Hi Matthieu,  and thanks for taking the time to respond   

I remember subscribing to your excellent YouTube channel last year mate,  in fact,  I went back and had a look at one of your YouTube 'buttons' where you used a silicone rubber.  I think you used the 'Addition' cure silicone,  so I don't think you would encounter the same problems as I have with my 'Condensation' cure silicone.

I'm way past mixing simple 'cups' of silicone here! ................  I'm having to use 10 litre buckets for mixing and degassing.  So the 2 pour technique is dispensed with here,  as I'm having to mix and pour 4kilo's at a time!  I just make sure that I thoroughly mix the contents.

Good tip about the first cast as a test cast using the Xencast P4 resin.  But the moulds are rather big ( 2 of them ),  hopefully that won't be necessary if I can clean both these silicone moulds.

I may have to email Warren today as he may not of seen this post.


Thanks for your support mate.

Great to hear you like my tutorials, I have a couple of silicone tutorials coming in the next two weeks. 
I use AC silicone and the CC silicone. Did a pour of 5kg for the tutorials but still use the two cup system. As much as I've tried mixing everything in one cup I still have uncured silicone. on the bottom or sides. 
You could check when you remove the left overs from the cup and feel the bottom of the leftovers if it is still sticky or not
