Best Practices for Dow Silastic V RTV Silicone Rubber

*See Terms of Use Below
1. Surface Preparation
  
  The surface of the original should be clean and free of loose material. If necessary, and in particular with porous substrates, use a suitable release agent such as petroleum jelly or soap solution. In all case, it is advisable to check before casting that no discoloration or adhesion occurs between the product and the original or mold frame.
2. Mixing
  
  Weigh 100 parts of SILASTIC V RTV Base and 10 parts of SILASTIC V RTV Curing Agent (see handling precautions) in a clean container, then mix together until the curing agent is completely disperse in the base. Hand or mechanical mixing can be used, but do not mix for an extended period of time or allow the temperature to exceed 35°C (95°F). Mix sufficiently small quantities to ensure thorough mixing of the base and curing agent.
3. Deairing/Degassing
  
  It is strongly recommended that entrapped air be removed in a vacuum chamber, allowing the mix to completely expand and then collapse. After a further 1-2 minutes under vacuum, the mix should be inspected and if free of air bubbles, can then be used. A volume increase of 2-3 times will occur on vacuum de-airing the mixture, so a suitably large container should be chosen.
  
  Note: If no vacuum de-airing equipment is available, air entrapment can be minimized by mixing a small quantity of base and curing agent, then using a brush, painting the original with a 1-2mm layer. Leave at room temperature until the surface is bubble free and the laver has begun to cure. Mix a further quantity of base and curing agent and proceed as follows to produce a final mold. The base/curing agent ration MUST be between 100:9.5 and 100:10.5.
