Jcandleattic Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Those are beautiful!! I'm an in so much awe of your photography as well! I need to figure out how to take pics. I just can't get the concept of good lighting. LOL I've been eyeballing these 3 mats for about 2 years. This might be the year I actually get them... We'll see... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00175PNWC/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=16TKMMGIYJDNI&coliid=I7FPFNOLJD71Vhttp://www.amazon.com/dp/B002HFIHV0/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_img?_encoding=UTF8&colid=16TKMMGIYJDNI&coliid=IPTCK10F2ZD01http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00175X0L8/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_img?_encoding=UTF8&colid=16TKMMGIYJDNI&coliid=I3O4ULIP803XJY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have the the 3rd one but I haven't used it yet.I just recently bought the T3 Canon DSLR - I love it, but still can't take good pics. I need to set up an area on my deck and try to use daylight as the lighting. See if that helps me. Probably not, but it's worth a shot! LOL I have the mats in my wish-list and eventually I'll get them. Seems there is always something more important that comes up though...

TallTayl Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 If you ever find a texture that you love and want to DIY, nizzy shows you exactly how here:http://nizzymoulds.com/SiliconeMouldInsert.pdfI use Smooth-on RTV silicone for stuff like this. Their latex works too. http://www.smooth-on.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you aware of any written instructions for this process? Thank you.CynthiaI'm not MoonShadow, but it's easy - just cut the liner to the size of your mold (either just on the bottom, or for it to go up the sides as well if you want - that's what I'll do) make sure it's in there pretty tight, but not tight enough to ripple or make it hard to take out, and then pour as normal. When it's ready, take the soap out of the mold, just peel it off, wash it and it's ready for the next use. If you have several mold sizes like I do, you may want to get a couple of mats, or just specify 1 particular mold for this design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonShadow Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Yippee! I thought so and am very happy that it is,CP. Will you help me get started after I get a fondant mat? Are you aware of any written instructions for this process? Thank you.CynthiaI'll be happy to help any way I can but it's really not difficult. I'm not aware of any written instructions although there may be some. I just thought of it as a additional partial "mold liner." Let's say you have a mold like mine that has interior dimensions of: 11.25(L) X 3.25(W) X 3.70(H). My mold already has a silicone liner, so I don't need to worry about the end pieces. I cut my fondant mat in a square 11.20 (L) X 10.5 (W) It's important to cut the edges straight, so I used a ruler and a straight edge and marked it with pen to cut. Then I just placed it inside the mold and pushed it down into the bottom edges. Because my mold already has a silicone liner and wasn't slippery, it stayed put. Then I just soaped as usual. HTH! Let me know if you have any questions once you get your mat. Edited January 10, 2014 by MoonShadow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
