When to Use Paste Silicone? Your Best Ally for Fast, Flat and Textured Moulds

Imagine holding a dried leaf with stunning relief, or a small decorative plaque you’d love to replicate in resin, ceramic, or soap. You might wonder, “Should I use liquid silicone?” Maybe… but it’s not always the most practical option.

That’s where paste silicone comes in — the ideal material for making moulds quickly, easily, and precisely. It’s become a must-have in creative studios, especially for 2D pieces or designs with fine textures.

How to Make a Mould with Paste Silicone

The technique is simple but effective:

• Mix the two components

• Apply them directly onto the object you want to replicate

• Let it cure for a few minutes

No mould boxes or frames needed — perfect for quick, last-minute projects.

Why This Paste Makes All the Difference

Unlike liquid silicone, it isn’t poured — you shape it with your hands or a spatula, spread it onto the object, and within minutes your mould is ready.
Its texture is pliable yet stable, ideal for capturing fine details without warping.

Perfect for artisan jewellery making, it delivers precision in tight spaces without wasting material.
