Hot Glue - Who Knew?

Hot glue is something I grew up with.  My mom was always making crafts.  So naturally, when I found out that I could add Hot Glue in a Silicone Moulds, I was all in.  The Hot Glue dries fast, and I can make multiple Moulds in less than 10 minutes.  Unlike Clay, which takes 24 hours, or Resin which takes mixing, gloves, time, etc.
