If your selected mold features pre-cut seams, you should use appropriate support bands around the mold before you begin pouring. This ensures clean seam lines on your finished figure and prevents any casting material from leaking. Always handle these areas gently during demolding to preserve the mold's elasticity.
To protect fine anatomical features, always ease your finished castings out slowly and gently without excessive stretching or twisting. Allow your casting medium to set completely before demolding, and handle the flexible silicone with care. Avoid using sharp metal instruments like knives or needles near the mold, as they can permanently scratch the inner surface.
These flexible silicone tools are highly versatile and accommodate a variety of materials, including soy wax, beeswax, soap, epoxy resin, gypsum, plaster, and lightweight concrete. However, because specifications and detail levels can vary between individual designs, we recommend checking the specific product page of your selected mold to confirm its compatibility. Always ensure the mold is completely clean and dry before switching between different casting mediums.
After each casting session, wash the mold with warm water and mild liquid soap, avoiding abrasive sponges or stiff brushes that could scratch the surface details. Let the mold dry completely in a dust-free space, and then store it flat in its natural shape to prevent deformation. Keep your collection in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, open flames, and heat sources.
