After use, clean away any remaining wax, soap, or plaster carefully, and allow the mold to dry completely before storage. Store the molds in their natural shape, away from direct sunlight and strong heat sources. Following these simple steps will help preserve the flexibility and detail of your molds for many projects to come.
