Silicone paste I-GUM for making molds
Want to create precise and detailed moulds with maximum ease? I-GUM is the product for you!
I-GUM silicone paste is used for the production of custom, reusable moulds. With the help of this paste, you can create perfect decals of various objects and create their perfect form.
Another option is the production of mould edges, typically for the production of coasters. In the latter case, most often only the rim of the tray is produced on a non-stick backing.
This silicone paste is soft and durable and excels in exceptional decal accuracy. It is compatible with resins, plaster, wax, low-melting metal, soap and cement.
It is two-component and is mixed in a 1:1 ratio.
You can choose from two options:
- option 1: 200 g pack (100 g ingredient "A" and 100 g ingredient "B");
- option 2: 500 g pack (250 g ingredient "A" and 250 g ingredient "B").
When used correctly, one mould can produce up to 50 casts of plaster, resin, low fusible metal or wax; 100 g of the mass will cover an area of approximately 20 × 20 cm. There is no need to use separators on the resulting mould.
I-GUM silicone paste is easy to use:
- Remove equal amounts of ingredient "A" and ingredient "B" from the cups and work them in your hands to combine the two ingredients perfectly (knead for max 1 minute). The mass can be handled and applied by hand without gloves, apply within 2 minutes of first combining the two components.
- Immediately after mixing the resulting mass, form a ball and press it into the centre of the object until it is completely covered. A thickness of a few millimetres is sufficient. The mass cures in about 4 minutes depending on the ambient temperature.
- If you only want to make the edge of the mould for casting coasters, for example, shape the I-GUM directly on the base on which you will later cast. Make sure that the silicone mass is firmly pressed against the pad.
- The silicone mould is ready. Remove the original model and start casting into the mould.
