GS-A20 1:1soft food grade liquid silicone rubber for 3D candle molds 

1.Description of candle mold food grade liquid silicone

GS-A20 Silicone rubber is platinum cure silicone rubber for mold making and silicone products, it is food grade certificated with hardness of 20 shore A. The silicone rubber will be cured under room temperature and can be cured fastly by heating, It’s two-components liquid silicone rubber , the mixing ratio is 1:1 . It has an exceptional fluidity and good operability.Especially ,the platinum cure silicone rubber has a lower shrinkage less than 0.1 % without deformation,higher temperature resistance and it is food grade.

GS-A20 is soft molding material , it is the best material to make the mold for small product and complicated product .

5. Using instructions of candle mold platinum cure liquid silicone

Step 1: prepare and clean the prototype.

You must make sure your original molds perfect. fix the original mold on a board , then using some assistant material(like cardpaper) to make a frame for to surround the prototype. The frame is no need ,if we make the mold by brushing way .

Step 2: Take the silicone and catalyst as the ratio 1:1 (silicone:catalyst=1:1) ,mix the silicone rubber and catalyst evenly. 
*Notes: Molding silicon rubber is a kind of flowing liquid and it contains two parts. Part A is a kind of flowing liquid and part B is the curing agent. Remember to mix part A and part B evenly, otherwise the silicon rubber will be partly solidified and this will bring troubles for your final operation. What’s more, the finished molds will have a short life. All of these will cause a waste of silicon rubber.

Step 3: Vacuum pumping

After mixed the silicone evenly, it is better to release the bubble by Vacuum pumping.

Step 4: Pouring cast or brushing cast

After released the bubble, we can pour/brush the silicone rubber on the prototype 
*Notes:Please finished all the steped within the operation time .If not it will cause cross linking reaction, and no more further steps will be available.So,we have to pay attention to the pot life and curing time.
