Silicone rtv diluent, thinner for mold rubber
This is a pint container of 20cs (very thin) silicone oil. It can be used as a thinner or diluent for RTV mold making rubber, as a release agent, or as a dampening fluid in guages.
It adds lubricity to a silicone rubber mold, which helps the parts release easier and makes the mold last longer. You can also extend the life of the RTV mold by occasionally wiping it onto the mold surface.
The normal amount to use is about 10%, but you can use at as you like for your particular application. If you use a lot of it, the durometer of the rubber will decrease.
It also makes a great synthetic lubricant and is widely used in paintball markers.
