Proper care and cleaning of your silicone moulds will keep them in top condition and ensure detailed results for every cast. Here’s a straightforward approach to cleaning and storing your moulds so they’re always ready for your next project.
Simple Cleaning Steps for Silicone Moulds
After using your moulds, gently wash them with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using abrasive pads or harsh cleaners, which could damage the smooth finish and reduce detail in future casts. A soft sponge or cloth is usually all you need. Rinse well to remove any soap residue, then allow to air dry thoroughly before storing.
How to Store Silicone Moulds Correctly
Once clean and dry, store your moulds away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Prolonged UV exposure or high temperatures can affect the material over time, making the silicone less flexible. Place moulds in a cool, dust-free spot—ideally flat or in a way that they don’t get crushed or bent, preserving their original shape.
When Good Mould Care Matters Most
- Reusing for Multiple Castings: Clean, undamaged moulds help deliver crisp details time after time—especially when using translucent silicones like Pure Mould for intricate work.
- Switching Between Materials: A thorough clean ensures resin, soap or wax residues don’t cross-contaminate or affect the next cast.
- Storing Moulds for Long Periods: Proper drying and storage significantly extend mould lifespan, even if you only use them occasionally.
