we used these molds (mold max) about a douzen time and they were great. we havent used them in a few weeks and now they have these tiny bumps all over them, like the mold has goose bumps!

the molds were cured under pressure.

anyone ever see this?

yes they are silicone rubber. we never deair since we put them in a pressure pot as soon as we are done pouring them.

we have douzens of molds and ive never seen this before.
this is the biggest mold we have, maybe that is somehow related.

what i find stange is that they were fine before.


Sounds like bad silicone

Sounds like you got a lot of bad silicone rubber! Ask for your money back. Mold Max has never worked vary well for us.
