Choose A Harder Setting Liquid Silicone To Make Moulds

There are a few things to consider when choosing the right liquid silicone. For moulds made from liquid silicone. Make sure that the liquid silicone is food grade. It may come into contact with your skin. Consider how hard or soft you need the silicone to be. If you're making a detailed mould, you'll need a harder silicone so that the details don't get lost. At Just Resin we have designed our liquid silicone for resin casting. This liquid silicone is slightly harder than the standard resin casting silicone. We have found over many years of casting and prototyping. Having a slightly harder silicone rubber will give higher detail, longevity and save you money. 

How Does Harder Silicone Save You Money? 

When making any silicone mould the sidewall of any project needs to be proportional to the size of the project. Most liquid silicone is soft. The sidewall needs to be very thick to stop tearing, cracking and cast bulging. By using a harder silicone, the sidewall can be thinner while still providing rigidity to prevent casting bulges, cracks and tears. Savings of up to 30% of the total volume of your project can be achieved when using a harder silicone product.

Pouring Resin Into An Art Mould

Moulds made from silicone rubber are commonly used to create intricate shapes for resin casting. An advantage of using a silicone mould is that the finished product can be easily released from the mould without damaging it. Our range of resin moulds can be reused many times. Makes them a cost effective option for creating multiple copies of the same object when using casting resin. When using a silicone mould for resin castings. Use a release agent to prevent the cast resin from sticking or damaging to the mould. Using a silicone mould with resin is relatively simple.

First, the mould should be cleaned and dried thoroughly to ensure that there is no debris or moisture on it.

Next, a release agent such as petroleum jelly or baby powder should be applied to the inside of the mould. Creating a barrier between the resin and the silicone. Making it easier for the finished product to be removed from the mould without any damage. Once the release agent has been applied, it is time to mix and pour your chosen resin into the mould. Follow all instructions provided by your specific brand of resin carefully in order to achieve optimal results.

After pouring, gently tap or shake the mould to remove any air bubbles that may have formed during mixing. After allowing enough time for your resin casting to cure. Carefully remove it from the mould by gently flexing and peeling back one corner at a time.

If any areas are stubbornly stuck, do not force them out as this could damage both the mould and your casting. Silicone provides endless possibilities for creating unique and detailed objects with resin casting. With proper care, they can become an essential tool in any crafter's arsenal for producing beautiful creations over and over again.

Does Epoxy Resin Stick To Silicone?

Using a silicone mould is one of the most common methods for creating beautiful and intricate resin pieces. The non-stick surface of the silicone allows for easy removal once the resin has cured. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when working with epoxy resin and silicone. 

It is important to properly prepare your mould by cleaning it thoroughly and applying a thin layer of mould release agent. Helping to prevent any excessive sticking between the two materials. It is also recommended to use a plastic or wooden stir stick rather than metal when mixing your epoxy resin. Metal can scratch and damage the smooth surface of the silicone mould. With proper preparation and techniques, you can create stunning resin pieces that pop out easily from your favourite moulds.

How To Clean Off Resin?

Resin and silicone are both popular materials used in various crafts and projects. However, when these two substances come into contact with each other, it can result in a sticky mess that is difficult to clean up. Cleaning a resin kit from silicone may seem like a daunting task, but with the right techniques and products, it can be done easily. 

First step in cleaning resin from silicone is to remove as much of the excess resin as possible. Use a scraper or old credit card to gently scrape off any dried or hardened resin on the surface of the silicone. Be careful not to apply too much pressure as this can damage the silicone material.

Next, mix equal parts of rubbing alcohol and water in a spray bottle. Spray this solution onto the affected area and let it sit for a few minutes. Using alcohol will help break down the resin making it easier to remove.

Using a soft bristled brush or toothbrush. Gently scrub the area in circular motions. Helping to loosen any remaining bits of resin from the surface without damaging the silicone.

For tougher stains or spots that are hard to reach with a brush, you can make a paste using baking soda and water. Apply this paste onto the affected area. Let it sit for 15 - 20 minutes before scrubbing it off with a damp cloth or sponge. Baking soda will act as an abrasive to help remove any stubborn resin residue.

Finally, rinse the silicone thoroughly with warm water and dry it with a clean towel. Also you can use a hairdryer on a low heat setting to speed up the drying process.

Once all of the resin has been removed. Apply some dish soap onto a damp cloth and wipe down the entire surface of the silicone to give it a thorough cleaning.

After following these steps, your silicone item should be free from any trace of resin and ready to be used again. Remember to always test out any cleaning solutions on a small inconspicuous area first before applying them onto larger surfaces.
