Epoxy Resin Silicone Molds
Epoxy resins are often used to create silicone molds due to their ability to harden into precise and durable shapes. This combination is particularly appreciated in the DIY and hobby sector, where obtaining long-lasting and detailed molds for craftsmanship is essential. Epoxy resins provide a smooth and resistant surface ideal for pouring silicone and creating reusable molds for casting in plaster, resin, or other materials. This technique is widely used for creating custom objects, jewelry, decorations, and much more.
