Always demold finished castings gently by stretching the flexible silicone gradually around the sides rather than pulling forcefully on delicate protruded features. Avoid using sharp instruments like metal needles or knives to pry the casting out, as these can scratch or puncture the mold interior. Ensuring your chosen material has set completely according to its specific casting requirements will also help protect fragile elements during removal.
Wash the silicone mold after each use using mild liquid detergent and lukewarm water. Be sure to avoid coarse sponges, wire brushes, or abrasive tools that could scratch the detailed interior cavity. Once washed, allow the mold interior to dry completely in a dust-free space before storing it.
Store your flexible silicone forms in their natural shape to prevent permanent warping or deformation. Keep them in a clean, dust-free environment stored away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve the elasticity of the material. Following these handling procedures ensures your molds continue to yield crisp relief details across many casting cycles.
Depending on the model, these silicone forms can be paired with various casting mediums such as wax blends, soap bases, plaster, concrete, epoxy resin, or clays. However, specific applications and material suitability vary across individual designs in the collection. We recommend checking the individual product page specifications to confirm compatibility for your chosen project.
