Liquid Silicone Rubber for Mold Making and Casting
Liquid silicone rubber is a two-part RTV material used to make flexible molds for resin, candle, wax, soap, plaster, concrete, and other casting projects. Craft Resin Silicone is designed for easy mold making with a simple 1:1 mix by weight, low viscosity for smooth pouring, and accurate detail reproduction in complex shapes, textures, and fine edges. It is a strong choice for makers who want reliable results, easier demolding, and a cleaner workflow for both small creative projects and repeat mold use.
Designed for practical, everyday mold making, the formula helps reduce bubbles, cure at room temperature in about 4 hours, and create smooth molds with sharp detail and consistent shape. Choose 15A when you need a softer, more flexible silicone for easier release from detailed pieces, or 30A when you need a firmer, more durable mold that holds its shape better through repeated castings.
