- Gather the ingredients and equipment:
To make silicone rubber, you will need silicone oil, a curing agent (such as a platinum-based catalyst), a mixing container, a spatula, and a mold. - Measure the ingredients:
For a basic silicone rubber mixture, combine the silicone oil and curing agent in a 10:1 ratio. For example, if you have 100 grams of silicone oil, you will need 10 grams of the curing agent. - Mix the ingredients:
Pour the silicone oil into the mixing container and add the curing agent. Use the spatula to thoroughly mix the two components together. Ensure that the mixture is uniform and free of any lumps. - Let it cure:
Transfer the mixed silicone rubber into a mold of your choice. Allow it to sit undisturbed for the recommended curing time, which can vary depending on the specific silicone oil and curing agent used. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for accurate curing time.
