How to Make Molds with CopyFlex®
Learn how to make your own mold with this friendly liquid mold making rubber. There are no complicated mixing ratios of catalyst and base materials since CopyFlex® is combined in equal parts. The pourability of CopyFlex® is excellent because of its low viscosity and it has a fast cure time of about 5 hours enabling an entire mold making project to be completed in less than a day. All these factors combine to create an easy to use liquid mold making silicone perfect for any endeavor that requires you to make your own mold.
*Please note that these tutorials were originally made using an earlier version of our CopyFlex® material. The instructions are accurate, but any CopyFlex® you order will be our new, improved clear green formula, not the opaque orange you see in these tutorials.
Description
CopyFlex® is a food grade, liquid silicone rubber that was designed specifically for mold making. Unlike many liquid silicones that have complicated mix ratios and very thick consistencies, CopyFlex® is easy to use because equal amounts of both catalyst and base are combined to produce a silky smooth, low viscosity liquid silicone rubber that reproduces the finest details. A 1:1 mix ratio is very convenient for large projects and also enables moldmakers to easily pour molds that may weigh as little as two ounces. Conventional liquid silicone mold making rubber often has a cure time of 24 to 36 hours which is very long when compared to CopyFlex® which can be demolded in five hours at 70 degrees F.
When you order CopyFlex®, you will receive one half of the amount you ordered as Part A (catalyst) and the other half as Part B (base) which combined will create CopyFlex®.
