✨ To prevent air bubbles, mix slowly and thoroughly to avoid introducing air. When pouring the mixture, pour slowly into one corner of your mold box and allow it to flow naturally around your master, pushing out air as it fills. If your mold has undercuts, rotate and tilt the mold to allow trapped air to escape. Additionally, degassing the mixture in a vacuum chamber is recommended if you have one available.
⌛ To prolong the life of your molds, make sure to use Mold Releases, avoid leaving castings in the mold longer than necessary, and allow the molds to cool between castings. Conditioning the molds with silicone oil or Mold Release & Conditioner after each use or before long periods of storage will also help maintain their longevity.
🥝 Plat 40 is compatible with a wide variety of materials, including resin, wax, soap, chocolate, sugar, plaster, concrete, and more. It is FDA food-compliant (FDA 21 CFF 177.2600), making it safe to use for molds that come into contact with food. Once you use a mold for food, it should be dedicated to food use only. Do not switch between food and other types of casting, such as resin, to ensure safety and prevent contamination.
🪄 Yes, you should always use a mold release when pouring plat 40 to prevent bonding, especially for two-part molds. We recommend using a Mold Release both when creating your molds and when casting into them. This not only makes the demolding process easier but also helps extend the lifespan of your mold. our Mold Release & Conditioner or Mold Release is what we recommend using.
⛽ 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.
🪄 Yes, Plat 40 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..
