New Clear Platinum Cure Silicone From Tap Plastics

Recommended Posts

I just bought some of this and made a mold this morning . It is more expensive than their regular silicone but has some added benefits . It comes in two equal sized bottles and the mix ratio is 50:50 , curing time was as advertised 2 hours . It has very low viscosity and pours thin without trapping bubbles so no vibrating / vacuum required.

Picks up detail very well and cures a transluscent clear color . The down side is that it is so thin it runs between the joints of the legos I made a form with . I taped the outside of the legos just in case but it did seep in between a lot of the bricks .

After you pour a few baits, let us know the it compares to other silicone molds you have used. My biggest complaint about silicone molds is the oils they extrude when heated.

Perhaps you've don a lot more RTV than me, but I have yet to have a problem with oils and a heated mold. I LOVE RTV, second only to Aluminum Hand Injection molds.

Small molds are fine, it's when I 've used larger swimbait molds (that I've made) that I get small pock marks once the molds have heated up from multiple pours.
