Silicone Rubber and catalyst set

Silicone Rubber for moulding

For creating your own molds for any use (soap, candle, decorative materials) except food or sweets.

In liquid form. The set includes 1 kg of silicone rubber and 50 gr of catalyst

Clarifications:

Catalyst Usage Rate: 5%, ( 5gr of catalyst are required for 100gr of silicone).

Using less catalyst will prevent the mold from hardening.

Using more catalyst will cause the mold to shrink.

Pigment Usage Rate: 1%

Stir thoroughly until the 2 ingredients are completely blended together. If the silicone isn’t well mixed with the catalyst, there is a possibility that some parts of the mold will remain fluid.

Be very attentive to the way you cast the silicone mixture into the model. Pour the silicone from high up, and break the bubbles that may form, using a needle or a wooden stick.

Catalyst exposure to air: Is not allowed, as it causes crystal formation. Immediately close the package after using the catalyst.

Silicone mold exposure to sunlight: Is not recommended as the mold may get distorted.

Once a silicone mold is warped, it won’t return to its original shape, and there is no way of fixing it. Therefore, special attention is required during production and storage.

Tip: When ambient temperature is higher than 23 degrees Celcius, we suggest adding the catalyst at 4% and reduce the mixing time to 2 minutes. It is also advised to work this material in a well air conditioned space.
