GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION
- Optimal Hardness: Molds are made of durable white silicone with optimal hardness to avoid damage to object details. They are flexible with smooth inner surfaces.
- Casting Guarantee: With proper storage and use, you can cast approximately 500 objects.
- Supportive PLA Hoop Attachment: The outer hoop is made from PLA, an organic bioplastic, to perfectly maintain the form during casting. Hoop color may vary depending on stock.
- Multi-Purpose Casting Advantage: Silicone molds are versatile. Besides stone powder casting, they are compatible with wax, soap, concrete, epoxy, scented stone, ceramic, and plaster castings. Pay attention to drying and working conditions of your material. Not recommended for food products.
- Package Contents: The incense burner and metal tray shown in images are not included. Your order includes only a high-quality silicone mold for making incense burners. The package consists of 5 parts: 1 silicone mold, 2 PLA hoops, and 2 clamps.
- Special Kraft Box and Information Label: Your product is shipped in a special kraft box with a label containing weight and dimension info to help calculate raw material usage and avoid waste. No need to search digital data each time.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
- First Use: Clean molds with soapy water and dry thoroughly before use.
- PLA Hoop Usage: Before casting, place the hoop on the silicone mold and secure with clamps. This prevents deformation of the silicone during casting. Important: Do not apply direct heat (hair dryer, heat gun, etc.) to the hoop as PLA may deform or melt.
- Level the Surface: Ensure the surface where you place the mold is flat and level for a perfect form.
- Stone Powder Mixing Ratio Tip: Reference ratio is 310-350 g water per 1 kg stone powder. Correct water ratio ensures stronger, more durable objects. Higher water increases fragility; lower water makes pouring and spreading harder. Adjust ratios seasonally with temperature changes.
- Air Bubble Warning: Adding Li-Quit Air Entrainer (1-3 g per 100 g mix) minimizes bubbles. After pouring, gently tap the mold to help bubbles rise to the surface.
- Demolding Time: Do not remove from mold before stone powder fully cures and heat phase ends to preserve smooth details.
- Mold Release Spray Use: For serial production, use mold release spray to extend mold life and ease demolding. Apply an even layer inside the mold.
CLEANING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
- Post-Use Cleaning: Wash with soapy water and dry thoroughly after casting.
- Proper Storage: Silicone is flexible and may deform under pressure over time. Store completely dry molds in original kraft box, away from direct sunlight, high heat, and heavy weights.
- Quick Cleaning: Use wet wipes, adhesive tape, or alcohol wipes as needed.
Remember, each casting is a rewarding experience. We wish you patience and joy in your production process.
