How do I clean a mold when I am through with it?Updated 23 days ago

If you are using one of the FDA silicones for food molds, do not use any harmful chemicals for clean up. Instead, wipe surfaces several times with a soft cloth or paper towel until a very thin film remains and then finish cleaning with rubbing alcohol or a degreasing (Dawn) cleaning agent and then rinse thoroughly with water. If the mold has some resin residue remaining, you can wipe out with cloth as above and clean with rubbing alcohol. The other option is to pour resin in the cavity which will bond to the residue in the mold cavity pulling it out with the cured piece.
