Then pour it on some non stick, crinkled up foil. It won't be absolutely clear, but good enough if you can't get . I'm working on my bottles right now : )

Thank you!! I will try the sugar and corn syrup...how many minutes did you heated in the microwave??

Just curious for those that used the Mold Builder - why so you empty the bottle out and then cork it?  If you kept the original cap on, then you wouldn't have to make a new one out of fondant. 

 

I just tried to make the mold out of Amazing Mold Putty - it is in a 2/3 lb. box.  Not knowing how much I would need and you have to work FAST (less than 5 minutes total), I used the entire package for both compounds.  I was disappointed that it did not cover the entire bottle (minus the underneath part of the bottom).  I kept the original cap on the bottle (filled with beer).  As I smoothed the product over the bottle, It kept tearing at the top and neck.  If there is a next time, I would use one and a half packages of this product.  I did cut it because it is not as flexible as the Mold Builder appears to be.  I'm hoping when I pour sugar it will be a process more like makeyourownmold's and I won't have to spin it while pouring. 

 

Hopefully tomorrow when I pour the sugar it will look better.  I wish I had had ample time to order makemyownmolds kit.  It would have been worth the money for not second guessing everything.

 

CC - how far back can we access links?  This thread started in 2007 and any link related to CC through 2010 doesn't work :( 

 

Thank you all for the wonderful information.

Rub the outside of the latex with cornstarch then peel upward from the bottom of the bottle.  If you don't use the cornstarch, your mold will stick to itself.  Then make sure to cornstarch the mold inside and out every time you use it.
