes less than an hour. So simple. I wish I knew about this a lot sooner!

Works great dries fast in like 5 min to after you roll it up so get your prints fast.

I've never tried to make any molds before. So i was nervous to try, especially knowing the very short working time. I dont have a scale so i just eyeballed that A and B were the same amount and mixed best i could. Everything turned out perfect and i used it a bunch of times right away! I needed a mold for liquid clay so i needed a product that could be put in the oven. This is it! So far, its amazing.

This stuff is no joke. It works very well-far better than the Sculpey mold maker. It creates a clean, flexible mold, that produces clean, crisp clay imprints. The Sculpey molds require baking to solidify, and they definitely harden over time. I have some only 3 months old, and they are rock-hard.My first issue with this mold putty is, my box arrived open. The outside package showed no indications of having been dropped or stepped on. It was packed in a padded envelope, which was part of the problem. However, the contents of BOTH canisters had oozed out into the box, which was completely open. Is it always delivered in that state? Who thought that was a good packing procedure?As for the product, itself, it set up WAY faster than 3 minutes. The instructions say sets in up to 3 minutes. That's an exaggeration. In about a minute, the putty started to become harder to work--like malleable foam. I barely had time to get the amount I wanted blended, and the item pressed into it. So, I like it a lot for the nice mold it produces, but holy organization and timing! Have your things out and ready to go, immediately, to make the impression.Also, it seems to work best with small items. If you had to mold a larger item, there's no way you'd have it blended and pressed out in time.I noticed that it is hard to get creases out of it. I attempted to smooth them out, and no-go. The putty doesn't respond the way clay does, and there's really no time to be that picky, anyway. I don't know how people use this product to get those smooth-edged molds. I tried, and no banana.If you're OK with speed-mold making smaller molds, this stuff creates an awesome mold. If you move a bit slower, you might explore other options.

Amazing Mold Putty is totally a game-changer for me. For prototyping I would make some Proto Putty (poor-man's DIY silicone putty) and that was a complete joke next to working with this! No stink, no gloves, longer work time and arguably a thousand times better all-around experience. Although I had some sticker shock initially, I very quickly came to realize that this stuff is definitely worth twenty clams, and then some (but please don't raise your price Alumilite!). And I was astonished by how well it bonds to itself! You can add to things with ease afterward. I absolutely love it! It truly is amazing.However, Alumilite really, REALLY needs to start putting (non-permanent) tape on the caps to keep them sealed before shipping. I have bought two now, and one time Part B cap was open and the other time both were open. I suspect that this happens when they toss them in the box, because the shape of the caps can get caught on the box's top edge as it is going into the box. Fortunately, they did not appear to dry out at all.. but regardless this should be fixed for sure. Otherwise I am completely thrilled with Mold Putty!

I have used this two part mold system for years. It’s great for molding buttons, small sculpts and vintage jewelry for use in mixed media projects. Mix the two parts thoroughly and then either mold the putty around the object on a flat surface or make a small “biscuit” and push the item in. Sets up quickly and can be baked with poly clay inside or used for resin. And again and again.

Arrived open and spilling out.These containers are terrible and should have a seal on them.

I had to fill a big gap in a table I was refinishing and someone in my furniture group recommended this stuff. It was a life saver! It is so easy to use by mixing the two together and it dries quickly. My only comment is it was a wee bit hard to sand but once it was primed and painted- no one could tell there was any work done. I would hesitate to use on a piece I wasn’t painting but that is due to my lack of experience.
