• Gypsum, plaster, and concrete mixes work effectively in sturdy forms to yield durable altar statues, rustic tabletop ornaments, and stone-like decorative pieces.
• Epoxy resin can be utilized in individual molds to generate translucent figurines, dark vanity decor, or vibrant colorful sculptures enhanced with mica powders and metallic pigments.

General Use, Care, and Storage Recommendations

To preserve the fine details and elastic quality of your silicone molds, proper handling and routine maintenance are recommended. Avoid using sharp metal picks, blades, or coarse tools near the interior surfaces to prevent scratches or tears. After each crafting session, wash away residual wax, soap, resin, or plaster using warm water and a mild dish soap, brushing gently with a soft sponge if needed. Allow the mold to dry completely before storing it upright or in its natural shape. Keep your silicone forms in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, open flames, and heat sources to maintain their flexibility and detail retention for countless future pours.
