- Comment on Insulated sous-vide container I made 6 days ago:
Yeah, sometimes I just let it sit there to cook. The insulation would retain the temperature for a while
- Comment on Insulated sous-vide container I made 6 days ago:
I just cut them with a serrated knife or scissors, then glue the pieces together
- Comment on Insulated sous-vide container I made 1 week ago:
I did think of insulating my big pot too, but I don’t use it very much. One time I made a big pot of spaghetti sauce for freezing and now I still haven’t finished eating it.
- Comment on Insulated sous-vide container I made 1 week ago:
The inner container doesn’t com into contact with the food. They are sealed in their own bags
- Comment on Insulated sous-vide container I made 1 week ago:
Sous vide bags containing the food I want to cook
- Comment on Insulated sous-vide container I made 1 week ago:
Yes, it’s to prevent heat loss and water loss. I just feel that an insulated container would lose a lot of heat over the hours of cooking.

- Comment on Travel box I made for my razor and toothbrush head 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I put the brush handle along with other stuff but I want to keep the brush head separated and clean.
- Comment on Travel box I made for my razor and toothbrush head 3 weeks ago:
I just mixed it with glue to make a grainy paste. Then I used it to fill around the the razor and brush. Finally I covered it with paper and dry for a week. Occasionally I would leave the razor and brush inside to prevent it from shrinking
- Comment on Travel box I made for my razor and toothbrush head 3 weeks ago:
That’s a good idea, but I’ll wait for a few months of use to see if I want to modify it before painting.

You can gets started with this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=45JhacvmXV8. I don’t reccomend waterproofing your stuff though, as it prevents you from modifying them later.
For moulding, coffee ground and glue is simpler, but will take a week to completely dry. It also shrinks, so you have to leave your items inside for the first days of drying. Cardboard layers will dry faster and keep their outer shape, but is more tedious to make. Maybe you can try cardboard inside and coffee ground outside
In any case, cover the surface with paper and the corners with thin strips of paper. I’d recommend drying it quickly (using a heat gun, or the sun) to prevent fungal growth inside the thick parts.

I don’t have it with me right now, but basically I just wrapped many layers of paper around the inner part until it tightly fits the cover
