CHANGTIKEJI Silicone Mold Making Kit 148oz - Fast Cure Translucent

In this review the CHANGTIKEJI Silicone Mold Making Kit is evaluated for hobbyists and small-scale makers who need a reliable, easy-to-use silicone for casting resin, soap, candles and simple food molds. The single biggest reason to consider this kit is its balance of volume and convenience: two 74oz bottles (148oz total) of low-viscosity, platinum cure silicone that mixes easily, self-degasses and cures quickly at room temperature, making it especially useful for beginners who want to make detailed molds without a vacuum chamber.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes two bottles of liquid silicone, six mica powders, five wooden mixing sticks and six disposable gloves so you can start molding right away.
• Food grade material: The platinum cure silicone is described as food grade and highly elastic, allowing accurate replication of fine details for 3D and flat molds.
• Low viscosity for easy mixing: With a viscosity of about 1500 the silicone blends smoothly and lets bubbles dissipate without vacuum degassing.
• Fast room-temperature cure: A working time within 40 minutes and final cure in about 2 to 4 hours at 22C (71.6F) speeds up project turnaround.
• Flexible hardness: At Shore 10A the cured rubber stretches for easy demolding of delicate castings without cutting the mold.
• Broad compatibility: Suitable for resin, wax, gypsum, concrete, soap and candle casting and can be used for candy or chocolate molds with appropriate food-safety handling.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at craft hobbyists, soap and candle makers, small resin artists and those learning mold making who want a generous supply and minimal equipment needs. The included mica powders and gloves make it a practical start-up kit for DIY projects and classroom use.

Professionals who need industrial-grade certification or very fast high-temperature cures should look elsewhere, and users expecting perfect results regardless of environment should note cure time and final hardness depend on ambient temperature and mold geometry.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Large 148oz total volume supplies multiple molds for extended projects or repeat castings.
• Easy to blend Part A and Part B with a simple 1:1 mix-by-weight approach and low-viscosity formulation.
• Good detail reproduction and flexibility at Shore 10A for clean demolding of intricate pieces.
• Includes accessories and mica powders so beginners can begin projects right away.

Cons

• A small number of users report occasional issues with fully cured hardness on larger pours, so careful measuring and temperature control matter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is vacuum degassing required?
No, the low viscosity silicone is formulated to allow bubbles to dissipate on their own at room temperature, so vacuum degassing is not necessary for typical pours.

Can I use this for food molds like chocolate?
The silicone is described as food grade, but users should follow safe food handling practices and avoid cross-contamination if using for edible items.

How long does the silicone last unopened?
The manufacturer states the liquid silicone has a shelf life of over one year when stored properly.
