Casting Silicone into Silicone

Casting Silicone into Silicone - Can You do it?

We are casting silicone into silicone. Can we do it? I'm going to show you how to do this with success. Silicone will stick to silicone unless you use a mold release agent. Mold release spray works well for making silicone not stick to silicone. I was nervous the first time I tried it, but I'm not intimidated anymore. I have been making silicone molds for a while now, but I was pouring into hdpe plastic forms. Not anymore. :)

When I use the plastic molds I would get excess flashing off with a razor blade… or even the small flashing would rub off with my finger.. once I had a mold that looked perfect.. I used it to make a silicone form.. when I use the new mold.. they come out with no flashing

Hi and thanks for the vid, informative and enjoyable. My question is can you use any brand of silicon mould release? most of them seem to be talking about resin casting as opposed to silicon to silicon. I'm looking at one called Everbuild all purpose silicon spray, and Molyslip MSS Silicone Spray General Purpose, do you think either one of them, or for that matter any silicon spray release would do the job. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

@JakeThompson 6 ай бұрын

Thank you for watching the video.. I’m glad you enjoyed… I’m not familiar with either one of those sprays.. but a rule of thumb I go by is.. it needs to say silicone to silicone release.. The one I’m using now is from alumilite, it’s called Pol-Ease 2500

@MrGroovyHouse-fe4cw 3 ай бұрын

You will probably struggle to stir thoroughly enough without capturing air. Jake's right about pouring slowly from a heigh - that can get out most all air bubbles. You need to pour a stream thin enough that bubles flowing into it are exposed at both sides - and pop! Heating the mold gently in an oven beforehand can help, too. And, taking a tip from the concrete industry, so can vibrating the mold after you've poured the silicon into it, to help dislodge any surface bubbles.

I thought about trying to do it myself but I’m not even a little bit educated in this field, I even tried contacting several toy companies with my idea but no luck so I thought I’d try here to see if I could just get something custom made by someone who knows what they’re doing.
