Wash the mold using warm soapy water and a soft, non-abrasive sponge after demolding to clear away any remaining wax, soap, or casting powder. Avoid using metal instruments, knives, or sharp picks inside the cavity, as these can scratch the detailed interior textures. Always allow the form to air dry completely before putting it into storage.
While these flexible matrixes accommodate a wide selection of materials—including wax, soap, plaster, resin, and concrete—compatibility depends on the specific model chosen. Certain shapes or wall constructions are better suited for specific pourable bases to achieve sharp surface features. We recommend checking the individual product page specifications to confirm if a selected design matches your intended casting material.
Store your molds flat on a level surface in their natural resting shape to maintain their original structure over many casting cycles. Keep them away from direct sunlight, extreme heat sources, and heavy objects that could press against the walls and cause permanent distortion. Proper storage protects the supple material so your detailed designs remain precise.
Gently manipulate the flexible silicone from the outer edges and peel the mold back gradually around the casting rather than pulling forcefully. Avoiding sharp tools near the interior walls during release preserves both the mold's elasticity and fine details like sculpted ears or facial features. Patient and gentle handling ensures clean releases while keeping the mold supple for repeated use.
