Instructions for use:
- Ensure that the temperature of the silicone and catalyst is at least 25 °C (if they have been stored at lower temperatures, for example during winter, warm them by placing them near a heat source such as a radiator)
- Thoroughly mix the liquid silicone rubber with the 4.75% catalyst supplied, using a spatula (e.g., 47.5 g per 1 kg of silicone = pour container B into container A) - Warning: once the catalyst is added to the silicone, you have only 4–5 minutes to pour it over the model to be reproduced
- Pour into the container holding the object to be reproduced (secure the object to the bottom of the container with glue)
- Allow 4–5 hours for the silicone to cure (during this time, the temperature must remain around 25 °C; if the temperature is lower, the curing time will increase)
