Facebook← Back to How to make an eraser using silicone?
If you’re planning to make your own erasers with silicone, choosing the right type of silicone is key to achieving a flexible, detailed, and durable result. Here’s what to look for and where to start.
Choosing the Right Silicone for Eraser Making
For homemade erasers, select a silicone designed specifically for detailed mould making. Liquid silicones with a soft, flexible finish and the ability to capture fine details are ideal. Equally important, look for options that are non-toxic and safe for skin contact, as these are suitable for both adults and children crafting at home.
The “Pure Mould” Translucent Liquid Silicone Rubber is a popular choice, thanks to its easy 1:1 mixing ratio, fast curing time and certification for being solvent-free and non-toxic.
Tips for Successful Use
- Mix your silicone components thoroughly and according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure even curing and flexibility.
- For best results, pour or press the silicone carefully into your mould, taking time to remove air bubbles for a smooth finish.
- If you prefer a quick and simple moulding process, non-toxic putty options such as “I–Gum” Silicone Putty can be kneaded and applied by hand, making them ideal for beginners and small projects.
When This Matters Most
The choice of silicone is especially important when making erasers intended for children, decorative gifts, or custom stationery. Using a non-toxic, skin-safe silicone gives peace of mind and makes the process more enjoyable for everyone involved.
