How to Make a DIY Silicone Mould

DIY Silicone Mold | @fallfordiy

NOTE:

DO NOT USE THIS TUTORIAL TO MAKE EDIBLE ITEMS OR ON SKIN! SILICONE HAS A LOT OF CHEMICALS IN IT!

I’m working on a variation of this How to make a DIY silicone mould tutorial that is food safe and you can use for chocolates and cakes etc. If you’re interested in being the first to find out about that then sign up to our mailing list or follow us on social.

We’re back with probably one of my favourite tutorials that has so much potential. This DIY is something I’ve been working on for ages! Being able to quickly and easily make a mould means I can make clay, resin and concrete (to name a few) versions of pretty much anything I like… Think of the possibilities!

This is a really easy and fast way of making a silicone mould. You can quickly take casts of anything solid and durable, then remove it when the silicone is set after about 20 minutes! Your mould is then ready to go!

So, like I say I have been working on this for a long time. The idea originally came from this post, which was awesome but I found it a was lacking a few key details so I recreated it here. I tried several different materials, techniques and combinations so some of the details in the pictures may change – so read through carefully!

Materials:

– Silicone Sealant – So this is important. It has to say silicone on it! I tried with different sealants and some worked… some really did not. The one in the picture below worked ok, but the best I tried was a “bathroom silicone sealant” which produced the final mould.

– Latex gloves (I was very irresponsible and didn’t wear any)

– Caulking gun – to get the silicone out.

– Hand soap

– A positive to make the mould out of

– Bowl or bucket that isn’t used for food (because you’re not going to want to eat of of it again!)

Instructions:

1. Mix your soap and water together. I’ve done it roughly about 1 part soap to 10 parts water.

Whoa! We’ve changed soap colour here. This tutorial took a few times to get right, so we now have purple soap for the rest of the DIY. Like magic!

2. Cut the end off the silicone and without using the nozzle squeeze it all out using the caulking gun. If you’re making a small mould you can just use a little and save the rest for another time.

3. Work the silicone until it is not sticky. I used both my hands to pull and squeeze the silicone whilst it was submerged in the water for about 5 minutes.

4. Keeping it wet transfer into a container. This step was not in the original tutorial but as the silicone drys it gets very sticky so you want it somewhere it won’t make a huge mess! The soapy water keeps stops it from sticking to your hands so don’t dry them yet either.

5. Press your object into the silicone to create the mould. You’ll want something with smooth edges that the silicone will peal off easily. This resin bracelet was perfect.

6. Leave the object in your resin until the mould is firm. This doesn’t take very long. Mine was set in just a couple of hours! Carefully peel the object out of the mould and the mould out of the container (so you can use it again!)

You might be wondering why I needed to make a silicone mould of a bracelet that I just made from a mould I already have…. right? Silicone moulds are ace for different materials and I needed something more flexible for a very special tutorial I’ll be able to share really soon with you! In the meantime I’ll probably be making moulds of everything I can think of, so expect to see more of this!

        Most silicone handles up to 400 degrees quite easily. It should be fine. You just want to make sure you don’t have air pockets in the mold that may expand at a different ratio.

          I’ve used a few different brands but I normally go to Wilkinsons because their silicone is really cheap and it works well. Try the silisone with the sea lion on the tube ;)

          With powder makes it so you can mold it around very intricate object so it wont stick and makes it malleable like playdough. you cant use quick dry for these and make sure you have time to work with it as it make take a bit to add enough corn starch or baby powder before it solidifies. You can roll it out like dough. The mold technique shown has to be placed in a container or a bowl with smooth edges so you can remove it afterwards.

        My brother made beautiful candles using his own hand made silicone molds. He replicated textured glassware by making a silicone mold of it. The wired wick was inserted later through a hole that he drilled with a very small heated drill bit in the candle’s center. I have a white round bowl-shaped candle that looks like milk glass. It is stunning. I never could bear to burn it, and it looks as nice today as it did 15 years ago when he gave it to me.

          Technically you could but it gets really sticky and would stick to you hands and the chemicals can seep into your skin so you both would have to be wearing gloves and would have to be holding hands in the same position for 2-8 hrs!! a very long time.

          Its best to get a casting kit specifically made for that.

          You can make a mold of your hands using wax. (be careful not to get it too hot!) It just needs to be at a temperature to where it is melted. Cool it to about 105*. (only melt wax over a double boiler, not direct heat ‘cos it will ignite!) Have a bucket of cold water close. Lather your hands up with vaseline or lotion. Dip your hands into the wax to coat and then quickly into the cold water. Keep dipping from wax to cold water until the wax builds up into a pretty sturdy mold. Then ever so carefully work your hands out. Usually easiest for the smallest hand to come out first. You will then have a one-time-mold that you can fill with plaster of paris. You can then carefully chip the wax away or melt it. Don’t be too impatient and try to remove the wax too soon. Even thought the plaster initially sets in 1/2 hour or so, I would let it set up for a day or two. You can basically use these directions for some extra hints and then fill the mold with plaster: https://galileo-camps.com/why-galileo/blog/diy-make-a-wax-hand/

        Can you use anything you want to make a mould?
        Like a polymer clay object or oreo cookie or something.
        Or will that permanently stick to the silicone?
        Maybe put oil on the object?

          As it cures it releases acetic acid. If you use this on your daughter, she won’t need a Halloween costume – she’ll look like a ravaged-flesh zombie for the rest of her days. Possibly with the bargain effect of some lung damage for you both.

            In reply to Courtney Phillips – acetic acid is vinegar yes, but vinegar is a very dilute solution of acetic acid. Less than 6% normally. You wouldn’t want anything more concentrated on your chips or on your skin because it’s corrosive.

      Hi Helen,

      I didn’t coat the bracelet, but as it was resin it has a nice shiny outer layer anyway. Plastics and other hard shiny surfaces should be ok as well. I imagine any surfaces that might be porous like fabric or wood might need a layer of glue or vaseline over the top. I’ll be experimenting loads with this technique so I’ll see what I can find out!

      Thanks for your question!

I have also bought silicone molds for fondant, but I’m afraid I don’t know how you can make a safe mold for food. Have you tried pressing shapes into compact brown sugar and using this as a mold?

      You can make a mold for fondant from fondant. Use some of your old fondant (use your older stuff for this) and dust with cornstartch. Stick what you want to mold and take out and let dry. I saw a video on youtube. The lady use practically anything–mcdonald toys, toy cars–whatever you want. Paint and you have a great fondant decoration for your cake.

      Any 100% silicone should work for food. If it needs a very high heat you should buy a silicone for that. The caulk smells like vinegar because that is the major curing ingredient. You can use it for soap molds too. If you mold an ore cookie the worse problem will be cleaning nasty cookie out of the mold when you make the mold. After it’s made the mold will work like any other baking silicone dishes.

    you can also use silicone sealant and cornstarch.. dump cornstarch on a smooth surface.. the pump out the silicone sealant, enough for what ever you need to mold. knead the cornstarch into the silicone adding cornstarch as needed and work it until it isn’t sticky. lightly coat whatever your going to mold with petroleum jelly or spray lightly with cooking spray and press into the silicon and leave to dry/cure. it works for lots of small things such as pendents for jewelry etc.

      I did an ornate oval frame with both recipes. Due to the size of my project I used an overlay rather than a press method. I found the soapy water was not as messy to prepare, it was quicker and much easier on the hands.. With the soapy water method you can pinch off pieces and add them to the mold without causing lines. The cornstarch recipe worked very well but it had to be done in one large application or it formed lines in the mold.

    One quick comment to piggy-back on something that was already said. Do NOT use kitchen or bathroom silicon sealant for anything that will touch food related items. These sealants have chemicals to prevent the growth of mold (like cyanide!! YIKES!) mixed into them.

        If you use nitrile exam gloves (like the kind that are used in medical clinics now in place of latex), that will protect you from the chemicals you might be exposed to if you handle the sealant for extended periods of time. :-)

      I am making candy bars and other types of chocolate candies. The molds in the store dont have the shapes i need so when i saw this i was excited until i saw a post about not for food. So what kind do i use for food again. I think i saw it in a post but could you elaborate on it this please. Thanks

      Hey Pat,
      Yes! I’ve used them myself with polymer clay. They work brilliantly. The reason I wanted to make silicone moulds is for making objects out of concrete. I needed something flexible to keep the concrete intact when I was releasing it. These moulds are perfect for that requirement. I have also popped the mould, with clay set inside, in the freezer for half an hour to make it even easier to get the clay out before heating. Works a treat. Hope that helps!

      I made a soap hand using a disposable kitchen glove. I poured the soap in a bit at a time, waited for each layer to cool & set only enough so I could adjust the pose of the fingers & the hand. Then the next layer, etc. Temperature of the soap had to be warm enough to pour but not hot enough to melt the previous layer’s shaping on contact. A slow process, but I was also able to press in features like nail edges & crease lines at the knuckles, before the soap completely set. It took a few days.
      I’d tried to make a mould out of dental mould mix as the amount of latex required would have cost too much. It would have been great to have known about this silicon method… except that keeping a hand in the setting silicon for 2 hours is a big ask. And would the mould have to be cut in 2 pieces to get the living hand out? (& the soap hand too)

      Hi Emily, and excuse me Fran if I step right in with an answer. I am not sure silicone moulds would work with porcelain slip, as the point in getting hollow parts is making the porcelain powder in the slip adhere to the mould walls while the liquid part of the slip gets soaked up by the mould itself, which therefore should be quite porous to do this. I used to cast tiny miniature cups using gesso moulds and don’t know of any alternatives that work as well.

      Fran, great tutorial indeed! I am quite a heavy silicone mould user and will surely give this a try! Just a question: does the silicone dry up even while in the soapy water or does the water keep the silicone workable a bit longer?
      Thanks again!

      I don’t think this would be good for clay as the plaster molds used for ceramics absorbs the liquid allowing the clay to set. silicone would not allow for that and it would take a day (or more) to get enough thickness to pour out the excess. Would be great if it would work huh?

    I just this moment just made a mold using this method. mine set up in less than 30 minutes. I ended up using the whole caulking silicone and it was not enough for a large bangle. I have been searching for a way to make bangle bracelets and I like this tutorial. Before I seen you site and example I had an idea of doing just this method. I just did not think it would work. I used a very cheap dish liquid from the .99 cents store and in my opinion all dish liquid will work . Mine had a chlorine alternative. I do not know if that had to do anything with the quick curing silicone. Any way that this is great I will me making me another bangle mold this afternoon. i use thick and thin masking tape as my bangle object. Masking tape is great for a medium to large adult size hand.

I thinking making two and piecing them together, would I need two tubes of sealant? I do not mind covering the skull in Vaseline for the process if I get a good result, the bone is ancient so it would probably do it some good!

        Hi Jen, I use modeler’s grade two-part silicone for my moulds: I can cut them up and the two parts stick together again with no problem at all, I only need a rubberband to keep them aligned while pouring the casting material in. It’s true I work in miniature and my moulds are quite small, but the properties of silcone should stay the same in any scale. Don’t know if this is true with the sealant kind as well, but it could be worth a try anyway.
        Hope this helps!

    I have worked with a variety of silicones for moulds. For casting pewter, I suggest you find a company like Silicones, Inc in High Point, NC. They make a silicone for pewter casting that works much better than an ad hoc mold, particularly if you want to make a two or three piece mold. Always, be careful there is no water anywhere in your mold if you cast pewter! Water instantly turns into steam and explodes then metal outwards. In bronze casting, aluminum cast, etc, it is always common practice to preheat any metal or tools that will go into molten metal or heat shock will make the molten metal explode upwards. It is one of the most common ways people are badly injured in foundries. It is not so bad with pewter, but much depends on how much and how hot your pewter is.

    Food grade silicone rubber is very expensive because it has to be made in an all stainless steel environment subject to surprise inspections by the FDA (the same is true for companies making restaurant equipment) Making an entire manufacturing line over again in all stainless steel is very expensive.

    Silicone calk is a two part catalyst material. Acidic acid (know as vinegar) keeps the hardening agent from interacting with the silicone material. If you apply a thin layer repeatedly to an object it may go faster, or at least with fewer air bubbles. Too much caulk flopped together means the vinegar drys on the outside, allowing the outside to harden but keeping the inside squishy. Thin layers avoid that problem. Afterwards, make a back up mother mould to keep it from flopping around. I use plaster.

    Your caulk will go further with this method if you’re trying to stretch your material (pun intended.)

    I forgot to add in my info about pewter casting—make sure there are “vents” or “risers” cut into the mold. In other words, as metal goes into a mold the air has to leave the mold. If air is trapped or compressed in a part of the mold from which it cannot escape, the casting will have what’s called a “cold shut.” That is, the casting will be incomplete because the trapped air’s pressure was strong enough to hold the molten metal back. A vent should be cut into one side of the mold (I generally make two or three piece molds) with about a 1 mm groove coming off the edge of some part of the casting. The groove widens just a little bit before opening at the top of the mould.

    http://www.silicones-inc.com/
    http://www.polytek.com/

    As for mould making and making some larger items, I recommend casting aluminum in green sand. (No, green sand is no more green than green cheese–green simply means not aged or uncured). If you have a friend or spouse with some basic woodworking equipment, you’ll be surprised what you can make. I prefer to use aluminum from lawn chairs or awnings–it has up to 7% copper in it, making it much stronger. Drink cans are made of pure aluminum because it is so soft it can be punched into super thin sheets. They’re often full of residual liquid, so dry them out first.

    I suggest checking out some amateur sand casting web sites.

    Don’t dismiss the idea out of hand, women especially. When I was in welding school right after the last dinosaur died, a third of the class were women. The same was true a few years later in the blacksmithing classes. In fact, several presidents of ABANA (Artist Blacksmith Society of North America) have been women. Almost all metal working is about how smart you are, not how strong you are.

    Use aquarium grade. Its considered safe for food contact when cured, unlike the construction grade that contains chemicals to kill mould and fungus growth. The kitchen and bathroom grade is the most toxic!! to prevent mould growth in the wet conditions of those places.

    This technique looks really great! I can’t wait to try it with some objects. However I’m wondering if you or anyone checking out this forum, has ever attempted to make a mold out of an already existing mold? I already have my negative made out of foam, but I would love to make a new one out of something more durable like silicone (since the foam is not in the best condition anymore after making many plaster copies). If I make a positive with silicone in my already existing foam mold and let it dry, do you think it would be possible to try to make a new mold from this object with the same silicone material? I would totally appreciate any insight, advice, tips, comments?

    I love your information on making molds. I have a small toy dinosaur that fits in my hand and would like to make a mold of it. Once I have the mold made what can I use to form my new dinosaurs? Will air dried clay work or what do you suggest? These dinosaurs will just be painted and set on a shelf. Help!

    Hey, nice tutorial. I’ve been experimenting with this over the weekend and have gotten some pretty great results. :)

    I have a question though. Is it safe to bake the molds in an oven? I’m not using this for food, but I do plan on molding stuff out of polymer clay, and to avoid potential warping of the shape, I’m hoping to bake the molds in the oven, with the polymer clay still inside. The silicone I used is resistant to at least 250C in temperature, so that isn’t an issue, but I’m worried the silicone might release harmful contaminants into our oven while it’s baking.

    Have you tried baking your molds before?

    i made this mold yesterday and the mold is still not dry yet(its still sticky), did i do something wrong? If so, do you know of anyways for me to remove the object from the silicone?

    I had followed the same instructions using GE 100% silicone II in the color white and had used dawn soap. when i had pressed the object into the mold, the mold did not stick to my hand but it did stick to a different object so, i had placed some soapy water on the object before pressing it into the mold. now as i stated before the silicone still has not dried over the course of 12 hours:(

      Hey Daniella!

      ARGH! I can feel your frustration. Everything you have done sounds correct and in my experience the silicone would have dried by now. My advice is to leave it a little longer. That type of silicone might just need more time. In the end it will stop being sticky (otherwise what would you use it for!?) and you should be able to remove the object without having the wash off the sticky silicone.

      The only thing I can think of for the future is to spend more time kneading the silicone in the soap or a stronger soap/higher concentration in the mixture. I hope it sets for you really soon!

    Just some thoughts on silicon. It is a mixture of carbon (from wood) and silicate (from stone). When it cures it generates acetic acid (vinegar). I don’t know that adding vinegar will accelerate setting time.
    Silicons adhere best to smooth surfaces by a vacuum. I would put oil on something valuable before coating with silicon. I think the soap in this mix insulates the plug. silicones have a water demand so added water probably helps the setting. They can stretch about 4 times their original length.

      Hey Roseanne,

      The silicone reacts with a chemical in the hand soap which speeds up the setting process. I don’t think it has to be a colourful soap but I’ve not tried it with colourless soap so I’m not 100% sure of that. Thanks for reading!

        Thanks so much for the reply. Well, I tried this yesterday and it was an epic failure. The silicone totally stuck to the gloves (medical type) that I was wearing, and I ended up with more in the mold than in my container. I needed it for several minutes and it just never seem to change texture? Finally I gave up and slapped it in a plastic container and shoved in the item. It did pop out of the container this morning, but there were tons of air bubbles. When massaging the silicone in the water, it looked nothing like your photos! It was real stringy. What brand are you using? I know I bought silicone sealant. Any ideas?

        Thanks again!

    I enjoyed reading your article! Thanks for the tips! Just want to add: use RTV or “Room Temperature Vulcanizing” silicones that are mixed in two parts (a base and a catalyst) to induce curing. Its high tear strength makes it the choice of professional mould makers. When creating your own mould, there will need to be a positive and negative item. A positive item is an item that is duplicated for multiple uses. For instance, the positive item would be a bracelet, pendant or toy. The negative item is the mould of the object you need to replicate. When the silicone mould has finished setting, and the original object has been removed – this would become your negative item. Having a reusable mould saves you time and energy in duplicating your products, which is critical for any business (or crafter) hoping to keep their bottom line down.

    Hi,I want to reproduce river rocks as soap,either cold press or melt and pour and was wondering if that would be possible using silicone. I realise I will have to leave just a small opening in the mold and be able to sort of peel the mold off the rock nearly turning the mold inside out in preference to cutting it open which I would then have to join before pouring soap into mold making it messy and with a join line I don’t want. Any ideas anyone!!!

    When the mold has “cured” is it fully cured silicone or is it still fragile and mushy? I’m not in need of making stuff from the mold but the mold itself for a piece of art and I need it to withstand some abuse from people handling it. I’ve tried just using straight silicone without the soap and water but it takes way too long to cure.

      Hey Sue!

      By the sounds of it I think your project would work but it depends on how large you would like the stones to be. The silicone is ideal and cheap for smaller projects but when scaling up it might be more cost effective to go with more traditional casts. Also I’m not sure how much of the leaf detail you would preserve. However as I said, the materials are cheap to buy so you could test it out first before committing to the full scale project.

      Thanks,

    Great guide this – esp about the ratio of soap to water.

    I am going to try this to make a mould of a tractrix hifi horn. If you imagine a large continually curving / opening vase.
    The volume is quite large, around 3 litres (I checked by filling it with water, so I will build up the silicone in layers I think, so each sets.
    Question is at what point / thickness to release the mould from the horn? Too thin walled and it will not retain it’s shape, too thick or solid I may never get it out. I will use Vaseline or similar to try to prevent the silicone getting too attached to the object. It will be an inside mould but the end is open about 1.5″ so I can push it out from there and work at it.

    I’ll try getting some smaller samples to cure first.

    I understand that it’s the glycerine in soap that acts on the silicone to speed up setting.

    Once I have my mould I will lay up gel-coat and then 3-4 layers of glass fibre resin, which I am used to working with.

    Here goes…

It doesn’t need to be clear – it can be any colour but it needs to have silicone in the ingredients and on the label. Also the soap I used is hand soap rather than dish soap.

      If the silicone mold has been sitting for a few days and is still sticky, there isn’t much you can do to re-set it. I’ve found that soaking it for 3-4 days in a bucket of very soapy water will sometimes harden the outside so it’s usable. If it’s just certains spots that didn’t set correctly you can also try covering those sections with new caulk (silicone loves to stick to itself).

      Things to try with the initial mix
      — using a higher soap-to-water ratio
      — work the silicone under the water for longer until if feels like slightly stiff clay (like Fimo)
      — If you are using GE brand caulk, make sure you are using SIlicone I and not Silicone II. SIlicone II has a different formulation that has had setting issues for me.

      Hope that helps! :)

    As a professional handyman for 12 years before I retired, I had many opportunities to use silicone and caulks of various kinds. I’ve done many bath tubs and sinks with bathroom silicone, and many, many feet of floors behind wood trim, and up and down room corners, and back and forth across ceilings, and in and out of kitchen and bathroom cabinets, prior to painting or to seal rooms and cupboards to keep out bugs. I squeezed an enormous unknown quantity of caulk and silicone. What worries me for you is that my experience with silicones, whether paintable or not, is the possibility of cancer-causing agents or internal organ damage from silicone components. Absorbed through the skin, many chemical substances lodge in the spleen, liver, kidneys, fatty tissues of breasts, and accumulate to later hurt the body. And these days with all the alerts about breast cancer we need to be super alert. I often used bare hands, and equally as often used nitrile gloves during application of silicones and caulks. What information do you have about this issue of potential tissue damage from silicone? Sincerely, Bill

    Oh, and I’d like to add that silicone is just as wonderful sticking things together. On my brick wall between the garage doors there are still three white glass bowls my wife and daughter stuck to the wall 25 years ago. Still can’t pry them off. They adhered the bowls to the wall, and painted the interiors of the bowls with the red, yellow, and green or traffic lights.Also, and this is the truth, a few years back before I fixed the basement wall, the brickwork was caving outward, having broken just above the top of the basement wall. I took five or ten tubes of silicone and filled the crevices with silicone, and that stuff held together the brick wall until I took it down for repairs. And when I removed the brick wall, the bricks still clung together with the silicone. I had the scrape it all off to replace the brickwork. I was absolutely impressed with the silcone’s ability to hold together the weight it did for a couple of years. -Bill

    As silicon is made from silicate (sand) and carbon (wood) I very much doubt that it can cause cancer. When it sets it generates acetic acid which accounts for the strong vinegar smell.
    If you have any doubts phone the manufacturer and speak to a chemist/specialist.

      Hey Jessica. I would NOT recommend using this on your face. The silicone has a lot of chemicals in it! You can buy food safe silicones but you should check with the manufacturer about using them on your skin first!

    This may be an old post but I just wanted to add a bit of info. I have made this using the technique shown. It DOES make a nice rubbery mold! I like the mold to be a bit more sturdy so there is another way you can use the silicone. If you mix it with corn starch it will be a stiffer material, and it will hold heavier weight objects. It works really well!

      Hey Rebecca,

      The great thing about this mould is that it’s really flexible. As long as you make sure you have a coating on the object (like vaseline) to help the mould come off you should be fine. It’s easy and quick to make though so perhaps you can try it with a test piece first and see what the results are?

      Thanks,

      Fran

    1. Could I use this for a large (24 inch diameter) pot? (With a mother mold to support it, of course.)

    2 How much does the mold shrink while curing? If it shrinks more than a minimal amount then it is impossible to support it with a mother mold made from material that does not shrink, or that shrinks to a different degree and/or schedule.

    (I made some molds of bricks that were supposed to fit together using the silicon and flour method. It shrank so much that the mold could not be placed in a mother mold, or put together for casting as it had shrunk and distorted. —> useless mold. }

Is this pliable enough for the little noses and ears, etc that stick out, or will it break the clay? I usually have to block off the sections with clay and then pour with plaster. Ideas?

    I have a lot of ceramic molds (plaster of Paris). Some are open-face molds-that you just pour your slip into it and let it dry. Others have 2 or more pieces and are banded together…. I was wondering if I could use these to make silicone molds or for anything other than the traditional slip or porcelain that is poured into them, then fired. I would love to be able to use these.

    You can use silicone and liquid soap to make a silicone mold. Fill a bowl with room temperature water. Using one part soap to 10 parts water, mix in your soap until it dissolves. Next squeeze some construction silicone into the water and knead it underwater, until it is no longer sticky. Pull the silicone out of the water and form the putty into a thick disk by rolling and flattening it. Now press the desired item into the silicone and let the disk harden over the next several hours. Pull the item out of the mold, and you are done. If you want to learn how to use cornstarch or 2-part silicone for your mold, keep reading!

    I can give you one important information about polyurethane mold casting. Cestel is the innovated company in concrete mold casting rubber. Their urethane rubber has more advantage then the most of the its competitors.
    Cestel urethane rubber series are famous for their abrasion resistance and high tear strength. Mold Cast30 is the softest of our product and offers the most flexibility and is used for models with deep undercuts. It has superior abrasion resistance and tear strength and are ideal for casting concrete. These rubbers are used for casting of concrete

    This type of polyurethane cast rubber should be used and stored at room temperature at 23°C. Liquid polyurethanes are moisture sensitive and will absorb moistures. These products have a limited shelf life and should be used as soon as possible. They should be used in a low humidity environment (below 50% RH). Components should be mixed in a straight sides and a flat bottom. Safety glasses, long sleeves and rubber gloves should be used to minimize contamination risk.
    You can get more information about the polyurethane concrete mold from http://www.cestelkimya.com/concrete-mold-casting-rubber/?lang=en
