How to Create a Silicone Mold for Shoe Soles
Follow these steps to create a high-quality silicone mold for shoe soles:
1. Preparation
- Ensure the surface of the original mold is clean.
- For products with fine patterns or porous surfaces, use soapy water, petroleum jelly, or an appropriate mold release agent to prevent sticking.
2. Mixing
- Stir the silicone thoroughly for at least 30 seconds before adding the catalyst. This process enhances fluidity and ensures the chemical components are evenly mixed.
- Perform preliminary testing before pouring to avoid wasting time and materials.
- After adding the catalyst, ensure the mixture is homogenous.
- Use a vacuum device to remove any air bubbles formed during mixing.
3. Pouring and Curing
- Once the silicone is poured, avoid disturbing it until the curing process is complete.
- For optimal performance, wait at least 24 hours after curing before starting production.
- Between castings, allow the mold to rest and clean it periodically to maintain its performance and lifespan.
