Materials Needed: the links take you to examples I like

Small Cup of Water

Steps:
1. Pour enough cornstarch in the cup to line the cup.

2. Squirt Silicone into cup with cornstarch

3. Add dye, glow, and any other additives. Mix until it has a nice smooth consistency

4. Add approximately 1 ML of water (less mater makes it take longer to harden and more water makes it harden faster)

5. Mix thoroughly

6. Apply a small amount of cornstarch to hand then put silicone into hand and start rolling. If it's too sticky it either needs more cornstarch/glow
powder or needs a bit more time to harden.

7. Aggressively roll between hands, squish it fairly flat as you roll it to get maximum smoothness, eventually roll it lightly & focus on making it
spherical. Then carefully drop it onto wax paper / aluminum foil.

8. (optional) Instead of dropping it onto the sheet you can keep rolling for 10-15 minutes until it completely solidifies to get bouncy balls as
spherical as possible without a flat spot.

Hi unrelated but I noticed you sell Zirconia diamonds for your “Pure Diamond” rings. I know this is a full time business for you, but $300 is a little
much to pay just because it looks pretty. I would suggest a different material that makes it look less cheap but still keeps the shine.
