General Use, Care, and Storage Guidelines

To maintain the elasticity and surface detail of your silicone molds, thoughtful handling and storage practices are essential. Always flex the silicone gently when releasing finished items, working from the edges inward to prevent unnecessary tension on narrow features. Avoid using sharp metal picks, blades, or stiff tools inside the mold cavity, as scratches can permanently alter the surface finish of future castings.

After demolding, clean away remaining wax, soap, or plaster residue using warm water and a mild dish soap with a soft sponge. Never scrub the flexible cavities with abrasive pads or harsh chemicals. Allow the molds to dry thoroughly on a clean towel before storing them flat in their natural, undistorted shape. Keep your molds stored in a cool, dark location away from direct sunlight, radiant heating elements, and open flames to help preserve the material strength over time.
