Do you think I can use this putty to make silicone beads for a teething necklace? I would just be rolling them into a ball and poking a hole in them

Hi Brooke, first off I'm sure you could make the beads with no problem, and they would definitely be soft enough for teething, however I'm not sure about the possible toxicity of the chemicals involved in producing these silicone compounds. The only warning I can find specifically says "Caution: Do not eat. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF SMALL CHILDREN. Adult supervision recommended. Ingredients may CAUSE EYE IRRITATION, SKIN REDNESS AND SENSITIZATION. If skin redness develops discontinue use and wash the affected area with soap and water. If material gets into eyes, wash with plenty of water." So that's the only warning I see on or in the box. Bottom line, I wouldn't suggest anyone put this stuff in their mouth. Best bet would be to purchase some hypoallergenic product or a similar product that is designed spcifically to be able to be inside your mouth safely without releasing any chemicals :). Good Luck!

I would think so, maybe using a cotton ball. I have only used it on jewelry though.

Beading as in making necklaces? Anything will work for that. I'm not sure I know what beading you are talking about.

LOL, you have contacted another bead lover! Actually, I just got out a tube of beads to try in the holder and it works just great! Never thought of it... THANKS :) (I used mine for lipsticks)

Yes, it is possible. But if you are using glass beads, I would not get the bead too close, it will break it. As long as the bead isn't too large. I had a small glass bead break when I got to close to the "looping" part of the tool. I am still learning with it though.

The beads are interwoven with a monofilament line. From what I can see, it may be a very cumbersome task of keeping the beads from running. Good luck.

I can't say for sure since I have never used a beading loom, but the hole is quite large and beads not easily breakable, so I would guess you could. Great colors!

This gum is not a ball. It is a rectangle similar to Chiclets, maybe a little bigger. Some machines can work with either shape, so check your machines info to see if it takes only one shape.

I have never done that, I just use mine for making candy. But I don't see why not, there are alot of different silicone pans ;-)

Yes, these are tiny cube-shaped molds. I use mine for hard candies, which is much harder to work with than clay. I push my candies out from the back side...it takes a few minutes, but it works well. Since this is silicon and has no air drying holes, etc., it could take awhile for clay to harden in it, but I see no reason why this wouldn't work. Will pass this idea on to my daughter as she loves beads/bead working. Good Luck!

This might be overkill, or flat-out awkward, for this specific use. Based on a youtube search for "bead drilling" to see what others use, you'll likely want a light duty rotary tool or bead reamer for harder materials or a pin vise for things like polymer clay. You might consider a jeweler's push drill like this: Jeweler's Small 3-1/2" Push Drill for Micro Bits 0.20mm to 1.0mm

I use it for a gloss on paper beads, and I guess you could glue something on it. It goes on thick and would probably make a good glue itself..

I am not sure - it is plastic so I am guessing not if your mixture is really not. The plastic is not really super thin, but making hard candy, like anise, etc. would just melt it, I'm sure

Don't think this is good idea because even mixing a small amount (1/2oz) could produce heat reaction..You should always use the correct harder with the correct resin.. They are all different..

yes this would be great to paint chocolate either solid { lota chocolate} or fill the center with cream mouse etc or bake a cake crumble it with frosting till it holds together like a cake pop paint your mold with chocolate or melts fill it with the cake mess and paint the end closed good luck have fun

I would not try it. They will break up and crumble. You need smaller harder beads. Try doing a search for foam or plastic fillers (you may need to specify beads, or furniture, or non-toxic) at www.thomasnet.com

It wouldn't work very well. I would use something silicon based too, like Pedro's bike lust. That way it lubes too.
