How do I create silicone moulds using Liquid Mould?

Step-by-Step Mould-Making Process

Begin by setting up a formwork or container large enough to hold the object you’re copying, leaving a gap for the silicone. Carefully position your original within the formwork and ensure it’s stable, sometimes using mould release to help later removal. Next, combine both components of Liquid Mould silicone (parts A and B, usually in a recommended ratio) and mix until homogeneous. Pour the mixture slowly around your object to prevent trapping air bubbles. Allow the silicone to cure—typically 10 to 12 hours for best results—before carefully demoulding.

Tips for Quality Results

• Mix the silicone components thoroughly to achieve consistent curing and detail capture.
• Pouncing or gently agitating the container after pouring can help air bubbles escape. For intricate pieces, a pressure pot may reduce bubbles even further.
• Always allow sufficient curing time, as rushing may affect both flexibility and detail.
• If you seek flexibility or stiffer results, review shore hardness ranges before purchasing—for example, “Liquid Mould” casting silicone comes in different options suitable for fine detail and various applications.

When Is This Process Especially Useful?

Silicone moulds made using Liquid Mould are ideal for replicating objects with elaborate details or awkward undercuts. Whether you’re casting resin, plaster, soap, or wax, this method produces reusable moulds capable of repeated use—especially for craft, jewellery making, and model prototyping.
