Where To Buy Liquid Silicone To Make Moulds
At Just Resin our great range of Liquid Silicone Rubber is ideal for resin casting moulds because it is extremely durable and flexible. It can be used to create detailed moulds with intricate designs, and is also very easy to release the finished product from the mould. When purchasing liquid silicone rubber, be sure to check the product label to ensure that it is suitable for resin casting.
When it comes to choosing the right type of liquid silicone, there are a few things to keep in mind. If you're using liquid silicone for moulds, you'll want to make sure that the liquid silicone is food-grade, as this may come into contact with your skin. You'll also want to consider how hard or soft you need the silicone to be - if you're making a detailed mould, you'll need a harder silicone so that the details don't get lost. At Just Resin we have designed our liquid silicone for mould making for epoxy resin casting, our Liquid silicone is slightly harder then the standard this is because we have found over many years of casting and prototyping having a slightly harder silicone rubber will give higher detail, longevity and save you money. You may be asking how can harder silicone save you money? When making any silicone moulds the sidewall of any project needs to be proportional to the size of the project, as most liquid silicone are soft the sidewall need to be very thick to stop tearing, cracking and cast bulging. When using harder silicone the sidewall can be a lot thinner and still give you the rigidity to stop cast bulging, cracking and tearing. You can save up to 30% of the total volume of your project when using an harder silicone product.

Can You Use Silicone Moulds For Resin?
Moulds made from silicone rubber are commonly used to create intricate shapes for resin casting. The advantage of using a silicone mould is that the finished product can be easily released from the mould without damaging it. Our range of Resin silicone moulds can be reused many times, making them a cost-effective option for creating multiple copies of the same object. When using a silicone mould for resin castings, it is important to use a release agent to prevent the resin from sticking or damaging to the mould.
