In artificial jade mold making, the use of liquid mold silicone material is a critical step, directly affecting mold precision and the quality of the finished artificial jade product. Below is a detailed guide on its usage, including preliminary preparations, operational steps, and precautions:

I. Preliminary Preparations

1. Material and Tool Preparation

   • Core Materials: Liquid mold silicone (typically two-component, with Component A being the silicone base and Component B the curing agent), artificial jade raw materials (such as resin, stone powder, etc., ensure compatibility with silicone in advance).
   • Auxiliary Tools: Measuring cups (with clear markings, separate for Components A and B), stirring rods (glass or plastic rods, avoiding shedding debris), release agent (such as Vaseline or silicone oil, for complex textures or porous prototypes), electronic scale (precision 0.1g, ensuring accurate ratio), container (for mixing silicone, must be clean and free of impurities), prototype (the "master mold" to be replicated, materials can include plaster, resin, metal, etc., surface must be smooth and free of oil stains).

2. Prototype Treatment

• Cleaning: Wipe the prototype surface with alcohol or soapy water to remove dust, oil stains, and residual release agent, preventing bubbles or delamination in the silicone mold.
• Repair: If the prototype has minor defects (such as scratches or dents), fill with putty or repair paste and polish smooth to ensure accurate replication by the mold.
• Applying Release Agent: If the prototype surface is smooth and the material does not adhere to silicone (e.g., resin, metal), this step can be omitted; for porous materials like plaster or complex textures, apply a release agent evenly (thin and fully covered) to prevent mold tearing during demolding.
