How to use
- Simply measure equal parts by volume of part A (white putty) and part
B (blue putty) into two separate equal sized balls. - Knead part A and part B together with your hands until uniform in color
(light blue). The heat from your hands will help activate the product. Once
the color is uniform, you are ready to begin your mold. - Press the kneaded mixture onto the surface of the object you wish to replicate.
Press firmly to ensure putty covers all surface areas. If covering a large
surface, you may work in small sections and in batches. To eliminate
air bubbles in your mold, begin pressing in the lowest surface points working
outward to high points. - After only 6 minutes, Knead-A-Mold® cures to a soft flexible silicone
rubber mold that can be used over and over again. - Gently loosen and pull the mold from the object.
- Allow the mold to cure for at least 1 hour before using.
Knead-a-Mold has a pot life/gel time of 6 minutes and a cure time of 6 minutes
at ambient temperature (70-72 degrees F)
Tips
- If using your mold for food (candy, chocolate, marzipan, etc.), wash fully cured mold in the dishwasher or in warm soapy water to sterilize before molding.
- Make sure mold is completely dry before molding.
- Remember to reserve any food molds strictly for food — do not use the same molds for clay and other crafts and visa versa.
- Knead-a-Mold can be used with Brush-a-Mold — the two will bond to each other.
- Knead-a-Mold is thermal set silicone so cure time and pot life will be shorter in higher temperatures.
- For two part molds: once the first half of your mold is completely cured, you may create a “key system” to lock the second half of your mold by cutting a small trench with an exacto knife around the top surface of your mold.
Before applying the second half of Knead-a-Mold, use a dry brush to dust
entire surface with baby powder—this will act as a release agent and
prevent the second half of your mold from sticking. Once baby powder
is applied, mix a second batch of Knead a mold and place on top of first mold.
Remove when fully cured.
If using your two part mold to pour, you may now cut (with an exacto
knife) a small hole or vent in which to pour resin, chocolate, etc.
