I recently discovered the wonders of BBDINO Super Elastic Silicone for my intricate sculpture projects, and I couldn't be happier with the results. This platinum cure silicone offers a host of features that make it a must-have for any sculptor. The standout feature of BBDINO Super Elastic Silicone is its incredibly low Shore hardness of less than 10A. This characteristic ensures easy demolding of even the most complex sculptures without sacrificing fine details. With approximately 250% elongation, the silicone's exceptional elasticity is vital for preserving the integrity of my sculptures during demolding and handling. One of the things I love about this silicone is its versatility in mixing options. Whether you prefer volume or weight measurements, BBDINO Super Elastic Silicone accommodates both, allowing for accurate and consistent mixing every time. The silicone is perfect for various mold types, including one-piece molds, glove molds, and matrix molds. It captures intricate details with precision, ensuring faithful reproduction of my sculptures in the final cast. However, it's important to note that BBDINO Super Elastic Silicone requires specific curing conditions. It must be cured above a certain temperature to ensure timely curing within the recommended 3-5 hour timeframe. Failure to meet the temperature requirement may result in longer curing times or incomplete curing. Additionally, users should be aware of the material compatibility of their master object to prevent cure inhibition, as this silicone is sensitive to various substances. In conclusion, BBDINO Super Elastic Silicone is an exceptional choice for sculptors seeking a high-performance molding material. Its low Shore hardness, outstanding elasticity, and compatibility with different mold types make it an invaluable tool for capturing intricate details. Just remember to follow the curing instructions and ensure material compatibility. With BBDINO Super Elastic Silicone, you can bring your artistic vision to life with remarkable precision and ease. Edit: 6/25/23 - I wanted to address some reviews I recently read about: -This silicone is very thin and runny which is exactly what you want to flow into the details of your object. -Also this is not a brush on silicone and should be not used for such applications. -Using this in the summer/ higher temps (80F+) will cause this silicone to cure faster than the stated time EDIT: 1/8/24 update - Still my favorite silicone to date. Extremely cost effective and has great shore hardness & elongation. I saw a 1 star video review stating that the silicone does not cure but the user was using 3d printed RESIN which contains SULFUR and WILL CAUSE CURE INHIBITION to platinum cure silicone. DO NOT DO THIS. Platinum cure silicone will not cure when in contact Sulphur. Also this is not a paid review, I make and cast sculptures full time for a living and this has been the most hassle-free and reliable silicone I've ever used.
