Can a clear molded silicone have a graphic painted top surface? Can the light transmission properties of the clear molded silicone be used for backlighting a graphic over a PCBA with LEDs?
Sorry, clear liquid silicone is not suitable for the project application you described.

What are the advantages of using transparent silicone for casting epoxy resin?
Transparent silicone has high strength, high tear resistance, and high tensile properties. Compared with condensation-cure silicone, it significantly improves the strength of silicone rubber and the mold release durability for polyurethane resin and epoxy resin.

Is the silicone mold capable of enduring high temperatures, like those of molten wax?
The melting point of hot wax is around 40° C (104° F), whereas RTV-2 Silicone is resistant to temperatures as high as 250° C (482° F). This significant temperature tolerance ensures that pouring melted wax into a silicone mold will not harm the mold.
