Cured silicone slides across itself and different surfaces.

Safety –\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e Use in a properly ventilated area (“room size” ventilation). Wear safety glasses, long sleeves and rubber gloves to minimize contamination risk. Wear vinyl gloves only. Latex gloves will inhibit the cure of the rubber. Store and use material at room temperature (73°F\/23°C). Warmer temperatures will drastically reduce working time and cure time. Storing material at warmer temperatures will also reduce the usable shelf life of unused material. These products have a limited shelf life and should be used as soon as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMEASURING \u0026amp; MIXING... \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eSLIDE™ STD is added by weight to Part B and should be thoroughly mixed into Part B before adding Part A.

Important: \u003c\/strong\u003eAdding SLIDE™ STD will lengthen the cure time of a platinum silicone, material may require 16 - 24 hours for full cure. After material is fully cured, demold and position the casting in such a way that all surfaces come into contact with air. This will allow the material to develop a very low-friction surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eADHESION AND LAMINATION... \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eOnce SLIDE™ STD has developed its ultra-low surface tension properties, other platinum silicones (Psycho Paint™, Dragon Skin™, Ecoflex™, etc.) \u003cstrong\u003ewill not bond to a cured piece\u003c\/strong\u003e. In order to bond another silicone to a casting made using SLIDE™ STD (painting with Psycho Paint™, for example) the new silicone \u003cstrong\u003emust be applied before the silicone with SLIDE™ STD added develops it’s low-friction surface.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSE IN A MOLD MATERIAL... \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilicone molds created with SLIDE™ STD are adhesive when casting urethane resins and other materials.\u003c\/strong\u003e If you use SLIDE™ STD in your mold material, applying a release is necessary before casting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.smooth-on.com\/msds\/files\/Slide_STD.PDF\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSDS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Smooth-On","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":48016957407547,"sku":"56844","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/7539\/6411\/files\/Slide-STD-pint-hand-1400x1050.jpg?v=1754776476","url":"https:\/\/maacaffestore.com\/products\/slide-std-pint","provider":"The Compleat Sculptor, Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
