- Prepare the Casting Material: If using gypsum or cement, add water to the powder in a separate container and stir thoroughly until a smooth, consistent mixture is achieved. Follow the specific mixing ratios recommended by your casting material manufacturer.
- Pour into Mold: Carefully pour the prepared casting material into the silicone mold. Ensure the material fills all cavities evenly. Gently tap the mold on a flat surface to release any trapped air bubbles.
- Час отвержденія: Allow the poured material to dry and solidify completely. For gypsum or cement, this typically takes a day and a night. Curing times may vary depending on the specific material used and environmental conditions. Refer to your material's instructions for precise curing times.
