Is it heat-resistant after being made into a mold with this food-grade liquid silicone? As in can I bake it at a low temp?
Our silicone is a heat-resistant material, so it can be baked at low temperatures. In fact, silicone is often used in baking molds because it is non-stick and easy to clean.

Could I add solid fine mesh powders to this product for coloring purposes?
For optimal performance and successful curing of silicone, we highly recommend using specialized silicone pigments for coloring instead of adding any powders to the mixture. The addition of powders may weaken the overall performance of the silicone and affect its curing process. Furthermore, it's important to note that platinum-cured silicone can be sensitive to certain chemical elements, which may result in curing inhibition.

I've been trying to make molds out of 3D-printed UV resin masters lately, but the platinum-cure liquid silicone has been failing to cure. I've tried curing it at different temperatures and it still doesn't work.
What material are your 3D-printed molds made of? Is the liquid silicone you're using cured in other situations, such as in disposable plastic cups? I recommend either baking the 3D-printed UV resin master at 60°C to evaporate potential solvents, or spraying the 3D-printed part with clear acrylic paint as a protective coating.

Is it compatible with 3D-printed objects with uv photopolymer resin?
To use a 3D-printed object made of UV-sensitive resin as a master, it should be fully hardened before use by exposing it to sunlight or an artificial UV light source. Alternatively, you can spray a layer of primer on the UV-photosensitive resin master model. Otherwise, the silicone on the contact surface may be a little sticky.
