We make some incredibly thick and durable silicone molds, but mistakes can happen! Molds can rip, tear or get damaged. Not using a proper non-silicone based mold release can result in mold tear out (a void or divot on the surface of the mold) which can really put a kink in your day.
Luckily, there is hope! Simply grab some 100% pure silicone caulk (not acrylic latex caulk!), a hobby knife/putty knife/or razor blade and repair your mold with ease. Follow along in this video to learn how to fix a torn or damaged silicone mold, and extend the life of an aging mold that might be starting to deteriorate.

Great tips on filling mold tears. So far I haven't had any, but I will definitely be saving this video just in case!
You just saved me a bucket of money! Thanks so much- I’m off to find my caulk & fix all of my damaged molds!

As long as its pure silicone without acrylic in it, I don't see why it wouldn't
I've heard that petroleum jelly and vegetable based cooking oils are safe to use as a mold release. I haven't tried it yet as I want to verify it to be true beforehand. I'm not in a position where I can afford to purchase anything at the moment.

It might work with tiny silicone molds with little surface area, but try at your own risk with our large molds. Youll likely see some damage and reduced life.
Please don't use your fingers to wipe your knife blade! Ask me how I know.....😬
