DAP Acrylic Caulking in Iron Orchid Designs Moulds


Time to make some more acrylic caulking moulds using DAP Alex Plus acrylic caulking and some pretty Iron Orchid Design moulds.

First step is to cut the tip off and place in the caulk gun BUT remember to puncture the seal inside the tip. If not this will happen, the pressure will push it out the base of the tube LOL


Don't worry though I saved it all scooping out with a plastic knife and wiping into the mold.


Here is how you fill the molds using the gun properly. Wipe the edges with a damp cloth or with rubbing alcohol if desired but if any dries on as overage you can easily trim off when dry.



Then allow to dry till clear. This can take from 1-4 days depending on the size and depth of the mold design. 


These type of molds will last and stay flexible for years. 

Some of them I used on this adorable old plaster look jewelry box. 


Other projects I did in the past using this same technique are a vase and candlestick and this bread box.

    Do you ever add more silicone as it settles while drying?

    Thank you so much for sharing your tips. I’m not a fan of the paper clay (I’ve only used it in the snow flake molds) and was turned off by the results. I thought maybe I’d never use my other molds but now I will with the clear caulking! Thank you for renewing my interest in molds again.

    Thank you for renewing my interest in molds again. I’m a beginner and started with IOD paper clay and the snow flake mold. I was entirely disappointed with the results. Now I’ll try the clear caulk in all the molds I have.

    Hello, do you put corn starch in the mould prior to putting the caulking in? Thanks so much!
