It’s also useful for rapid prototyping and short production runs where speed and reliable detail capture matter. If you require long working time, very high tear strength, or large-volume moulds, consider Smooth-On’s other platinum silicone grades tailored to those needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Do I need a scale to mix Mould Star 16 Fast?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No — the mix ratio is 1A:1B by volume, so you can measure equal volumes without a scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How long before I can demold my casting?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Typical demold time is about 30 minutes at room temperature, though thicker pours or cooler conditions take longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Smooth-On","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55302329565521,"sku":"B00ELLRSY0","price":77.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1086\/5567\/3681\/files\/smooth-on-mold-star-16-fast-front-pint.jpg?v=1791982428"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1086\/5567\/3681\/collections\/smooth-on-mold-star-16-fast-front-pint.jpg?v=1792143873","url":"https:\/\/craftiche.co.uk\/collections\/smooth-on.oembed","provider":"Craftiche","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
