Is this product based on platinum or tin curing? I am asking in the context of 3D printed masters, which are said to have adverse effects on curing.
If you are using UV resin as your 3D printing material, the contact surface with platinum-cured silicone may become sticky and unable to cure. In this case, you need to apply a primer on the surface of the master to protect it. Tin-cure silicones are not affected by this issue.

What temperature does this clear silicone need to cure?
Our clear liquid silicone is RTV silicone, which means it can be cured at room temperature. However, the temperature should not be lower than 20°C/68°F, otherwise it may be difficult to cure or the curing hardness may not meet expectations. Alternatively, you can increase the temperature to speed up the cure. This typically takes 1-2 hours at 60-80°C (140-176°F).
