My Unhealthy Relationship With My Neighbors Teeth

My Neighbor, on the right, knows I'm a weirdo. I gave her a ride to the dentist once and that's how an X-ray of her teeth became my phones (HIPAA violating) lock screen.

Knowing this, upon finding her old retainer while cleaning stuff, she made the mistake of asking if I wanted it. I decided I wanted to make a Neighbor Teeth Ice Cube Tray.

Plasticine is actually a really common childrens toy in Ireland (or at least was when I was a lad), but a lot of Americans I have talked to seem not to have heard of it.

Plasticine has the advantage of never drying out and being water proof, so the perfect thing for temporary mold forms etc.

I broke my first attempt trying to snap off the retainer, the way it's fitted, to grip onto the teeth, it's impossible to get off the plaster teeth without breaking them. But they are SUCH a close fit that I just decided to leave it on.

You have to get the "platinum" two part mold mix if you plan on using your stuff for food.

See, even a mold of the teeth with the retainer on looks pretty good?

I decided my ice cube tray should have 6 sets of teef in there.

I had to buy a SECOND set of the mold mix to make this. It's not super expensive, but it's not cheap either.

I had hot glued the teeth in place to stop them moving about while I poured, but unfortunately this meant there was a space for the mold mix to curl under, so I had to carefully use an X-acto to extracto.

I was very excite!

I added red food coloring to the water cause I wanted to see the teeth more clearly in a picture. I think they retained(er) their toothiness very well!

Ironically, the ice teef hurt my teef. Other ideas: Agar Gelatin for Gummy Teeth Suudsu and Ivory bark and chocolate for two-tone Choco Teeth. Also Check out my latest video: https://youtu.be/I8kWQICYO50
