General Care and Storage of Silicone Molds

To ensure your molds remain in excellent condition for many projects to come, proper care and gentle handling are essential. Always follow the specific instructions provided on the individual product page, as care requirements may vary depending on the material you choose to cast. When demolding, remove finished castings gradually without unnecessary pulling or overstretching, especially around detailed sections like hands or facial features. Avoid using knives, needles, metal picks, or other sharp tools that could easily puncture or tear the flexible silicone. For cleaning, gently wash away any remaining wax, soap, or plaster with warm water and a mild soap, avoiding abrasive sponges or pads. Allow the mold to dry completely in a dust-free environment before storing it in its natural shape, away from direct sunlight, open flames, and strong heat sources.
