We review the smooth-running ROTOCAST DIGITAL 12, make a bunch of figures, and find out if it is actually possible to heat cure and pull soft vinyl from silicone molds.
CURING PLASTISOL:
- In an old oven (not used for food), pre-heat silicone mold to 400 degrees.
- Pour liquid plastisol into hot mold and let sit for 2 to 3 minutes to form a semi-cured gel layer.
(The mold will drop well below 400 quickly, so I either set inside the oven w/ door open, or wrap with aluminum foil like a baked potato to keep heat inside.)
- Empty uncured plastisol into a spare container, to be reused.
- Place mold with hollow part(s) back into oven and let cure for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on heat. Oven should be at least 350, but not much higher than 400.
