If compatibility between the rubber and the surface is a concern, a small-scale test is recommended. Apply a small amount of rubber onto a non-critical area of the pattern. Inhibition has occurred if the rubber is uncured after the recommended cure time has passed. To prevent inhibition, a “barrier coat” of clear acrylic lacquer sprayed directly onto the pattern is usually effective. Allow to thoroughly dry. Although not usually necessary, a release agent will make demolding easier when casting into or over most surfaces.\u003cstrong\u003e Ease Release™ 200\u003c\/strong\u003e is a proven release agent for making molds with silicone rubber and for releasing new silicone from cured silicone.

Allow the mold to cure 4 hours at room temperature (73°F \/ 23°C) before demolding. Post curing the mold an additional 4 hours at 150°F \/ 65°C will eliminate any residual moisture and alcohol that is a by-product of the condensation reaction that can inhibit the cure of some urethane resins and rubbers. Allow mold to cool to room temperature before using.
