Care and storage of silicone molds

To ensure the longevity of your silicone molds, proper care and storage are essential. Always handle the molds gently, especially when working with highly detailed or multi-part designs. Avoid using sharp metal tools, knives, or needles to remove stubborn casts, as these can easily puncture or scratch the silicone surface. When demolding, peel the silicone back gradually and avoid overstretching. Clean your molds with warm water and mild soap, avoiding abrasive sponges. Store your molds flat in their natural shape, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat sources, to prevent warping over time.
