Silicone for Architectural Restoration Molding

Make Old Buildings Beautiful Again! Silicone for Molding

Do you see old buildings? Sometimes parts are broken. We can fix them! Our special silicone helps.

It’s like play-doh for grown-ups! We use it to make copies of pretty shapes on buildings. This is called architectural restoration molding. Learn more about our [special silicone for old buildings](http://topsilsilicone.com/product/silicone-for-architectural-restoration-molding/).

Our silicone for architectural restoration molding is the best. It helps fix things like:

• Pretty stone shapes
• Old wood parts
• Fancy plasteron walls

This is heritage conservation. We help keep old places looking nice.

Why Our Silicone is Good?

• Makes Perfect Copies:It gets all the tiny lines and shapes just right. Like magic! This is high-fidelity architectural casts.
• Strong Outside:Sun? Rain? No problem! Our silicone stays strong. It is weather-resistant and UV-resistant. This is durable silicone for outdoor use.
• Easy to Use:Mix it, put it on, and wait! It’s simple. Like RTV Silicone (Room Temperature Vulcanizing).
• Perfect for [your home craft projects](http://topsilsilicone.com/product/silicone-for-home-crafts-hobbies-mold-making/).
• Safe for Old Stuff: It won’t hurt old stone or wood. It’s acid-free and conservation-compatible.

We learned from the best, like the Getty Conservation Institute and ICOMOS. We follow rules from Historic England and the Venice Charter.

What Can You Make?

You can copy almost anything on a building!

• Gargoyles(funny stone faces!)
• Columns(big round posts) like Ionic columns or Corinthian capitals.
• Fancy edges called cornicesor friezes.
• Pretty window shapes like Gothic tracery.
• Shapes on ceilings(ceiling medallions).
• Wall parts like quoinsand keystones.
• Balustrades(like railings).

Use it for historic building restoration materials. Make replication of classical architecture easy! It’s even great for making [copies of furniture shapes](http://topsilsilicone.com/product/silicone-for-furniture-mold-making/).

How It Works

1. Clean the old shape.
2. Put our silicone rubber on it. It can be self-thickening brushable molding silicone.
3. Let it dry. Now you have a mold! It’s a flexible mold making material.
4. Use the mold to make a new shape. You can use concrete, gypsum, or plaster. Like making decorative plaster replication.
5. Put the new shape on the building!

This is architectural mold making. It helps restore old architectural elements. Big projects like the Colosseum Restoration Projects or the Notre-Dame de Paris Restoration use ideas like this. Even the Parthenon Marbles Replication needs good copies.

Our Silicone Helps Many Things!

This is architectural grade silicone caulk too! Use mold-release agents for silicone to help. It’s good for stonework casting silicone and silicone casting for terracotta.

More Features of  Topsil Silicone :

1.)  1:1 mixing ratio platinum silicone , easy to operate it

2.) High-temperature resistant silicone and low-shrinkage molding materials.

3.) Good elasticity and high-elongation silicone rubber for tricky shapes like undercuts. Use it for injection molding for restoration or vacuum casting with silicone.

4.) It’s good for masonry, limestone, sandstone, and marble replication. Even for cast iron restoration or woodwork. Make lightweight architectural molds or reusable silicone molds. Sometimes you need multi-part silicone molds or reinforced silicone for heavy casts.

5.) Our silicone elastomers are restoration-grade. They are stain-resistant and frost-proof. Some are fire-retardant or have anti-fungal silicone additives. They are breathable silicone coatings but also good silicone-based gap fillers. Use silicone adhesives for heritage sites or high-tack silicone adhesives for sticking things.
