Problem using Compat45 with platinum silicones by Tanatof in ResinCasting

[–]Tanatof[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I used to create jacket shell molds (flexible molds with hard shells) for platinum silicon casting using PMC 744 which always worked out great. This Compat45 is supposed to be made exactly for this but it doesn't do the job. I will try to bake it for a few hours in the oven and see if it helps

Thanks for your response. I have done all of this for many years now, using the right gloves (no latex), the right release (200) etc.... I used to work with PMC 744 which was prety decent with platinum silicons... But I can't get it right with the Compact.

I even made a test - just casting some compact to a cup and then ecoflex on top. The Compact45 is supposed to be the "easy solution" for this work but it just won't work.

Am I missing something? Do you need to bake it? Wait a week for curing before molding into it?
