Contains Silicone Paste for Formwork Sealing

Why Use Silicone Paste for Formwork?

Silicone paste provides a flexible, non-stick seal along the joints and edges of your formwork, preventing resin from escaping during the pour. Unlike tapes or makeshift solutions, silicone easily adapts to tiny gaps, reducing the risk of sticky leaks or wasted resin. Its easy removal after curing leaves your finished table edge smooth and clean, perfect for natural wood or contemporary epoxy designs.

Practical Guide: Applying Silicone Paste

• Prepare the formwork: Ensure your mold or frame is clean, dust-free, and assembled securely.
• Apply the paste: With a steady hand, run a bead of silicone paste along all joints and corners, smoothing with a finger or applicator for full coverage.
• Let it cure briefly: Allow the paste to skin over, then proceed with your resin pour as normal.
• After curing: The silicone can be gently peeled away, leaving a crisp finish behind.

Many complete starter packs, such as the “River-Table” – Complete Kit, include silicone paste, so beginners don’t need to source it separately.

When this Matters

Using silicone paste is especially important for deep pour projects, river tables, or when working with valuable timber. Leaks not only spoil the finish—they waste resin and add unnecessary cleanup. Sealing properly at the start saves time and materials in the long run.
