When working with intricate shapes, always remove your finished castings gradually to avoid placing stress on fine lines and delicate parts. Avoid using sharp metal tools or knives, as these can easily scratch and damage the flexible silicone interior. Allowing your material to fully set before gently easing the mold off will help preserve all the delicate features of your finished piece.
While these silicone molds are compatible with a wide range of materials, specific compatibility varies depending on the individual model. For example, natural waxes, soap base, plaster, and concrete work wonderfully for many shapes, whereas epoxy resin is intended for selected molds in the collection. Always review the specific product description for your chosen mold before selecting your casting material to ensure the best results.
After each use, gently clean your molds with warm water and mild soap, then allow them to dry completely. Store them lying flat in their natural shape to prevent warping over time. Keep your molds stored away from direct sunlight and extreme heat sources to maintain their quality for repeated casting.
