Completely defeated

Went to Daiso @ Plaza Sing yeaterday and bought a packet of rubber moulds (3 stick type). I planned to recast 2 more fuel tanks for the F-15 project that I'm currently doing.

Tried it out this afternoon and failed miserably. Whenever i put the rubber mould into the hot water after 5~10 mins the rubber mould would become very brittle and crack easily.

Worse still, the blue stick completely disintegrated into dust in the hot water and left me with a suspension of murky blue water. I had to slowly pinch out the blue dust and try to piece them back together. Afterwards, the whole clump of "clay" became very brittle and totally not suitable for use anymore.

Not sure how to carry on now, gotta sleep on it for abit.
