Capture the detail of a small ornament, figurine or flat relief in a flexible mould. Pébéo Gédéo Siligum is a two-component silicone paste that you press directly onto the object. Reuse the set mould to make decorative casts.
What is included?
- 300 g of moulding paste in total, divided between a white and a blue component.
- The object, worktop protection, release agent and casting material are supplied separately.
Choose this paste for small, detailed shapes and flat decorations. It makes the mould; a separate casting material makes the finished reproduction. The amount needed depends on the shape and thickness of the mould.
Making a mould
Prepare the object and workspace before mixing: Siligum sets quickly.
- Place a clean, dry object on a flat surface. Protect the worktop with plastic film or baking paper.
- Take equal amounts of white and blue paste, 50/50. Knead promptly until uniformly light blue with no streaks.
- Form a ball and gently press the paste over the object from the centre outwards. Cover the detail with an even layer about 3 to 4 mm thick.
- Allow about 5 minutes to set at 22 °C, then gently remove the mould from the object. Mix small portions that you can apply immediately.
From mould to cast
Use the mould with plaster, Gédéo Cristal resin or reconstituted stone. Coat the mould with petroleum jelly release agent before casting Cristal resin. Allow each casting material to cure fully according to its own instructions before removing the cast. A plaster-bandage support shell helps a larger, flat mould keep its shape during casting.
Practical use and storage
For adult creative projects. Follow the pack instructions. Keep the unmixed components dry in their original packaging and clean with soapy water. For a little more working time, refrigerate both components for 1 hour before mixing.
