So far so good!
I have made one mold with this stuff, had a good experience, and expect to make more once I get around to designing some multi-part multi-part mold molds in OpenSCAD (because I am a nerd who would rather talk math to computers than take casts of random items around the house).This kit comes with the silicone resin, of course, but also mixing/measuring cups, wooden stir sticks (if you run out, buy some popsicles), liquid dyes for making your molds whatever color you want, a bag of LEGO-compatible bricks for building a retaining wall around your random object(s), and some plastic bags for holding in whatever leaks through the brick walls.I haven't actually used the bricks or the bags, because my 3D printed mold master had built-in walls, but they might be handy for building space ships or something. Heck, you could use this kit to take a mold of them and produce your own bricks! This will of course require a two-part mold, and figuring out how to make that work is left as an exercise to the reader. Or take a mold of your popsicle sticks so you can resin-cast your own when you run out, if you don't like eating popsicles.The two parts of the resin are supposedly equal density, which is great because it means you can measure by mass (I like to use this little scale: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003STEJ4S) or by volume. I found that the silicone will peel off of the included plastic measuring cups easily enough, once it has cured, but I prefer to wipe them out with a paper towel and then use soap and water to get any remaining residue so I don't have to worry about it, later. The same goes for the inverse: mixing epoxy or other resin in silicone cups (I like these ones: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09WDPYD27, but of course with this kit you have the option to cast your own!), which is usually the first thing you do once you have a silicone mold.

Perfect for casting
Got this to make a grogu to go with mandalorian and the kit came with silicone dye which wormed beautifully for my project and the mold box building blocks came in really handy when making the mold for his hands. The silicone has a smooth feel to it, can be sticky if you don't powder it but a bit of body powder and it's velvety soft.Since I used a silicone mold to cast silicone it was a little difficult to remold but when against rigid materials(not silicone) it released very easily. It does take a bit to get to gel then solid form but that really only matters if you have to sit there for it to cure

Lasts a long time
Just stopped in to say, bought this 3 and a half years ago, and just used some of it yesterday. Still cures within 24 hours. Not as transparent as it was the first day, but not sticky or poorly cured in any way. Using a heat gun can you cure a thin skin of this stuff in <5mins.

Amazing for mold making!!
I loved this silicone mold making kit!!! This was my first time ever making anything like this. I read the instructions on the back, then I put my item inside of my container and did the rice trick. (So I’d know exactly how much product I’d need) Then I mixed up my materials and poured it in. The box says it takes 12 hours to fully cure, but all the reviews/questions I read said it took them over 24 hours to fully cure. That wasn’t the case for me at all. I’d make my molds around 9PM-10PM at night and then I’d check them in the morning about 12-14 hours later and both of them were completely cured. Since this was my first time doing anything like this, I wasn’t sure how much product I’d actually need. I’m making larger shapes that are over 6” long, so this silicone mix was only enough for me to make 2 molds. Which is my fault because I didn’t know how much I’d need. I definitely recommend this mix. I’d purchase it again unless I can find another product with larger bottles for a better price!

Awesome silicone mold kit for using with resin!
I'm a resin artist and have a customer who wanted me to make custom beet tap handles for their brewery. As it was impossible to find silicone molds for such a thing, I decided I'd make my own. Having very little experience in making molds, I was concerned with micro bubbles and how they'd affect the details of what I'd be casting.PLACE YIUR MIXED SILICONE INTO YOUR FRIDGE for about 2-3 hours. Doing this is a complete game changer! Ever since I started placing it in the fridge, I haven't had a single bubble or micro bubble in any of my molds! No pressure pot needed!

Love this
Great silicone, don't have to wait long for it to set.

Works good for filling out a hollow keyboard
Works good no issues with it. I even mixed pigment powder in it to make it look blue which worked great. I used it to fill out a Keychron c1 keyboard to be less hollow sounding along with metal weights. You can see the weights as what look like squares all over the bottom of the keyboard. Dried very fast was use able within about 12 hours if not less. I'm not an expert on silicone varieties, but this does appear to be the higher quality platinum type. For a keyboard project like this you will use probably less than 1/2 the bottle, so plenty left over for other things, the weights took up a lot of the space too that would have required a tiny bit more silicone without them, but still should have plenty left over if you don't use weights.

Failure to cure properly
Followed the instruction on box, and lead to two failed molds. The inside of the mold was still wet and sticky even after letting sit for 12+ hours. Save yourself the time and headache and get a different brand.
