Very fast setting, two-component silicone moulding paste. To mould small objects and flat decorations 110 g is sufficient to create up to 3 moulds of 4 cm in diameter. For amateur and professional adults.
Gedeo Siligum is a very popular product that both professionals and amateurs love. It's a very fast- setting, two-component silicone moulding compound that lets you create your own moulds. You can use it to mould small objects and flat decorations, and create your own silicone mould. You can then use these moulds to cast resin, plaster or candle wax.
Siligum is made up of two pastes to be mixed in equal proportions to achieve the reaction. Just a few millimetres thick is enough around the object to be moulded. It takes just 5 minutes to set. To pour Cristal resin afterwards, we recommend that you coat the mould with Vaseline beforehand.
It is easy to mold and reproduce all kinds of objects yourself. The choice of casting material depends on the shape and consistency of the subject, the casting material and the number of reproductions desired. Measure 1 part blue component (resin) to 1 part white component (hardener). Mix quickly (30s) by rolling the mixture like a sausage. The correct mixture should have a uniform light blue color. Make a ball and crush it on the object laid flat, covering it with an even layer of 3 to 4mm. For large objects make a holding shell out of plaster strips.
Working time: 2 to 3 min
Demolding time: about 5 min, at a temperature of about 23degC from the time the impression was taken. For a longer application time, place the pastes in the refrigerator for 1 hour before mixing. Pour the reproduction material: plaster, crystal resin, reconstituted stone; remove from the mold after drying.
The mold made can be used many times.
