Product Description
Oyumaru Instant Mold is a fabulous reusable instant moulding material. Use it to make a mould, change it into another mould, and another mould... and so on! Re-use it over and over.
This great Japanese silicone non-stick moulding material is re-usable, so you can keep using and reusing it to make lots of different mould shapes. Perfect if you need to make lots of moulds but only need a few copies cast from each mould. It is a heat softened and reusable putty that once shaped cools and hardens instantly, and does not stick to Art Clay, PMC, polymer clay, Green Stuff, Kneadatite, Stick Putty and other common sculpting putties. This product is sometimes referred to as Instant Mold.
Oyumaru Instant Mold picks up fine detail surprisingly well. It is excellent for fingerprints. For our gamers and model makers; use it for casting replacements or making your own extra bits like: weapons, shoulder pads, armor designs, bone swords, lash whips, fairy wings, army models, nids, wargaming & faery making. You can combine several sticks to make larger moulds.
To use:
- Just put the Oyumaru block in hot water for a few minutes, and it will be soft and ready to be shaped.
- If you change your mind and want a new mould, just re-heat in water and start again! No shelf life. Can be heated and moulded over and over.
- Don't put this on your hotplate or in a dehydrator to dry your metal clay - your mould will soften and lose its shape. Only air-dry until the metal clay is dry enough to pop out of the mould.
MEASUREMENTS: Each stick is around 6cm long.
PACK SIZE: A box of 7
Also sold in a bulk 24 pack!
Please Note: This material is not food grade.

Oyumaru Instant Mold Moulding Compound
Bought this to make some small parts that were broken. Easy to use and makes molding easy. sticks are small (60mmx15mmx7mm). So for larger items will need to melt more sticks together. Great product. would buy again.

good value
molds and remolds well. No English instructions, so I'm glad I read about putting it in boiling water on the web site.

Teeny tiny!
Bought this product on the off-chance to qualify for free postage and haven't had a chance to use it yet, so can't comment on its effectiveness. To be fair, the reviews from people who have actually used it suggest it's great! However, I think it's probably also fair to comment that this is a VERY small quantity of moulding material - the Christmas Cracker prize size of moulding material really! I'm not sure why it comes in different colours because in order to mould anything bigger than a penny you would need to mix a few sticks together. But I guess that's not a major problem in the scheme of things! **RESPONSE FROM METAL CLAY** Thanks for your review and we hope you enjoy working with this product. The sticks are rather small but are more than enough to do a mould of a fingerprint, small seashell, button, coin, etc and like you said, the sticks can easily be joined together to make a larger moulding surface. Also don't forget, they're re-usable! So if you're not happy with your mould or you're done with it and want to mould something else, just drop it back into the hot water and re-use!

one is not enough
Had to buy more as I was trying to do two things at once ! It works well and picked up fine details as well as shape.Very happy.

This stuff is amazing!
We use this product to take fingerprints. The fact that it can be reused if we don't get it right first time means that it's ideal for this. The bright colours are also lovely.

amazing
I use this to cast resin and it is much better than I had expected. The detail it picks up, the ease of demoulding, the fact the same mould can be used more than once and also melted and remoulded - amazing value. and very pretty colours.

Fabulous product :)
So easy to use and gives very detailed results (with a little practice). It really is as simple as dropping it in a pot of recently boiled water, leave for a little while and then it's pliable, but the best bit is that if your first attempt at the mould doesn't work, drop it back in the hot water and then try again :)

Needs practice - instructions are vague.
I bought some of this and popped a piece into a cup of hot water (as per instructions) and then spent the next half hour trying to gather the stuff back into a useable piece again. It became so soft and stretchy I couldn't control it. At least it can be re-used, I had another go and used a shallow tin lid which cooled everything down and worked better. So, don't use HOT water. I did manage to get good results eventually.

wow, don't knock it until you've tried it
I didn't believe it until I decided to buy some and try it. Its great and easy to use. Its one of those wow products. Can't wait to try it long term. Definitely worth the money

Good Product
easy to use and no waste which is so good. I would say buy it and try it.

fantastic value, great product
For simple press moulds for modelling this is a fantastic product, the ability to reuse it over again makes it a must have for any modeller who does a lot of converting. The fact that it is almost half the price as the same products sold specifically to wargamers and modellers just adds the extra star to what would be a 4 star product by itself, can't rate it highly enough
