How many parts will I get per mold before the mold starts to break down?Updated 23 days ago

This all depends on the intricacy, what material you are pouring, and the detail of the part. Other factors are how many undercuts and how well the mold is cared for. It also depends on how often you are pouring, how hot your mold gets and if they are allowed to cool between pours. An approximation of the number of parts you should get out of a simple one piece mold is 50-100. Complex parts with deep undercuts and areas with thin silicone walls may only see 20-40 casting before it starts to breaks down.
