They're ever so effective and I can really appreciate the economics of it all as well. Are they easy to make, do they ever stick in the mould like sponge cakes??

I haven't tried it with UTEE yet, but have had great success with Friendly Plastic pellets which you melt in hot water in a skillet. You can get generic pellets a lot cheaper than actual "Friendly Plastic" brand - on Ebay.<br /><br />Also, if you are going to be doing any quantity of this, it's worth getting hold of some EasiMold instead of the Ranger stuff, as the latter is very expensive for the small quantity you get. I tried to source some really cheap silicone putty but most of the companies only do the pouring stuff which doesn't work for taking impressions by pressing things into it.<br /><br />I love your keys - it's amazing how realistic we can get things these days, isn't it. I've done small keys, and lots of gear wheels and other bits and pieces, and it's incredible the detail the moulding putty will pick up.<br /><br />More people should do this as it's such fun! Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />Thanks for your lovely comment, and I'm glad you like my projects. Nice to meet another one who makes nice things from their kitchen paper rather than throwing it away lol!!<br /><br />Happy WOYWW,<br />Shoshi #7Shoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847748249571724055.post-31252040898090836252012-08-01T13:43:46.006+02:002012-08-01T13:43:46.006+02:00Oh wow!Love the panoramic view!
