Platinum Silicone combines the advantages of both in that it does not require a mold release and does not have bubble issues. However, it is the most expensive.

The video "Introduction to TAP Mold Making Products" explains many of the differences. In a nutshell, Silicone is more expensive and requires special techniques to remove bubbles. But, it does not require a mold release in most situations. This is a huge plus.
Urethane is less expensive, tougher, does not have bubble issues, but requires a mold release at all times.

Great Items!
I want to make bakery molds with special designs. My only concerns is if this type of silicone is safty for making food molds such as cake molds or cookie molds. I need to use the mold for baking cakes.

We cannot say whether this silicone is safe or not for food contact because it has not been tested and certified safe by the FDA.
