To protect delicate sections like ears, remove your finished casting gradually and with patience. Avoid pulling or stretching the silicone excessively during extraction to prevent damaging the mold or the piece. Depending on the model, some molds feature built-in cuts or a multi-piece construction that should be handled gently to simplify removal.
While these silicone molds are primarily designed for candle making, many designs are also suitable for soap bases, plaster, concrete, or epoxy resin. However, material compatibility varies depending on the specific model you choose. Please check the individual product description to verify whether your selected mold supports your preferred casting material.
Clean your silicone molds using warm water and mild soap to safely remove remaining wax or plaster residue. Avoid using abrasive sponges, harsh chemical solvents, or sharp metal tools like knives and needles, as these can damage the silicone surface. Allow the molds to dry completely before placing them into storage.
Always store your silicone molds in their natural shape to prevent permanent deformation over time. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight once they have dried completely. Proper storage ensures the mold retains its form and fine surface details for repeated use.
