To protect intricate surface lines and deep relief contours, ease the finished casting out gradually by gently peeling back the flexible silicone edges rather than pulling forcefully. Avoid aggressively stretching or twisting detailed sections, as this prevents damage to both the finished figure and the fine interior textures of your mold.
Wash the silicone mold immediately after demolding using warm water and mild soap to clear away any remaining casting material or color residue. Never use abrasive pads, sharp scrapers, or harsh chemical cleansers, as these can easily scratch or destroy delicate interior details.
Ensure your molds are completely dry before placing them flat or properly supported in their natural, undistorted shape within a clean, dust-free space. Keep heavy objects from resting on top of them, and store all forms away from direct sunlight, open flames, and high heat sources.
While these silicone forms generally support a wide array of casting mediums—including wax, soap, resin, plaster, and concrete mixes—individual designs may suit certain weights and finishes better than others. Always check the specific details on the individual product page to confirm material compatibility for your chosen project.
