44069 Lotus large crystal cluster silicone mold
I was always fascinated by the beauty of mineral stones and Crystals. I am using only selected high-quality specimens and selected self-grown crystals for molds. I have experimented a lot with different silicone brands and types and here you can see the most beautiful and sophisticated silicone molds as a result of my study. I am successfully using the same molds in my art and gladly share them with you hoping they will be useful in the implementation of Your ideas.
By purchasing, you receive the right to use these Silicone Molds by creating casts for both personal and commercial use. You would be breaking the copyright by reproducing my Molds for personal or commercial use. Be inspired, do not copy.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
I am using Platinum-cured silicone for making my molds. Softer silicone for more complicated forms so it is easier to unmold and harder, sturdy silicone for simple forms to ensure better endurance. Molds can be used in Resin art, soap and candles crafts, and others. The silicone I am using is food safe and can withstand up to 210 Celsius (410 F) heat. If you want to use silicone molds for food, please rinse them before first use and do not use them after other non-food activities.
I cannot tell the exact time molds can be used before tear-off or diminution of luster. It may depend on Resin, colors, and the way it is used. All silicones are quite sensitive to Epoxy resins and other chemicals. Some resins are more aggressive and can influence faster wear off. It is advised by the manufacture of the silicone to use mold release to make it last longer, but frankly, I have never used any, so I cannot give any advice on this. Please note that resin may stick to any silicone molds when you over torch resin with fire. Using alcohol directly on mold can harm it faster. Usually, the molds I am using start giving less luster after 15-20 times of use and some of my customers were using them up to 30-40 times. All the results are subjective to the factors mentioned above.
After removing resin casting I just put my mold in a dust-free clean place and usually, I do not clean them. If you feel that mold need to be cleaned, it can be done with water or soapy water. Dry thoroughly before the next use. I rinse molds with distilled water to avoid any water drop marks after dry. Duct or sticky tape is very effective to clean dust and particles without rinsing the mold.
Silicone molds are 100% handmade and rarely some tiny imperfections that are not affecting the performance quality may be present.
