1) The final mixture needs to have a ratio of 3:1, which means 75% Milky Base Resin and 15% Clear Hardener. This should be measured as precisely as possible using baking scales.

2) The mould can be made using 2-part putty or Oyumaru. Of course, you can use any existing silicone moulds as well, such as those for DIY resin casting, DIY clay crafts, cake pops or ice cubes.

3) If adding colour, use a TINY amount of powder pigment and mix this into the base resin. The instructions do warn you that using too much pigment can affect the curing process, which was most likely what happened in my case 🙁

4) KEEP AWAY FROM WATER. Even a single drop of food colouring is enough to ruin the squishy mixture, so do not use any liquid inks or paint before it’s fully cured.

5) Wash your hands repeatedly when handling a freshly-cured squishy. These attract dust & dirt really easily and are very difficult to clean. Unlike pure silicone squishies, washing Hitohada squishies tends to make them stickier.

I have to say I was a bit surprised by how tricky this kit was. I know that Hitohada actually create products for industrial use (e.g. forensics & manufacturing) so it’s likely that they simply rebranded some materials for the crafting / DIY market. Most craft products, especially those aimed at children have a high margin of error. Meaning that even if you eyeball the measurements or accidentally add something else, it doesn’t make a difference to the outcome.

However in this case, getting a measurement wrong by a few grams can make the difference between having a perfect squishy and a completely failed one. This is even more noticeable in my clear squishy DIY. So as mentioned, it’s best to treat this project as a very special «luxury» crafting experience. If you just want squishies then it’s cheaper to buy them. But if you want to try a totally new and unique type of DIY, then give this a try. Polymer clay crafters have a lot of existing pieces lying around, so now it’s easy to turn your favourites into squishies!
