  FAQS

When casting shades, poisonous vapours are produced when each plastisol is heated. In order to protect yourself from these, gas masks with filter class ABEK1 are required. It is also necessary to wear protective gloves and long clothing!

THE FOLLOWING METHODS ARE BEST FOR HEATING PLASTISOL

1) with a gas burner and a casserole

This method is the best way to control and monitor the temperature of the plastisol, but it takes longer before the silicone is ready for use.

2) in a microwave oven

The fastest method but with disadvantages, especially for beginners. The microwave has poorer heat distribution due to the vortex that moves inside the microwave. Therefore, we do not recommend placing the jars with plastisol in the middle, but eccentrically! Set the microwave power to a low level so that the silicone does not burn, turn black and thus become unusable.

MICROWAVE HEATING INSTRUCTIONS

Fill 200 ml of plastisol into a 250 ml glass container, add a few drops of plastisol paint and mix thoroughly with a metal stirring rod or a simple kitchen knife that is not sharp. Then place the jar in the microwave and set on the lowest setting for 5 minutes. After about 1.5 minutes, check the consistency of the plastisol. It should slowly change from a milky liquid state to a gel-like state. If it's still quite gelatinous, don't stir yet!!!, otherwise a lot of air will accumulate in the plastisol, which will then prolong the process unnecessarily.

Now you check the plastisol every 15-20 seconds as it heats up and take it out again and again, stir it back and forth a bit (wear gloves for that reason alone!) until it's a very runny consistency and the colors are bright! If there are no more lumps and everything is relatively runny, you can now fill the plastisol into the mold. At this point, flavouring and glitter can be added to perfect the shade and make it even catchier! If air bubbles form as a result of overheating, simply allow the plastisol to sit for a few minutes until the air bubbles have completely disappeared.
