To ensure that your object doesn't move around once the liquid rubber is poured, you must attach it to the base of your container. This can be done by simply hot gluing your object to the container. You want your object to have a wide base so that once the mold is finished, it will be easy to extract the object. If your object doesn't have a large base, you can create one using a section of wax. Stick your object into the wide shape of wax, and attach the wax to the container's base. If you want to reuse your object, you can use tape or a different adhesive that won't damage the object. Just be aware that the different adhesive you choose might not be as stable as the hot glue. If your object is made of wood, plaster, unglazed ceramic, stone, concrete, or any other porous material, you're going to want to seal it. Use a sealant such as SuperSeal or Krylon clear acrylic spray. Rubber mold suppliers will often have their own sealant that you can purchase along with the rubber mold. If your object is made of a non-porous material, such as plastic, metal, or glass, you don't need to seal it. In order for your object to easily separate from the rubber mold, you should apply a releasing agent that covers your object and the container. Most releasing agents come in the form of a spray or liquid, so apply a light coating and be sure to cover the entire area evenly. Ease Release, Spray-on, and ReleaSys are all popular releasing agents that can be found in art stores, home improvement stores, or online. Your rubber will typically come in a two-part liquid. There should be instructions with the material, but most rubbers require you to carefully mix the two parts together using a specific ratio. This will create the liquid rubber that you will pour into your mold. Be sure to stir each liquid part separately in their original containers first before measuring out how much will be poured together. The ingredients could have settled, which will impact the activation of the rubber. Thoroughly mix both parts together. Most times the two parts will be different colors, so when you're mixing them together, make sure there aren't any color streaks once you're finished. Once you've mixed both compounds together, you typically have 20 minutes of work time, so be ready to pour the liquid rubber into your mold soon after you've mixed it.

Follow the "Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Monosaccharides And Polyols (FODMAP)" diet. FODMAPs are foods or ingredients that are associated with making IBS symptoms worse. Avoid these foods or limit them to one to three servings a day. In general, you should follow a low-fat, complex carbohydrate diet. For example, eat whole grains, lactose-free dairy products, gluten-free foods, fish, chicken, meat, and certain fruits and vegetables (such as bok choy, carrots, bananas, cucumber, grapes, tomatoes). Try the low FODMAP diet for at least four to six weeks. You may immediately get abdominal pain relief, or it may take longer for the pain to go away. Talk to your doctor about what you should and should not eat on this diet. It is believed that short-chain carbohydrates are poorly absorbed by the intestine and rapidly fermented by bacteria in the gut. The production of gas during this process is a cause of symptoms. Fructose isn't absorbed well by your gut, which can cause cramping and diarrhea. Avoid fruits that have simple sugar, like apples (and applesauce), apricots, blackberries, boysenberries, cherries, canned fruit, dates, figs, pears, peaches and watermelon. You should also avoid any food with high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which may include baked items and beverages. Don't forget to cut out artificial sweeteners like xylitol, sorbitol, maltitol and mannitol (which all contain polyols that irritate the digestive system). You should also avoid the these vegetables which can aggravate your digestion: artichokes, asparagus, broccoli, beetroot, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, garlic, fennel, leeks, mushrooms, okra, onions, and peas. Dairy contains lactose which is a carbohydrate that breaks down into sugar. Lactose can irritate your sensitive digestive system. If you think you may be sensitive to lactose, you might actually be lactose-intolerant, which can also cause digestive problems like those of IBS. Try to limit the amount of milk, ice cream, most yogurts, sour cream, and cheese you eat. You can still eat soy-based yogurts since they don't have lactose. But, you should still avoid soybeans. Several grains contain fructans which can irritate your digestive system. Try to limit your intake of grains that contain gluten, like wheat, spelt, rye, and barley. You should also reduce the amount of legumes in your diet because these contain galactans which may also irritate your digestive system. Galactans and fructans can cause the gas and bloating symptoms of IBS. Avoid these legumes: Beans Chickpeas Lentils Red kidney beans Baked beans Soybeans Lots of fruits and vegetables are allowed in the FODMAP diet. These fruits and vegetables don't contain large amounts of the carbohydrates that your body has trouble breaking down. For fruits, you can eat bananas, berries, melons (except watermelon), citrus, grapes, kiwi, and passion fruit. There are also a variety of vegetables you can eat that won't irritate your digestive system. Try making half of your plate vegetables every meal. Try: Bell peppers Cucumbers Eggplant Green beans Chives and green onion Olives Squash Tomatoes Roots: carrots, parsnips, potatoes, radishes, sweet potatoes, turnips, yams, ginger Greens: kale, lettuce, spinach, bok choy Water chestnuts Zucchini Get protein from a variety of sources like meat, fish, eggs, nuts and seeds (except for pistachios). You shouldn't feel like you can't eat food. Just watch to make sure these meats and grains don't have added sugars or wheat, which can irritate your digestive system. Try to choose meat that hasn't been fed grain or high-fructose corn syrup (which are high in FODMAPs). Grains that you can eat include: Corn Oats Rice Quinoa Sorghum Tapioca

Allow for up to 24 hours of dry time before performing the next step. The painted side should face outward from the candle (this ensures the writing reads the right way, etc.). Next, wrap a larger piece of wax paper around the tissue paper and candle. Leave excess wax paper to allow you to hold the candle while you transfer the design. Heat the candle holding your chosen heat source close over the paper until you see the tissue paper begin to disappear and the wax paper melt. Shift the heat source around the candle to ensure the whole design is covered. The design will be transferred to the candle as the heat is applied. Hold the heat source away from the hand holding the candle! Beware burning yourselfthis part must be done by an adult. Go slowly as you don't want to peel away any of the newly transferred design.
