Many people like to use silicone to turn some models, such as DIY handmade soap, cartoon character models, so in the process of turning mold need to use what tools and materials, the following list to share with you.

1. liquid silicone
Liquid silicone, also known as silicon Likon or silicone rubber, is the main consumables of silicone mold production in the process of turning mold. There are two kinds of translucent and white. It is recommended to use white, and the fluidity and turning mold times are better than translucent.


2.curing agent
Curing agent curing agent is to let the liquid silica gel solidified, according to the proportion of the manufacturer's requirements to add silica gel, fully stirred to cover the mold. Adding too much curing agent, silicone will quickly harden, may not be finished operation on the scrap. Add too little, curing time is very long, also may not cure at all.

3. polyurethane resin
Polyurethane resin commonly known as ab water, is a very convenient material to use, AB components according to 1:1 mixing, fully stirring evenly, about 3 to 5 minutes to start curing, fully curing waiting for 1 hour can be demoulded. Turning mold detail is very good, small shrinkage rate, finished products feel good.

4. release agent
The release agent has spray, can also be replaced with medical Vaseline, can also be replaced with eye ointment and other oily things, the purpose is to separate the silicone mold.

5. industrial Plasticine
Industrial Plasticine as the main material for the production of reflection mold before pouring silica gel, relatively soft, can be replaced with mud, eye soil, etc., can be used repeatedly, a large number of mold is used more.

6. Building Blocks
Turning mold building blocks are not necessary, you can use ABS board, cardboard, pay attention to the tightness on the line, if it is the kind of smooth cardboard surface.

7. electronic balance
Electronic scales are used to weigh the ratio of silica gel to hardener.
