Mold Setup:
- While not usually an absolute necessity, use of release on the rubber Mold is recommended.
- Apply a release agent that is safe for rubber (sold here) just prior to casting the concrete.
- The Sample Maker Molds are designed to simply be filled with concrete.
- Vibrate the Sample Maker and concrete to remove air pockets.
- Cured concrete samples should easily remove from the rubber Molds.
- Any small bumps in the concrete can be lightly removed with 400 grit sandpaper or a Diamond Sanding Block.
- Most rubber products season
from use with concrete, as the cement will fill small air holes in the
rubber. Keep that in mind when cleaning the mold, as it may perform
better left with some cement residue filling the imperfections in the
rubber.
- Clean rubber Mold with a sponge or stiff brush after each use.
- Dried concrete can be removed by carefully scraping with a putty knife or wire brush.
- Difficult to clean molds can be scrubbed with a light muriatic acid wash (20 parts water to 1 part muriatic acid).
