Excellent Silicone
This is hands down the best silicone I have ever used. I have been making silicone molds for epoxy/resin products for over 8 years. Over this timeframe, I have used both tin and platinum-based silicones from major manufacturers such as Smooth-On, Alumilite, and Specialty Resin & Chemical that were listed as “self-degassing” as well as those requiring a vacuum chamber to degas the silicone.The viscosity of this silicone makes mixing by hand extremely easy. My first mold I mixed the silicone by hand and did not use a vacuum chamber so I could determine how well it would degas on its own. This silicone performed the best degassing on its own out of all the brands I have used, but still had bubbles throughout the mold, but not on the surfaces. I do not believe there is any such thing as “bubble free” silicone without using a vacuum chamber.I have made about a dozen silicone molds with this product that ranged in size from 6 ounces of silicone to over 3 pounds of silicone for one mold. Every mold turned out exceptional. All the molds were cured properly and were ready to demold in about 4 hours. After my initial trial of not using a vacuum chamber, I have degassed every other project as I do not wany any bubbles in my silicone molds.If you measure out your ratios properly and mix thoroughly, you should have no issues at all with this silicone. There are a few things to keep in mind when using platinum-based silicone. UV 3D resin printed parts must be thoroughly sealed for platinum silicone to cure against the item. If fully sealing your object is an issue, consider using tin-based silicone as those do not exhibit the same issues with curing and are more forgiving with mixing ratios. Additionally, if the object you are casting in silicone is shiny, platinum-based silicones will render your cast product with a matte sheen. If you require a gloss sheen, you will need to use tin-based silicone.So far this is exceptional silicone and will be my first choice from now on. Only time will tell if these silicone molds will hold up with the same amount of use as my other molds made with silicone products from different companies. I am very pleased with this silicone.

i did a thing
this is a good quality mix that set hard in about one hour at 75°F for me, i think eighty dollars is a little high considering what it is, project failures can get expensive if you aren't careful but as you may see by my photo mine was a success for the most part

Worked well.
I wasn't thrilled the first time I de-molded a pattern from this. It was more pliable than my normal RTV (sort of like one of those window-sticky thingies). However, it sinks into FINE detail quickly, deairs, and demolds easily. After five castings from two part molds, it's still going strong, so it's doing well and I've no complaints.I found by testing that once this is cured, another pour atop of it won't bond to the cured product. This is good, if you forget to put a parting agent between your mold halves (if you're doing a multiple mold), but bad if you didn't fill the mold enough. Where other brands may bind hard to cured RTV, this won't. Mix more and fill the rest right away. You've plenty of time.I would buy this again.MIXING: It's true this is more difficult to see a good or bad stir, so use a mixing container that you can see the unmixed 'marbling' easily. Again, no problems for me.

Self-Degassing Not Correct
I have used this to make some small objects. It does well, but I still needed a vacuum chamber to remove bubbles. It would be helpful if the work time was longer.Other than that I have been generally satisfied with this product.

Superior Silicone
Significantly reduced off-gassing. Low viscosity liquids easy to pour, mix and measure. Interestingly, the mixture barely expanded in a vacuum chamber, and the bubbles rose quickly and popped without sudsing. Excellent pricepoint for the quantity and quality.
