These silicone forms can be used with a variety of casting mediums including soy wax, beeswax, paraffin, soap bases, plaster, concrete, and resin. However, exact compatibility depends on the specific model and layout you choose from the collection. Be sure to check the individual product specifications for your selected design to confirm its best application.
To protect the flexible silicone surface, ease the finished casting out gradually without applying excessive force or overstretching delicate features. You should never use sharp metal tools, blades, or pointed pins near the matrix to prevent accidental punctures and tears. Supporting complex reliefs during removal ensures the mold retains its detailed shape for repeated uses.
Clean your molds thoroughly using warm water and mild soap after each casting to remove any residual wax, resin, or plaster, making sure to avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemical cleansers. After cleaning, store the molds flat in their natural shape away from direct sunlight, extreme heat sources, and heavy objects that might cause deformation over time. Proper care keeps the silicone elastic and preserves fine relief details over many casting cycles.
