How to easily mold plastic at home?
I need a simple way to mold plastic items (not very big) just simple things like cupcakes, and circles, and stuff like that. I already know how to make a mold, but does anyone know a plastic filler I can use? A cheap one preferably. And it doesn’t exactly have to be plastic.. just something I can mold, paint, and use turn into charms and earrings and stuff. Thank you! And please make explanations simple for me! Haha(:
Look into using some type of a resin. Fiberglass resin is a good choice. Add some chopped up fiberglass strands into the resin, pour into a mold and let dry.
