A mold can be purchased made or made from scratch following your own creative style.
Here’s how you can make them with Liquid Mold liquid silicone rubber or I-Gum paste .
Silicone rubber(which is the term in Thaiยาง ซิ ลิ โคน) in mold is one of the most used materials by those who love to faithfully reproduce the details of an object.
Obviously, there are already silicone molds made by professionals, but making one, choosing the theme, has a completely different flavor. What you need is a good catalyst and a liquid or gum paste, on a small scale, a few hours available to work the components of the silicone rubber and give it time to solidify and become a mold in all aspects. The advantages of silicone rubber in comparison to steel molds are elasticity, precision and tear resistance and non-adhesion to surfaces or resin for molds that are poured into it.
What is the difference between liquid silicone rubber or paste?
With liquid rubber it is possible to reproduce “dynamic” objects, which can be moved, of small and medium or large dimensions. For a “static” object instead, for example, a piece attached to a large object, which has no possibility of being detached and submerged in the liquid rubber tank, rubber paste is used.
The liquid silicone rubber is applied by melting it directly onto the object fixed in a cut plastic cup or a pastry cutter. Begin by mixing the two compounds, the liquid rubber and the catalyst, previously weighed and with the proportions indicated in the product in use for at least 3 minutes. The waiting times for the rubber to solidify in the mold vary, but in principle it takes 24 hours to dry completely. The following video can provide you with an excellent starting point on the best way to use Resinpro liquid silicone rubber to bring your creativity to life.
