For that, you'll just need to get more traditional mold-making silicone. Check out all of the products that smooth-on makes: https://amzn.to/2NZbv7T, there is also a kind of brush on mold making material that's pretty great to work with: https://amzn.to/2SaBxZe

I think for that, you would actually need to cast into a plastic mold, silicone can't be cast into a silicone mold. If you know someone with a 3D printer, you can make a two-part mold with one of those, then buy the right kind of silicone that would pour and make that shape.

This project came out great, good job! For future Instructables, it may be helpful to include more text with each step so visitors to your article will be able to follow along and reproduce your instructions. Also, during your next build, try taking some close-up detail shots of your project so that we can see exactly where screws and parts are going.Keep it up!

I really like the fingerjoint/epoxy joint technique. Bummer it didn't work out like you expected, but you've got me inspired for future builds!

Hey there! So it looks like you helped us find a bug in our DM system and my messages aren't being delivered to you for some reason. Can you email me directly at audrey@instructables.com?

A tape jig for the crank mod is brilliant! Great work, Sam!

Hey there, I've tried to email and message you a couple times about your win in the Game Life Contest - could you send me an email or a DM? thanks!! :D (this project is still totally tops. i bought some skull knobs and am currently trying to figure out what i should mount them to.)

Thanks for reading my i'ble and providing feedback!

Huh! That's a cool way to make a product lighting box! Just make sure the lenses of the LEDs have some diffusion so you don't end up with lots of little angular shadows.

Hmmm, That makes sense. It's holding pretty strong for now, but if it ever gives out I'll swap it.Thanks for taking the time to read my i'ble!

I never knew about these connectors! Kudos to you for being brave enough to make these mods!

Hey thanks for your appreciation! The wavelength of the UV is ~400 nm, based on the Amazon description. I have completed some cyanotypes with this, and I'm close to the results I want to make an Instructable from. That's the next project I want to publish :D

The robot ghost is so cuuuute! Thanks for including the STLs - when I get back from Maker Faire NY, I'm going to print a glow in the dark ghost ::if emojis worked on Instructables, I would put a ghost emoji right here::Thanks so much for sharing this awesome project!

Yeah! I've seen people make buckets where they just stick the whole strip around the inside circumference swirling down, and cure small pieces by inverting the bucket over the cast.

The counterweight you added is so simple and effective! It's inspiring to see such incredible projects like yours, thank you so much for sharing!

This came out so well, and I am now going to go try and find the skull knobs! SO GOTH! I LOVE IT!

The effect of the bowling ball's resin in the hourglass of the spider came out so well!

Holy smokes! This project is so cool! AND SO WELL DOCUMENTED! Thank you for sharing your process and creativity with us!

Hey there! This is a cool project! We've been trying to ship you your prize for your win in the Planter Contest :P Send me a DM so we can complete your shipment!

This looks like fun project to do with little ones to teach them some great making and mechanics skills!

What a fun project to do with little ones!

YES! I just revived my sourdough starter for the sake of making yeasted waffles. Now I have a recipe to work from! Thanks!

You're a great DIY storyteller and writer! I enjoyed reading your tips on how you went about this fix - and CURSE THOSE SPRITES!

Huh, I've never had that happen! I wonder if it has to the with the temperature, or if not enough water was worked into the goopy mixture. I am yet to try the silicone and corn startch technique, but I just ordered stuff to try it!

This is so great! My buddy and I have been trying to come up with a solution for how to put a semi-permanent shade structure in their yard, I just forwarded this to them! Thanks for sharing!

I've found that this mold is pretty difficult to tear, you should be able to stretch it a little bit to free your part.

I have not tried that yet, but there are some great tips on how to do that in this free mold-making class! https://www.instructables.com/class/Mold-Making-Casting-Class/

Reply Upvote This project came out so well! Thanks for sharing it on Instructables. This mandolin reminds me that I'm gonna need to buy more clamps before I try to construct my ukulele kit!`

I would love nothing more than to go flex on everyone I know. <3 This is an AMAZZZING instructable! Well thought out and incredibly well documented. Thanks for sharing such an inspriing project!

What a cool effect! I'm fond of how the water distorts the light and makes a frame around the image. This is a perfect first Instructable! Great job!!

This project came out great! Thanks for sharing your build on Instructables - I learned some good tips about routing face holes for speakers too!

This bag came out so beautifully - amazing work! I definitely picked up some inspiring tips in your documentation too - well done :D

This is a really good idea, and your end product looks fantastic!

Hey there - I actually just added this edit to the top of the Instructable :D This is not a safe method to use to make molds of your skin, but you still have plenty of options!To make a reusable mold from somebody's body I highly recommend the SmoothOn Body Double Silk product, if you care less about repurposing the mold, or are just making a one-off, consider using alginate.

I included the PDF which you can import as a DXF in any laser program. Good luck!

That's why now I reccommend using an LED light bulb :D otherwise the string will bend and move out of the way, but its just tricky.

This is a perfect little project for those with small studio spaces! I love it! Thanks for the inspiration. I've been needing a better solution for sawdust while sanding :D

Yay! You finished in time for the Stick It Contest! This came out so well, I desperately need a tape dispenser for my work bench - thanks for the inspiration!

Heya, you can cast anything but food into this mold, it is not safe for food consumption

Hmm, my only concern is needing to register the mold back together once you have cut it in half. Have you explored the mold making and casting Class on Instructables? Even if you don't follow along exactly with it, it will be good to see some other mold making basics before you attempt this experiment.https://www.instructables.com/class/Mold-Making-Casting-Class/

I saw your video on instagram of how you removed the wrap and was wondering what you were going to do with the drum shell. Great work!

OMG I saw this post on your twitter feed and was salivating at my laptop. Thanks for sharing this! Now to go find a friend with a smoker....

WHAT A COOL INSTRUCTABLE! I feel like I just learned so much. Thank you so much for sharing Anette and Smirnoff's amazing journey!
