Facebook← Back to Why does the resin stick to my silicone mould and how can I prevent it?
Struggling to remove cured resin from your silicone moulds? A specialist release agent such as silicone oil can make the demoulding process far simpler, while extending the life of your moulds.
Why Use a Release Agent?
Even high-quality silicone moulds can sometimes grip onto resin, especially if the resin isn’t fully cured or the mould’s surface has started to lose its non-stick properties. By applying a dedicated release agent, you create a thin barrier that helps the resin part cleanly from the mould, reducing the risk of breakage or surface defects.
How to Apply Silicone Oil for Best Results
Using Silicone Oil for Mould Protection and Easy Release is straightforward. Add a few drops to your mould and gently spread the oil with a soft cloth or your finger, making sure to cover the surface evenly. After pouring and curing your resin, demoulding is often much smoother. Regular use of silicone oil helps keep moulds soft and flexible, avoiding cracks or tears in future projects.
When This Matters Most
Release agents are especially useful when casting detailed, delicate items or projects with tricky shapes. If your mould is new, or if it’s starting to stick after repeated use, a small amount of silicone oil can make a significant difference in your results and mould lifespan.
