Certain molds in this collection feature strategic relief cuts or two-piece designs to assist in preserving fine surface details during extraction. Before filling a mold with cuts, ensure the edges are properly aligned and held tightly closed so the casting material remains securely inside. After your project sets, gently peel the flexible silicone back along the cut contours to release intricate features without damaging your work.
After completing a casting session, gently clean away residual wax, soap, or plaster using warm water and a mild non-abrasive soap. Avoid using hard brushes, metal tools, sharp picks, or abrasive pads, as these can scratch or tear the delicate interior surfaces. Allow the mold to dry completely in open air before moving it to your work area or store.
Store your molds lying flat in their natural shape to prevent warping, stretching, or permanent deformation. Keep them in a clean space safely away from direct sunlight, high heat sources, and open flames. Proper flat storage helps maintain both the natural flexibility and detailed impressions of your casting tools over time.
Although designed with candle making in mind, these flexible silicone forms accommodate a broad array of cold casting media including soy wax, beeswax, plaster, concrete, soap bases, and resin. However, specific compatibility and finishes vary depending on the individual mold design and construction. We recommend checking the individual product page for your chosen model to confirm its recommended casting materials.
