Made up some new molds today using cornflour and silicone Peter first put the idea in my head it is quite easy if you look on you-tube all I did was prepare some acrylic blanks with tubes in mixed up the cornflour and silicone and wrapped it around them I was going to make a video but there are so many on you tube I didn't bother How to: Cornstarch Silicone Molds - YouTube but later tonight I will start making a video on how I make some of my stamp blanks with a bit of luck LOL

That looks improbably easy and clean compared to just silicone - how flexible are the moulds? Great stuff!

They are quite flexible but also firm I think I need to use a bit less cornflour next time
I forgot to mention it took about 3/4 of a tube of silicone and about 250 gr of cornflour to make 8 molds dirt cheep at about £3

Randomly found a stash of cornflower in the cupboard today, sure my Dads got some silicone knocking around at his place, the missus has green food dye in the cupboard. Might have a hack this weekend if time permits as Woody's look too good not to try at.
