Production of molds for concrete and plaster

The most common material for creating molds is silicone. Gypsum is considered traditional and common for many people. But he is very demanding about the level of skill in making various figures.

Recently, silicone forms for concrete and plaster have gained considerable popularity. They are elastic, retain their geometry and make it possible to obtain products of any complexity, even with the smallest details. High accuracy of reproduction of any elements, ease of removal of the finished product, durability - this is what makes silicone molds popular among modern craftsmen.

Simple molds can be made at home, but this is a very long and careful process: you need to prepare a master model, grind and polish it, and find a formwork for the mold. It is important to choose a silicone that behaves normally during degassing and filling. There have been cases where the silicone simply hardened in the container because the supplier gave a very concentrated catalyst and did not report this. As a result, all the prepared material had to be thrown away. There are also many other nuances in working with silicone that you should know about. Therefore, we advise you to buy ready-made silicone molds for plaster and concrete in our online store. This will significantly speed up and simplify the process.

How to choose gypsum for pouring into molds?

The quality of raw materials for creating figures is important. We advise you to choose only the best plaster and concrete. Building alabaster should be used as a last resort and sifted through a sieve to achieve a "fluffy" consistency without lumps and foreign inclusions.

When making a gypsum solution, the basic rule is followed: gypsum is always poured into water, and not the other way around. This helps to avoid clumping, which can damage the finished product. It is recommended to make a test mixture to determine the optimal proportions. The consistency of the solution should resemble sour cream.

Pouring plaster or concrete into molds

All materials, tools and forms should be at hand. The solution is poured in a thin stream, the mold is shaken a little so that the solution adheres to the smallest details of the relief of the silicone mold as much as possible. Final operations are no less important. This is drying (too fast drying can lead to cracking), removing the product from the mold, finishing the details of the finished product.

Silicone molds do not require prior lubrication of the walls, they are flexible, and therefore it is very easy to remove the hardened product. Also, silicone gives more opportunities for processing details.
