Food grade silicone mold is safe and easy to use. Jabba the Hutt never drank blue milk on Tatooine without it having one of these ice cubes floating in it, and neither should you! Whether you're making Ice Cubes, or creating masterful works of chocolaty art by using this item as a Chocolate Mold, your friends and family will be mightily impressed with your use of the force. Or adding cocoa powder, or powdered sugar, there are special edible transfer sheets that are often seen on the more expensive Godiva chocolate.Being a Rebel Smuggler is a dangerous job! Just ask Han Solo! Check out this awesome Ice Cube Tray / Mold. Some other ideas include making a hollow cast, much like chocolate bunny and then pouring ice cream into the hollow cavity. The possibilities of chocolate making are unlimited. Sometimes massaging tools are just enough. Also a vibrating source will let the bubbles flow out. In order to avoid the voids just use the spatula to force the chocolate into the small spots. I noticed a few air "voids" on Han Solo and these are just really small spaces that are hard for the chocolate to flow too. Mom's life mask was given as is and she loved it. Since I gave it to my brother early I now plan on making a wrapper with graphics for my brothers birthday present.
It's going to need post curing in a oven but use the instructions for your specific silicone product.Īfter a few hours in the fridge Han Solo was ready for Jabba, I mean for demolding. Let it cure for 24 hours then you remove the cured silicone from the foamcore box mold.
Best way is to start at a corner and let the silicone flow in/onto the mold and not pour directly on the mold. ' Pouring silicone' You're going to pour in your silicone. Double check your silicones instructions. I just poured the complete bottle into the silicone tub. The particular food grade silicone, the Smooth sil 940 is easy to mix. This will make the mold strong and less prone to warping. Using the glue gun then glue a box around the object leaving a quarter of an inch to a half inch all the way around. You want to create a seal all around the base of the object so silicone does not flow under the object.
First using your glue-gun, glue your object to be molded onto a flat foam core peice. I however had my Legos maliciously taken away from me at a very early age so I'll be using foamcore. Or even cooler you can use your old Legos to make a box mold. You have to build a box around your object out of foamcore. Complete with chocolate AT-ATs and powdered sugar for snow! And if you can cast any object you can mold anything into chocolate! Someone out there is already working on a battle of hoth scene in chocolate.

I suggest you do the same to make the process full proof :) Especially on mold making! Remember you can cast any object. You will need the following materials: -Han Solo in Carbonite toy -Foamcore (it's usually white paper with a foam core) -Glue gun with a few sticks (Big tip here, you can use Legos instead of the foamcore/gluegun method, I'll explain later) -Food grade silicone ( if you ever wish to use food products in the mold, otherwise regular silicone will work) -Baking chocolate I watched all of the videos available on Tap plastics website before I even started. Here is the same product, different company, on ebay: Find some place near you that sells it, Tap plastics will be carrying it soon. Just googling "food grade silicone" will find you what your looking for. The kit comes with complete instructions and there is a phone tech support in case you get lost. But it's easily enough to do a few molds. The specific product I used was Smooth on Sil 940, sampler size. The main difference is that food grade silicone is non toxic and is platinum cured versus tin cured. There are different grades, cures, durometers, (how flexible it is)pot life, (how long you have to work with before it cures) So you must double check each products specifications. There are many brands who have different names for it.
