  • Hi, I need to cast a figure out of platinum silicone. Which material is best to use as a mold? Also, is there a way to color the silicone (not only the surface, but the whole volume)?

    Thank you!

  • @dneproak Our Platinum Silicone can be cast in itself. Just wait 24 hours between making the mold and pouring the casting. Some pigments inhibit the cure of Platinum Silicone, others do not. Experimenting is the only way to find out which one will work.

  • Will it work with clear resin without any issues

  • @MrElpee1205 If you are referring to Clear Lite Casting Resin, yes, it works great with Platinum Silicone.

  • It was never stated whether or not you need to use a release agent....soooo do you need to use a release agent?

  • @kittynred Platinum Silicone virtually never needs a release. However, it is always wise to test first for that rare exception. Some product can inhibit the cure and need to be sealed first.

  • muy bueno tu tutorial pero cuanto cuesta

  • nice tip

  • @mahnoorkiyani TAP Platinum Silicone can handle 500 degrees F.

  • @runcycleskixc Platinum Silicone is extremely safe. To quote the MSDS: "Hazardous components within the meaning of EEC directive 67/548 and corresponding classification:

    none ." The product is non-hazardous, but has not been tested for FDA approval. It is not designed to be used on skin to make molds of body parts. We are not aware of any issues of skin contact with the cured material.

  • @bladerj Lots! I have done over 60 urethane castings (urethane is very hard on molds) and the mold is still good. Have not worn out a mold yet.
