It will allow you to create an instant mold of any piece you wanted by pressing the plastic material against the piece you want to have the mold made from. After that, make copies by using any kind of putty, polyester resins or even epoxy resins. Nothing will get stuck. REUSABLE plastic moulding for all levels. A new improved formulation will allow you to have better details since the plastic will remain more time in a soft state. This set contains 4 bars and it will last forever. Dimension of each bar: 5.8x1.5x0.7cm. Weight of each bar: 6 gr.

Troubleshooting
Mold details are not sharp or clear.
Ensure the Blue Stuff is soft enough and that you're pressing firmly against the original object. Allow the mold to cool completely before removing the original.
Replication material sticks to the mold.
Make sure to use a non-stick agent such as mold release spray, or ensure the material has fully cured before attempting to remove it.
Blue Stuff is not softening in hot water.
Ensure the water is hot enough (but not boiling). Check the time. The water may need to be reheated for the duration of the process.
