Pouring & Demolding

Troubleshooting
-
Sets too quickly? Use cooler water, smaller batches, or a cooler workspace
-
Air bubbles? Tap mold after pouring; brush mixture into detailed areas first
-
Weak or chalky castings? Reduce water ratio and allow full 24-hour cure
-
Sticking to mold? Allow more curing time; flex silicone gently to release
Safety
