in this guide you will discover why resin to molds and step by step how to prevent and fix it so your work pops out clean every time

section one mold wear and age

silicone molds age over time and become brittle or dry this roughened surface holds resin and resists release

invest in new molds when they start to crack or lose elasticity to keep demolding smooth

section two skipping sticker mold release or contamination

resin often when mold release is not applied or misapplied

release agents create a barrier between resin and mold and without that resin bonds to mold directly

external link to MoldAll guide on release agents types and use tips

([turn0search3]MoldAll prevent resin sticks to molds)

section three poor application of mold release

even if you use release the wrong amount or method causes partial adhesion

too thick coats can leave residue too thin coats fail to protect surface

always apply thin even layer allow to dry and reapply as needed

section four under mixed or uncured resin

resin that is under mixed or mixed incorrectly may not bond properly and may to mold or resist curing uniformity

be sure to scrape cup sides and mix thoroughly by volume or weight

section five melting mold from sticks heat tools

using torch or open flame to pop bubbles can overheat mold edges softening silicone and causing resin to fuse

use a heat gun or gentle flame instead to avoid burning mold

section six unsuitable mold materials

not all molds are made for resin some like soap or candle molds are less heat resistant or not flexible enough and cause release issues

use heat stable platinum or tin cure silicone made for sticks resin to prevent sticker

section seven heat from sticker resin reaction

thick resin pours or fast curing blends generate heat that warps or melts mold and resin sticks

keep pours small thin and use slow cure formulations for deeper pours

section eight silicone mold not fully cured

when molds are not fully cured during manufacture uncured silicone may bond with resin causing stuck spots or tearing

allow new sticks molds to cure fully before use

external link to Apel USA explanation on mold cure

section nine temperature and humidity effects

cold resin or mold slows cure and traps resin against mold surface

heat humidity and fluctuation add stickiness or poor release

work around twenty one to thirty degrees celsius and moderate humidity

section ten cleanup and demolding tips

warm water soap wipe mold

then apply mold release gently before reuse

demold by flexing silicone edges away from resin not pulling on resin

for stubborn areas use warm water soak or gentle plastic tool

section eleven voices from sticks makers

> using torch made my resin fuse to mold and misshapen result

from a reddit maker who shared how heat gun is safer alternative

section twelve summary sticks steps

check mold condition replace when brittle

clean mold apply proper release agent thin even coat

mix resin thoroughly avoid partial cure

control heat from tools and from resin exotherm

choose proper mold material for resin sticks type

ensure mold fully cured before casting

maintain proper workshop conditions

demold gently with care using flex or warm water if needed

conclusion resin sticks to mold

is common and fixable with focus on mold care release use mix and cure control and method

follow gentle steps and your pieces will pop out clean smooth and safe for reuse

keep your process consistent and success will follow
