  • Great Items!

    I want to make bakery molds with special designs. My only concerns is if this type of silicone is safty for making food molds such as cake molds or cookie molds. I need to use the mold for baking cakes.

  • We cannot say whether this silicone is safe or not for food contact because it has not been tested and certified safe by the FDA.

  • can this silicone compound be used for molding food? i want to make a popsicle mold but was concerned about the material being "food grade". thanks!

  • No, it is not designed for food contact.

  • That was an excellent how to vid. Bombs away!

  • "Bombs Away" method, lol.

    Great instructional video :)

  • Wish I had the funds to buy some of this stuff. I've got some great ideas for some projects now. Awesome tutorial video!

  • Platinum Silicone combines the advantages of both in that it does not require a mold release and does not have bubble issues. However, it is the most expensive.

  • The video "Introduction to TAP Mold Making Products" explains many of the differences. In a nutshell, Silicone is more expensive and requires special techniques to remove bubbles. But, it does not require a mold release in most situations. This is a huge plus.

    Urethane is less expensive, tougher, does not have bubble issues, but requires a mold release at all times.

  • bombs away. good tutorial...
