FAQ
Is Plat 10 food-safe?
🥒 Yes, Plat 10 is compliant with FDA 21 CFF 177.2600 and is safe for use with food. However, molds used for food should not be reused for other non-food casting purposes.
Do I need to degas the silicone before using it?
⛽ While degassing is not required, it
is recommended for achieving the highest level of detail and avoiding air
bubbles in your mold, especially for intricate designs. If you're casting resin
and using a pressure pot, then degassing is necessary to ensure the best results. However, if you're not using a pressure pot, it will still work fine,
but the final mold may not look as polished or smooth as it could with
degassing.
What materials can I cast with Plat 10 molds?
🎊 Plat 10 is suitable for a wide range of materials, including resin, wax, soap, plaster, concrete, chocolate, sugar, and fondant.
Can I color Plat 10 silicone?
🪄 Yes, Plat 10 can be mixed with pigment powders or liquid dyes to achieve your desired color. However, avoid using oil or water-based products, as they can interfere with the curing
process.
How do I care for and extend the life of my silicone molds?
🌟 To keep your molds
in top condition, we recommend using Mold Release or Mold Release & Conditioner. These products are designed to help protect your molds, extend their lifespan, and ensure easy release. The conditioner also helps your molds maintain their shine, keeping them looking fresh and performing well over time.
How should I store my silicones to keep them in the best condition?
❄️ Store your silicones in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and high temperatures, ideally between 60°F and 75°F (15°C to 24°C). Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent moisture and air from affecting the formula. Wiping the container tops before sealing can help prevent stuck caps.
What are the best conditions for pouring and displaying silicone projects?
☀️ For the best results, pour silicones in a well-ventilated, temperature-controlled environment with humidity below 60% to ensure proper curing and avoid defects. Avoid leaving your project in the mold for extended periods, as this can impact the mold's longevity. Additionally, avoid letting your epoxy or urethane exotherm excessively in the mold, as high heat can degrade the silicone and shorten its lifespan. Using Mold Release and Conditioner after casting can help extend the life of your molds by keeping them conditioned and preventing premature wear.

Which Plat Silicone is Right for Your Project: 10, 25, or 40 ?
The main difference between Plat 10, 25, and 40 lies in their hardness levels, measured on the Shore A scale. Plat 10 is the softest and most flexible, making it ideal for intricate molds with fine details or delicate materials like chocolate.
Plat 25 offers a medium level of firmness, providing a balance between flexibility and durability for a wider range of projects. Plat 40 is the firmest, best suited for molds that need to hold their shape under more pressure or when casting tougher materials like concrete. The choice depends on the level of detail and the strength needed for your project.
