What Is RTV Silicone?

ArtSil RTV, a Room Temperature Vulcanizing silicone, is an incredible tool for creating detailed resin art moulds. This two-part system consists of a base and a catalyst that, when mixed in the correct ratio, will react to form a strong and flexible cured silicone rubber. The base is typically clear or white, while the catalyst can come in either clear or pigmented forms. Once your ArtSil mould is created, you can use it repeatedly to make perfect copies of your original artwork. The base (Part A) is distinguishable by its pink colour, while the blue catalyst (Part B) creates a purple hue when mixed together - helping to ensure proper mixing. For professional quality resin casts with intricate details, look no further than ArtSil RTV silicone from Just Resin.

How To Make Moulds With A Silicone Moulding Kit

Ensure proper creation of silicone moulds by following instructions. The procedure is straightforward and does not require any specialized tools. Necessary items include an ArtSil kit, mixing container and sticks, master and outer mould. Begin by combining liquid silicone base (Part A) and catalyst (Part B) in equal parts (1:1 volume ratio). After mixing, pour into the mould and tap gently on a flat surface, including the side walls. Allow adequate curing time as indicated on the label before removing the mould from the cured silicone. Remove any excess cured material using a cutting tool, leaving you with a functional new mould.

The Pros and Cons of Mould Making Silicone

There are numerous methods for creating moulds for resin art, each with their own advantages and drawbacks. RTV Liquid silicone rubber is a highly favored choice due to its flexibility and ability to produce intricate designs. The biggest benefit of this material is its capability to form detailed moulds, resulting in precise resin castings. Its flexibility also allows for easy removal without damaging the cast. However, there are some downsides to using silicone for mould making such as its expensive cost and potential difficulty in working with it effectively. Some techniques or equipment, such as a vacuum pot, may be necessary to achieve optimal results. Additionally, certain types of silicone may yield thin and fragile edges on the moulds. Compared to other materials like Artsil, silicone may have a shorter lifespan and must be used within a specific time frame before becoming unusable. Despite these challenges, many artists still prefer it for its high-quality outcomes once mastered.

Has A Wide Range Of Applications

Liquid Silicone Rubber has a multitude of applications, such as creating moulds for candles, soap, plaster and concrete. One of its key benefits is its capability to replicate intricate details and textures, making it a popular choice for crafting artistic and decorative items. Additionally, it is used to produce rubber stamps, seals and gaskets, and can also be utilized in cold casting processes with metals, resins, and clay. This silicone-based rubber is versatile and adaptable to various uses across different industries. Its cured state forms a strong bond with itself which results in both strength and flexibility. Furthermore, it is safe for food contact applications due to its durability. When compared to alternative materials like plastic or metal, moulding silicone is cost-effective as it requires minimal maintenance and has a long lifespan. This makes it an ideal investment for numerous sectors including manufacturing, arts & crafts, construction, among others. With its exceptional properties and wide range of uses, moulding silicone remains a vital component in many everyday products that we use.
