One Skull or Two... #Cre8time Creepy Cocktails with Alumilite

With Halloween right around the corner... our Cre8time party planning and holiday decor is in full swing. Today we have a creepy-cool project to share featuring a product from Alumilite that can be used to create food-safe silicone molds – custom skull ice cube mold using Alumilite Plat 10.

Alumilite is the company who produces all of the Amazing Casting Products you all know and LOVE – and also products for DIY fishing lures and rock climbing holds... and much more!

This project starts with two plastic skull party favors. To create an ice cube mold, one would want to make many cubes at a time. So first a mold will be made to cast these two skulls in order to make 12 blank masters which can be done with Amazing Mold Rubber and Amazing Casting Resin.

Watch to see more of this amazing process...

If you have trouble viewing video, please CLICK HERE.

After creating twelve resin skull blanks, these are mounted into a new mold box where the Plat 10 silicone is poured to create a new custom skull ice cube mold. This is so creepy cool!

Plat 10 is a platinum based silicone mold making rubber that when cured yields a soft and pliable 10A rubber. Plat 10 complies with FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 and can be used for making molds for delicate castings including chocolate, fondant, sugar... and ice cubes, too!

The Alumilite yellow Plat 10 Mold is FDA Compliant... meaning this is food safe! This is so AMAZING!!! With this product you can have the detail and versatility of Amazing Mold Rubber {not FDA compliant}, but with a silicone product that is FOOD-SAFE.

How would embellish your cocktails?

An AMAZING #Cre8time Reveal... the Hidden Beauty of Petoskey Stones

Beauty in nature is found most everywhere... even in hidden places. This is true of Petoskey stones, which are found in Michigan and the upper Great Lakes region. This fossilized coral has a unique geometric pattern that is revealed when wet.

While these stones can be polished to bring out it's beautiful designs – we've found an easier way! By coating stones with a thin layer of Amazing Clear Cast Resin, you can achieve a wet-stone look that reveals each stones unique pattern.

Watch to see more of this amazing process...

If you have trouble viewing video, please CLICK HERE.

**A few TIPS** After applying resin, you'll want to cover stones while curing to prevent dust from settling on the surface. After curing you may have a small puddle of cured resin on the backside of the stones. This can be repaired by sanding that part down, then applying a thin coat of Amazing Clear Cast Resin over the sanded area and allow to cure again overnight. The resin can also be applied using a foam brush or cosmetic sponges.

Enjoy your beautiful coated stones! The Petoskey stones reveal their inner beauty with this easy faux-polishing technique... ready to use in handmade jewelry and other handmade creations.

This technique can be used with other stones to bring out their hidden beauty... like this pendant featuring a triangular stone created by Rachel Whetzel.
