Best practices when using AeroMarine Products Two Part Silicone RTV
Never mix less than about 3 ounces of product. When manufacturers design and test their silicones, they normally write the specifications for 100 gram batches, which is about 3 ounces.
Using less than 3 ounces makes it impossible to have the correct mix ratio.
Avoid mixing with drill motors. Mixing with an electric drill can cause a few problems. Frequently, they don't get into every corner of the mixing container. Powered mixing also can generate a lot of air bubbles.
Silicones don't necessarily need mold release. Silicones normally only stick to silicone, silica and glass. To release silicone from silicone, use petroleum jelly or our #33 Petrolease mold release. Never use silicone spray to release silicone from silicone- it acts as a primer and the parts will not separate. Most things cast into a silicone mold won't stick to the silicone. A mold release may be valuable however to prolong the life of the mold. We also stock a "Parfilm 4" release in an epoxy version and a urethane version. If you use a mold release, let it dry for about 10 minutes. A spray can of mold release contains a lot of solvents and propellants, which need to evaporate off the surface so they don't cause bubbles.
Don't vary the mix ratio. Follow the mix ratio on the container or the data sheet. Most (but not all) silicones are mixed in a 10:1 ratio by weight. Often this translates to a 9:1 ratio by volume. Accelerators are available to make the silicone cure faster. Since a silicone mold is a tool that can produce a lot of parts, it is best not to hurry when making the mold. Accelerators are not recommended. Don't alter the mix ratio in hopes of changing the cure cycle because it degrades the quality of the rubber.
Mix mold making silicone twice. Mix the two components together in a clean container, then transfer the mixture to another clean container and mix them again. The theory is that the liquids clinging to the sides and bottom of the containers don't get mixed well. By transferring the mixture to another clean container, you are assured that everything is well mixed.
Air bubbles in mold making. We all want to avoid air bubbles on the surface of a mold. Normally it is not an issue, but in some applications it can be troublesome. This is especially true when making figurines with intricate detail. In these cases, both when making the molds and when making the figurines it might be best to brush a thin coating onto the surface and then pour behind it. This way the bristles of the brush break the bubbles, resulting in a better surface.
We also sell several accessory products for our silicones: |
