How To Vent a Silicone Mold to Eliminate Bubbles In Casting

Step 5: Demolding

The next day, when the mold rubber is cured, remove the screws to begin disassembly of the mold box sides. Carefully separate the two halves of the mold and the original model. Once demolding is complete, post cure both mold halves in a hot bo for 4 hours at 200°F/93°C to drive off residual alcohol and water from the cured rubber. This step will prevent cure inhibition between the rubber and the TASK® plastic.
