Silicone Mold and Statue
Silicone plastique™ is not a liquid, but instead has the consistency of dough. It can be applied by hand to almost any surface or rolled out between two sheets of wax paper. Cure time is only one hour to yield a pliable, yet durable, rubber mold that is suitable for direct food contact. Silicone Plastique™ resists temperatures below freezing and up to 400 degrees F. Because you apply only the amount you need, you save on quantity of silicone used compared to liquid silicones. "Very Cost Effective." Absolutely perfect for chocolate, butter, tallow, cheese, sugar, pastillage, hippen and ice molding.

Safe-D-Clay™

Safe-D-Clay™ is made from non-toxic materials that are completely compatible with silicone mold making compounds. Safe-D-Clay™ is softened by kneading and applied to the backs of thin objects, such as lace, to thicken them before making a mold. Safe-D-Clay™ can also be carved or modeled to create an original sculpture.

IMPORTANT MOLD-MAKING GUIDELINES
  • Your work area should be clean and spotless. Avoid dust, grease or oils of any kind.
  • When making molds for food, all mold-making materials and objects to be duplicated should be non-toxic and food grade.
  • Sulfur ruins silicone compounds. Sulfur is present on latex gloves and in many forms of clay.
  • Always test a surface for compatibility before applying silicone mold-making materials
  • Finished silicone molds can be washed with hot water and soap and also sanitized.
  • Keep your molds clean at all times.
